Hello Brella. :)

[Angry Ewok]

Greetings!  I am new, too.  I saw MMJ at Riverfront Park in Nashville last Friday, and I haven't been the same since.  Their music is so full and rich and moving, and I feel swept away by each song and get lost in it.  Such beautiful stuff!  I'm so glad to read that others are equally moved by their talents.  I'm so glad to be a part of this forum!!!   :)

I've seen the guys about a dozen times, and every single show is a life changing experience.

I would agree........years ago in at Lollapalooza 2 when I saw Pearl Jam I felt that way about them.  Since then only Wilco has done that to me...........until My Morning Jacket came around.  Now they own my soul musically.  I like At Dawn.....it is one of those albums for me too.  I like all of theirs however for different reasons.  There are a few others I like a great deal.  The Drive By Truckers......The Black Keys.......Elliott Smith.....Arcade Fire.....The National......Iron and Wine......and forever Tom Petty have an effect on me.  Not to the above mentioned degree but an effect none the less.

In 45 years, I have never been so moved by a band that I was willing to step on to six planes in the last seven days to see them perform.  Two more shows next week and the memory of SXSW, a Jim James solo performance and Bonnaroo.  Wow.

Hey LoveDog, did you ever hear that story about Eddie Vedder when MMJ opened for them? Vedder was doing an interview during MMJs soundcheck one night early on the tour. Eddie was saying how he liked the guys and how their music really reminds him of The Band. No sooner did he say that when they launched into a cover of It Makes No Difference. Vedder said "OK man, thats too weird, interview over, I gotta go see this", and he ended up performing it with them on a number of nights. Cool stuff.

Oh, yeah!  I do remember that.  I had almost forgotten, though.  It seems like it was a side bar in a magazine interview or something easy to miss.  That warmed me over.  I've got those June '06 shows where he sings with them on that song.  That's one prolly my favorite song of theirs...and to hear the Jacket do it, as superbly as they do, blows my mind.  It's almost better in ways.  Anyway, that song would make me lose all control of my bodily functions if I heard it live...and I wouldn't even be embarassed...but I don't expect them to play it anymore.   :-/
