As this is a site primarily dealing with live music and the concert industry, it’s only fitting that it actually includes some live music. So, for the first installment of the weekly “Live from the (Live Music) Archive,” series, we’re going with some live My Morning Jacket, as a timely follow-up to this post (that included My Morning Jacket’s fall tour with the Slip). This is a concert the band played last fall in its hometown of Louisville, KY. The recording is crisp and it nicely showcases what this band is capable of in the live setting:

LMM’s Show Notes:
Some of my fav cuts from this shows are:
- Gideon – something about the guitar riff and vocal pairing in this song makes it my current favorite, hands-down.
- Wordless Chorus – with the high-pitched guitar licks, washed-out vocals, and the loping new-wave keyboard sound that sets the pulse, this song has such a cool mix of textures
- It Beats 4 U – musically dark and haunting, but lyrically beautiful and heart-wrenching
- Golden – a beautiful tune that’s perfect for James’s vocals; I especially love the pedal steel
- Magheeta – just a rockin way to close a show
As always, the Live Music Archive allows for both downloading and streaming, so you can preview the show before grabbing it outright…or just grab it. But if you dig their sound, show them some support and check out a show or buy an album.
