gotta say i get goosebumps a lot when i listen to the jacket, but ones that stand out right now that i can think of:
--end of lay low, just when you think they're gonna wrap up the epic guitar solo, they bring it back up a notch
--"What are you waiting for!!!" - Smokin From Shootin
--"So!" beginning of the second verse of xmas curtain- -okonokos and ofcourse the beginning of steam engine
-Chills, gives me chills all the way thru
and there are many more, anyone care to share their goosebump moments?
You named some damn good ones!
If visual moments count, I'd nominate another from Steam Engine, Okonokos version. Starting with "to anyone who wondered", the one long shot from the back of the crowd that slowly zooms in to Jim as the last verse picks up in intensity is the best damn shot I've ever seen in a concert film. Never fails to absolutely floor me.
And then, of course, Tommy's bass lines during the freakout after the last verse ALWAYS give me SERIOUS goosebumps, not to mention a huge smile on my face. He RIPS it.
I Will Sing You Songs.... the journey through the ever changing riffs, from the end of the beginning jam and into the first "AHHHH"'s, Jim making love to the mic stand, the end of the second verse where the riff blasts the song into a JJ "AHHHHH" epic ending jam... the whole song in general activates the tear ducts and is an emotional-goosebump-inducing journey.
Dondante- "YOU HAD ME WORRIED"
Steam Engine - "THE FACT THAT MY HEARTS BEATING, IS ALL THE PROOF YOU NEED"
"Your skin looks good in the moonlight and, god damn, those shaky knees..."
The part in Circuital as it ramps up...
Jim screaming "OH SHIT RUN!" after the middle of Run Thru...
Phone - "Tell me there's nobody else in the world,Tell me there's nobody else".

"Your skin looks good in the moonlight and, god damn, those shaky knees..."
I absolutely love this line. Easily my favorite line of any MMJ song.
At Forecastle, hearing the opening guitar note of "Run Thru" sent a shiver down my spine because I'd desperately wanted to hear the full version of it for a while. So now every time I hear it, I not only get to enjoy a killer song but it also brings me back to an amazing day/night.
Mrs. HH and I have been going to the Newport Folk Festival for 20 years.
This summer, when the gates opened, Penny Lane & I along with Trish & Bob's daughter Chrissie were the designated runners and we took off to grab some prime real estate for the large group of forum peeps who were going to be in attendance.
When we get to the front of the stage to lay down our tarps and blankets, a full 90 minutes before the festival was set to start, MMJ is on the stage doing a soundcheck and they are singing "Welcome Home".
Goosebumps for sure.
My first show, 2:12 in
My Morning Jacket - Lay Low (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_T34DaNc3I#)
It's pretty cool that a few of you have listed Lay Low as one of your goosebump moments.
I'd have to agree with you. When they played Lay Low at my first show in 2010 there was a point in that song where I thought I was dreaming. Jim and Carl and those dueling guitars. So much power coming off that stage...definitely took me to another place.
The coda of I Will Sing You Songs
(seems like these goosebump moments happen every time I listen to the boys :thumbsup:)

Holy crap Dylan! This is like Jacket Porn at it's best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have watched that bit over and over and over :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :bath: :bath: :bath:
Yeah! the end of IWSYS is musical heroin...i could listen to twenty more minutes of that outtro
Oh and I just listened to the second half of PWW - Red Rocks - and it got me again, powerful stuff, be careful...goosebumps can lead to tears
The entire second half of War Begun after "Somedaaaay!" I literally can't stop listening to the version from Red Rocks night 1. I haven't seen this song live yet so I'm really hoping to get it for NYE. I think I will lose my mind.

Are these the lyrics Jim is singing during the Red Rocks Phone Went West jam?

I believe it was "There'll be a knock on your back door"
I agree with several of the above mentioned, especially IWSYS.
One I'd like to ad, The Bear "Foreveeeeeeeeeeeeer."

All of I Will Be There When You Die. Just all of it.

YES
I am suprised(Maybe it just goes unmentioned because it is just understood) to see no one has mentioned the last "COME ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN" belt in Gideon... he hits notes that angels have never even witnessed....
Also, when the beginning chords of "Run Thru" breaks through the rare silence... I have always felt that their transitions between songs have made them so so even more unique but that silence before Run Thru is so perfect.....

And the way those opening notes hang in the air for what seems like a blissful eternity before the whole band thunders into the song.
Where To Begin...
Hahaha...Jacket Puns...
Jim during Storytellers Dondante...the explanation had me crying...but when he played the solo, Jesus...otherworldly.
ACL Outta My System...don't quote me, but I think it was the first time where the scream "OUTTA MY SYSTEM" happened. I fucking lose my shit EVERYTIME that happens.
Patrick playing drums at Soundcheck will ALWAYS give me chills...
Tom on Run Thru at ACL...I feel like that was the first time I really SAW Tom...
When they started turning Bo's piano up...in Europe last year...I remember listening to a show, maybe Trix, Antwerpen? where it was like everything changed, ad all
I could hear was what was in store.
And I'm not gonna lie, Carl has been the goosebumps master lately...since Red Rocks, it's like he's possessed!
But personally, at shows, Steam Engine always wins. Instantly. Especially the "moonlight" at Tuscaloosa.
Black Metal at Jools Holland
TMIGTS at ACL, in Amsterdam at the Paradiso, and Somerset.
Dondante at Shibuya, AX
All of Newport gave me a certain kind of chill
Isn't it a Pity at Forecastle...and Rocket Man with the Lantern
The Way That He Sings/Anytime in STL
Strangulation in Tulsa
Butch Cassidy at the Paradiso and Red Rocks
Highly Suspicious Red Rock
Librarian in Detroit
I'll think of more. Don't you worry none.
I can think of 2 times when I had serious OMFG goosebump moments....
1. Picture of You at T5....I like the song, but its far from my favorite...however at the point when Jim is just repeating, "you don't say I'll wait up," the venue was completely silent and they had the spotlights focused directly on Jim, and everyone in the venue was looking up at him and the sound was so beautiful....or maybe it was the confluence of all the substances that had been building in my body at that moment...but for me it was really magical.
2. Dondante at JFWPt2....."everything changes" Those words repeated after that awesome jam just blew my mind.
I'm sure there have been more, but those two really stand out for me.
I JuST WATCHED THaT "EvErYtHiNg ChAnGeS"...so rad
Picture of you is one of those songs I don't understand...what does it mean?

