They didn't get to see MM, as they played back to back.  I, however, got to see my two favorite bands back to back.  Also saw MMJ in Houston Thurs nite and MM in Austin Fri nite.  Great wknd.  www.statesman.com gives a very misinformed review of MMJ's ACL set (Too many fucking acronyms):

QuoteAn indie band from a low-profile city like Louisville gets a major-label contract and puts out a career-making record. Pretty clear what it does at a big-time rockfest, right? Start off with a barn-burning anthem, work the major-label record, throw in a few old faves to reward the hardcore fans and close down with another barn-burning anthem.

Well, two out of four ain't bad. My Morning Jacket opened its afternoon set with the epic "One Big Holiday" and closed with the Quicksilver Messenger Service-worthy guitar freakout "Run Thru." But unless my ears deceived me — and this band's murky catalogue often does deceive me — it only played one other song off the latest record: "Mahgeetah," which came right before the set-ender. The rest of the time, the band played less familiar and less over-the-top material, squandering the not inconsiderable momentum it built right away with "Holiday."

The band certainly looked rocking enough. Leader Jim James came dressed in a brown blazer, white T-shirt and hair — lots of hair. At times, with his scruffy mane blowing across his face, he looked like Venus on the Half Shell on a bad hair day. And Patrick Hallahan has down the "stupid drummer" look that Aerosmith's Joey Kramer perfected so many years ago.

But the set featured a lot of slow, dirge-y numbers, some acoustic stuff and one genuinely odd song that featured no guitars (surely an MMJ first) and spotlighted synthetic drums (some of them programmed?) that suggested James has been listening to Trio's "Da Da Da" lately.

It was, in truth, a gutsy set to play for an outdoor festival crowd that came to rock out. Even so, the fans showed their love for MMJ, even if that love was tested pretty hard. Wonder if the execs at RCA are quite so indulgent.

I don't think that this guy knows when "Cobra" was written...oh well, he's just one reviewer.  I was there and they were the shit (as usual).
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live one big holiday.

"Wonder if the execs at RCA are quite so indulgent."

What a fucking tool!!!!!!!!

This guy has down the "ignorant music reviewer" shtick to a science.
This guy shouldn't be allowed to handle a pen.
