Unbelievable set last night. And with no repeats, tonight should be a lot of fun (even if watching from my couch)
Its awesome that they are doing the bootlegs. $20 for what will turn out to be about 5 hours worth of great music and again, no repeats. Love this band.
AMEN. Saw them a couple nights ago in Salt Lake City. Shorter set because these mormons like to get to bed early....but still amazing. Can't wait to watch Red Rocks 2 tonight (from my couch.)
Shit. I just saw last night's setlist and sad to see some amazing songs that have already been guaranteed not to be repeated.....but, sooooo many songs left to play. Damnit I can't wait to get these bootlegs. I love that they're finally offering official boots. Jim James has the voice of a million angels.

I forgot to set the DVR to record longer. Cut off during PWW. That's an amazing encore.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
so...
directv decided to lose satellite signal for no apparent reason, and it did not record the red rocks show :x

My bad on the setlist, it was actually The Day is Coming that was on the set, but not played. Outta my System was played.
I keep seeing these sets, and I'm really, really bummed that I'm not hitting a show this summer. I hope the Boston NYE rumor holds true. With the 3 NY shows rumored to be at the end of December, I think it will :ugeek:

(I am cross-posting separate reviews for MMJ and Neil Young to four message boards I follow and also sending to my concert pals.)
I just finished my endurance test of four nights in a row at Red Rocks shows . Red Rocks is a destination venue for the hard-core fans of any band that plays there, and this was no exception for the fans of My Morning Jacket (I am guessing at least a few hundred) and Neil Young (a few thousand? It seemed like everyone I met was from out of state). All four nights had gorgeous weather, nothing better than a summer night at Red Rocks. i am sure the acoustics were excellent all the way to the top.
My Morning Jacket has been in my wheelhouse ever since I stumbled upon them performing a cover of "A Quick One" on a Bonnaroo webcast in 2006. They are a band very much like my other current obsession, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, in that they have nearly zero visibility among casual rock fans (aka 'civilians'), and frustratingly little radio airplay to boost their popularity, despite many great songs and incendiary live shows. Yet through incessant touring and good support acts, MMJ had gotten to the point of headlining Red Rocks Friday & Saturday, this time supported by Trombone Shorty and Band of Horses.
MMJ was my favorite concert of 2011, so when they announced these two shows, with no repeat songs, I just had to move my family vacation return flight up a few hours on Friday so I could get to Red Rocks in time for the Friday show. My friend Joe from the Pearl Jam board (Guacamole Joe) and MMJ board (JoeV) was kind enough to hold a 5th row GA seat right in front of Jim James. On Saturday, I returned with my 22 y.o. daughter, who loves my copy of "Evil Urges", and we got there in time for the early admittance for Fan Club members, securing 8th row, next to the soundboard, my favorite spot at Red Rocks. I like these fan friendly efforts of MMJ as they grow in popularity.
Frankly I'm too old to learn all the MMJ titles, I just know I loved them. They played 61 total songs in two nights: 2:40 the first night and 3:30 the second night (until 1:00 a.m.!) Living in Denver, I am spoiled by the inspiring "Red Rocks effect" on performers here and it certainly seems to always inspire MMJ.. The second show was the second longest in MMJ history, and from the comments I have read on the MMJ board, these two shows are being considered among their most epic performances. I can't argue with that. Jim James has one of the most amazing voices in rock, and this band shows such infectious enthusiasm for each other, often replicating the "Crazy Horse" huddle while they jam.
MMJ has a whole catalog of songs only their fans know, but IMO they are instantly likeable. They also played some incredible covers, including Rocket Man (Elton John); Tyrone (Erykah Badu); Never Tear Us Apart (INXS- soulful passion!); Rock the Casbah (first time and great encore song); Isn't it a Pity (George Harrison- excellent jam!!!); Oh Sweet Nuthin (Velvet Underground- Rocking!) It makes No Difference (The Band) and Move on Up (Curtis Mayfield -with support from horn section of Trombone Shorty and a cameo with John Oates (Hall & Oates))
The Sunday show was broadcast live on AXS (formerly HDNet) and will be rebroadcast in the future. (I can see myself and my daughter in a few spots!) Check it out if you get the chance.