YES! That moment was amazing -- night one at T5 still stands as the ONLY concert I've ever been to where the quieter songs got COMPLETE silence. It was amazing and I can't wait to hear a recording of it. Also, is my memory hazy or did they go into a really hardcore heavy jam at the end of Picture of You at T5?
I get chills anytime Jim holds out the "Ohhhs" on Rollin Back, and live versions of War Begun.

If they did go into a hardcore jam I don't remember it...but then again...its all a bit hazy for me too :cheesy:
on MMJ Storytellers when they do Dondante after Jim gives the background on the song, his voice seems to quake or crack slightly from emotion. Gives me the chills just thinking about it.

Under the bridge is only one of the places that's happened.... :bath:
As soon as the lights go out and you hear the jazzed up intro music playing I get immediate goosebumps!
One not mentioned, three times I have seen "Carried Away" performed and Carl's guitar in the heavier parts makes me shiver!
CHIMMJFAN
a couple goosbump moments that spring to mind:
Nashville to Kentucky - Live from Las Vegas - secone verse "My Heart it draws the line"
Butch Cassidy - T5 "defeat just hanging around"
This is one...
My Morning Jacket - War Begun (Nashville 8/15/08) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4XMsUmOEVY#)
This one... 3:36 You had me worried....
MY MORNING JACKET : Dondante : LIVE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq7jT12kOWg#ws)
This one of course... The entire song... 6:36 that fact's my heart's still beatin...
Jim James - Steam Engine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSHM5FiOChY#)
Quote from: johnnYYac on Sep 16, 2012, 08:01 PM
My first show, 2:12 in
My Morning Jacket - Lay Low (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_T34DaNc3I#)
At the 2:12 point, every show I have seen, that is the highlight of the night. Only Skynyrd in the day matches the guitar play with keyboards and drums.
Of course, Van Zant wouldn't/couldn't pull off this look.
My Morning Jacket--Lay Low--Live at Austin City Limits 2007-09-16 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaewJoL-JwY#)
I don't think this one has been mentioned yet. The "I think my other would kill me" part of I Think I'm Going to Hell is a definite goosebump moment for me.
Hearing O is the One live would give me goose bumps.
The end of Wonderful ("I'm going where...")
The part in Smokin where Jim sings ("The river is long, it is cold. It chills the body but not the soul.")
The screaming guitar parts in Slow Slow Tune (My favorite song on Circuital)
Touch Me Pt. 1 ("I need a human right by my side untied")
All of Steam Engine as everyone has already mentioned, but especially "Take your money and your drugs" and on)
Live versions of Lowdown with the ridiculous guitar solo at the beginning
Live Phones
Live Dondantes
The dueling guitars at the end of Lay Low
The beginning of the Dark when Jim screams ("No one ever screams anymore!!") I find myself screaming along with him in my car loud enough sometimes that my throat kills me for awhile afterwards :tongue:
I believe I at least named one goose bump moment from each album, and that was by pure coincidence. Solid proof that the boys still got it!
Every time the line "There will be days of peace" in I Will Be There When You Die.
When Carl comes in with the pedal-steel in "Librarian".
The entire intro of "Off The Record" live right up to and including the main riff after that.
The beginning and the whole solo's extravaganza of "Run Thru" after the second chorus.
"Don't let your silly dreams fall in between" line in Bermuda Highway. Gets me everytime.
When Jim start singing the words of "Master Plan". Don't know why, that whole harmony of the lyrics with the music there gets me in hypnotic mood and right inside the song.
There are tons but most recently when he started playing Rocket Man at Forecastle. I'd been wanting to hear that live for so long.
Hopefully a la Acoustic Citsuoca - Jim's humming and deliberate slowing of the guitar on this version is so powerful and full of emotion - chills every time. :cheesy:
Everytime I hear the ACL version of War Begun, at the 2:50 mark, i get the goosebumps. His "Whoa Ya" just sounds so awesome. :shocked:
Every second of I Needed It Most
When Jim starts stroking his guitar neck on IWSYS. I feel dirty in a good way when I watch him do that. Even just listening, I know what he's doing.

Normally, when some guy is stroking the neck of his instrument, I'd turn away. However...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Especially the 'damn' part
"Ready when you" reminds me of Pink Floyd for some reason
Oh Shit Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!!!!! (Okonokos preferably)
One In The Same's long high note by James is #1.
All of Dondante.
By My Car has its fair share too.
