Show reviews in the media

Here comes one more:
http://www.nola.com/jazzfest/index.ssf/2010/04/my_morning_jacket_earned_its_r.html
"From the outset, leader Jim James demonstrated what it means to be a guitar god in the post-hair metal era, navigating the thrilling swells of "One Big Holiday" by playing his instrument instead of merely humping it"

And a short mention here:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2010-04-25-jazz-fest-new-orleans_N.htm
"My Morning Jacket's ethereal/anthemic sound sometimes seems designed to be performed in cathedrals or opera houses, but if proved equally potent on an outdoor stage. James' angelic falsetto played off the powerful crunch of his bandmate's guitars and rhythm section on standouts like Mahgeetah  and Thank You Too"

:D

And a Spinner one:

""Music has ripped the painting off the walls," My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James said at one point in the evening, marveling at the opportunity to play the venue with the eight-member jazz ensemble that calls it home (and is currently touring with the band)"
:D

Jazz fest on Jambase

"I have seen Jim James bring rain to Bonnaroo when Tennessee needed it, and now I've seen him bring sun to Jazz Fest when New Orleans needed it. A powerful, moving performance by the Jacket, they touched on all facets of their catalog including Curtis Mayfield's "Move On Up" to close the set"

Interference - The Jacket is back at it!
"http://www.interference.com/13105-the-jacket-are-back-at-it/
Seeing the Jacket's many gifts, the Nashville faithful bore witness to the sheer ingenuity of a band that can surf seemingly oppositional genres to create a seamlessly unified wave of wondrous get-down"
:D

Another show review, with photos yay (via http://twitter.com/mspark)

"Jim James entertains. Whether he's sweeping his cape over the crowd or pulling toy guns from the twin holsters at his hips, there's always something fun to look at on stage during a My Morning Jacket show. The band, who must single-handedly keep the folks making smoke-machine-juice in business, straddle the divide between concert and production. Fortunately, there's some fine musicianship behind the borderline contrived theatrics, and MMJ delivers one hell of a rocking show"

Concert review: My Morning Jacket at Merriweather Post Pavilion
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/midnight_sun/blog/2010/05/concert_review_my_morning_jack.html
"The band, formed in Louisville, Ky., in the late '90s, expertly meshed high culture and deep roots with rock and roll's animal instincts"
:)

Here is the somewhat lame take from the Columbus paper.

Concert review: My Morning Jacket at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre (Daily Loaf blog)
http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/dailyloaf/2010/05/03/concert-review-my-morning-jacket-at-the-st-augustine-amphitheatre-with-setlist/
"one of the most entertaining and generally consistent bands I've had the pleasure of seeing live. As they continue to develop and grow in popularity, I'm certain they'll keep delivering shows like the one this evening; and that fans will continue to make cross-state treks to see them wherever they headline"

Thanks for sharing, some parts were a bit lame perhaps, but some were good  :)

[mike]

Thank you for all those articles you have posted! I am about to work my way through some more of them. I am being a little too harsh to call that a lame review, most of it is quite on.

Another one:

JamBase Koka Booth Amphitheatre
http://www.jambase.com/Articles/Story.aspx?storyID=22604
"Sporting a gun holster with a toy revolver and a Nintendo Duck Hunt  gun inside, Jim showed off his slinging capabilities during "What A Wonderful Man" and "Touch Me Pt. 2." "Wordless Chorus" further displayed James' playful nature with the singer donning a cap and joyfully posing as a superhero. Remarkably, none of this distracts the rest of the musicians in the group. Bo Koster, Patrick Hallahan and Tom Blankenship all seemed to be feeding off the vibes James created throughout the night by gradually increasing the intensity of their playing."
