Hi, first off, I would like to say, I am new to My Morning Jacket. My first encounter with them was at the Pearl Jam concert on June 1. The last concert I had been to was Guns N' Roses, with Bullet For My Valentine opening, so I really wasn't expecting much from an opening band. But wow, I was blown away. My Morning Jacket is a solid band, and I am so glad I was at the concert early enough to hear them. Jim James has the voice of an angel, and the songs are amazing. I had never heard of these guys before, and now I'm shocked that I haven't. They're so good, and I can't understand why word of them had never reached me. This is a great band, and they left me extremely impressed the other night.

I'm definitly planning on gettin It Still Moves. Of what I've heard so far, it sounds amazing. And the GNR concert... wowwwww. The only way I can describe it is like a religious experience. It was the best concert I've ever seen (it was extremely intamite), and I've seen the Stones, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and others.
But back to My Morning Jacket... Wow, what a band. I'm so glad I've discovered them. They're the first new (to me) band that I've stumbled upon in a long time.
Prepare to fall in eternal love.

Right on, glad you had a great time at the Guns show, they sure can bring it live .. It's a spectacle really!
As for MMJ - they are my fav "new" discovery since 2004.. And I still haven't stopped listening to them consistently, they are so good. You should definitely go to archive.org and download some of their live shows!

I already sent 7 angry private messages to him ;)
Haha,
Primus Sucks!!!!
Didn't Claypool get tired of that catchphrase or something?
I saw those guys live back in 04 I think it was during the Tour de Fromage, they played Sailin' the Seas in its entirety. Amazing!
Primus fucking rocks. and as far as getting the MMJ shows from archive, look for the Toronto in 2004 show, at the Opera House. its fucking awesome.