I hear ya, and not sure if that is the reason or not. But to go from 29-30 songs two nights in a row back to 20-22 seems strange. But, yes, they need to plan for these things. And I like the jams as much as anybody, but not always at the expense of cutting 3-4 other songs.

I just finished my endurance test of four nights in a row at Red Rocks shows . Red Rocks is a destination venue for the hard-core fans of any band that plays there, and this was no exception for the fans of My Morning Jacket (I am guessing at least a few hundred) and Neil Young (a few thousand? It seemed like everyone I met was from out of state). All four nights had gorgeous weather, nothing better than a summer night at Red Rocks. i am sure the acoustics were excellent all the way to the top.
My Morning Jacket has been in my wheelhouse ever since I stumbled upon them performing a cover of "A Quick One" on a Bonnaroo webcast in 2006. They are a band very much like my other current obsession, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, in that they have nearly zero visibility among casual rock fans (aka 'civilians'), and frustratingly little radio airplay to boost their popularity, despite many great songs and incendiary live shows. Yet through incessant touring and good support acts, MMJ had gotten to the point of headlining Red Rocks Friday & Saturday, this time supported by Trombone Shorty and Band of Horses.
MMJ was my favorite concert of 2011, so when they announced these two shows, with no repeat songs, I just had to move my family vacation return flight up a few hours on Friday so I could get to Red Rocks in time for the Friday show. My friend Joe from the Pearl Jam board (Guacamole Joe) and MMJ board (JoeV) was kind enough to hold a 5th row GA seat right in front of Jim James. On Saturday, I returned with my 22 y.o. daughter, who loves my copy of "Evil Urges", and we got there in time for the early admittance for Fan Club members, securing 8th row, next to the soundboard, my favorite spot at Red Rocks. I like these fan friendly efforts of MMJ as they grow in popularity.
Frankly I'm too old to learn all the MMJ titles, I just know I loved them. They played 61 total songs in two nights: 2:40 the first night and 3:30 the second night (until 1:00 a.m.!) Living in Denver, I am spoiled by the inspiring "Red Rocks effect" on performers here and it certainly seems to always inspire MMJ.. The second show was the second longest in MMJ history, and from the comments I have read on the MMJ board, these two shows are being considered among their most epic performances. I can't argue with that. Jim James has one of the most amazing voices in rock, and this band shows such infectious enthusiasm for each other, often replicating the "Crazy Horse" huddle while they jam.
MMJ has a whole catalog of songs only their fans know, but IMO they are instantly likeable. They also played some incredible covers, including Rocket Man (Elton John); Tyrone (Erykah Badu); Never Tear Us Apart (INXS- soulful passion!); Rock the Casbah (first time and great encore song); Isn't it a Pity (George Harrison- excellent jam!!!); Oh Sweet Nuthin (Velvet Underground- Rocking!) It makes No Difference (The Band) and Move on Up (Curtis Mayfield -with support from horn section of Trombone Shorty and a cameo with John Oates (Hall & Oates))
The Sunday show was broadcast live on AXS (formerly HDNet) and will be rebroadcast in the future. (I can see myself and my daughter in a few spots!) Check it out if you get the chance.

I think Red Rocks sapped some energy from the guys. Although curfews may be holding them back too.
I hate when bands use this excuse. Find out the curfew beforehand, and plan accordingly.

I hear ya, and not sure if that is the reason or not. But to go from 29-30 songs two nights in a row back to 20-22 seems strange. But, yes, they need to plan for these things. And I like the jams as much as anybody, but not always at the expense of cutting 3-4 other songs.
hoping for a longer set at the philly show..
