Been a while since a solid “Friday YouTubing” post, so I thought I’d pick one of my current favorite tunes, but with a twist.
Just last night I was just talking to my buddy who caught My Morning Jacket and the Slip last Friday here in Chi-town (one show, of several, that I lamented having to miss because of my Thanksgiving travels).
Anyways, he told me that MMJ was joined by the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra for a few tunes, which sounded awesome and made missing the show that much harder to swallow. MMJ is a great live band, and having the orchestral arrangments thrown into their sound is all the better in my opinion. Unfortunately, no video of that exact performance, but here’s MMJ playing what’s easily one of my favorite tunes, “Gideon,” backed by the Boston Pops Orchestra on Letterman:
Have a great weekend!
