Another difficult decision awaits me: My Morning Jacket is on the same time as Kanye West. I go West, thinking I'll catch the beginning of his show and make a break for My Morning Jacket, but since both bands are running behind, I walk back and forth between the two stages, appearing to be disoriented and possibly suffering from sunstroke (hmmm...perhaps in this case appearances are not deceiving). I commit to My Morning Jacket and am amply rewarded when I arrive: Cue first proud-to-be-an-American moment of the day. Tightest performance thus far goes to these guys, as my face might've melted from lead singer Jim James' electric guitar stylings on "What a Wonderful Man."
