1999 videos from Harvest Showcase webcast

[thebigbang]

Here it is, the whole show by My Morning Jacket from September 1999. I've got the sync on the sound real close for most of these, if YouTube doesn't do anything strange to it.
The Dark video also has Twilight. YouTube kept killing my Twilight video, maybe because it was on a watch list due to the Twilight movie? Anyway, you get a twofer on that one. Eventually got Twilight online.

those youngin's could tear it up.  it's night and day compared to now only 10-11years later.  the songs continue to build souls or something.  getting more intense as each year passes.  vintage jacket.  radical job bang, thanks for taking the time to fix these lil gems up all pretty and nice.  for every person that thanks you there are a million others who lurk, watch it and say it in their hearts, so thank you.  keep up the good work, or else.

just watched it all the way through.  felt like a daze so i pretended i was there.  fucking amazing set, especially for how early in their career.  i don't know if its just cause i revere this band now, but if i saw this 11 years ago i feel like my life would have been different somehow.

even a year or two later in that "This Is Not America" documentary they rip it even harder than this. quality band.

Thankyou, this is so cool!

thebigbang,

This is massively cool my friend. You must know Kip I guess. After the show, the economy went to ISH and 52 has been in mothballs since 2004. I went broke trying to keep her alive after bandwidth "went corporate".

I am actually still at it though and am doing my damndest to make plans for the Fifteenth Anniversay of this show which includes an incredible follow-up in 2014.

I don't want to spoil anything so I am not going to let the "cat outta the bag" just yet EXCEPT to say I already have:

Paul K ( www.PaulKopasz.com ) and
the Air Conditioners ( http://towil.bandcamp.com/album/the-air-conditioners-blow-e-p )

Committed to play and are hoping MMJ/Jim as well as Will Oldham will consider performing. We haven't even got to the point of having to ask so we're a ways from that.

Anyway, I have to thank you archiving this incredible performance and I hope the exposure My Morning Jacket attained with this webcast and the tens of thousands of listener sessions they achieved off our servers from 1999 to 2004 on our twelve ShoutCast stations did a little to help them achieve their incredible success.

IMO MMJ are the hardest working/HARDEST MF'N ROCKING band I have ever worked with in my 20+ years in the bidness.

Sincerely,...Flo-

Pretty predictable set list; they could have added some things they don't play every freaking show

Tracy,

GIVE ME STRENGTH MAN!!!

MMJ came outta nowhere that day in 1999. Fully accomplished. They arrived at the gig as a BAND, like a GANG, incredibly assure of themselves with friends, roadies and girlfriends all on the same page, it was absolutely just perfect.

So this set list was really the very first time anyone from the Louisville scene heard them while over 10,000 folks watched Online.

Having said that, they blew everyone away that day.

Jim also told me just a year or two later at an outdoor show of their's at the Bluegrass Brewing co. (off Shelbyville and Lexington Roads in the East end of town) that he would be happy to NEVER see this footage made available ever. I never put it up to heed his request, I think it had to do something with the drummer and how much a perfectionist (in a great way) that he is with his music. 

That show was most memorable b/c he handed me a VHS copy of their tour footage from Holland which blew me away once again. After the show, I immediately went home, encoded and uploaded it and had it available Online on our servers at like 5am the next morning, I didn't sleep that night I was so excited. 52 streamed it for 4 years and once again, it got tens of thousands of viewer sessions.

Here's Part One if you all haven't seen it :
