Hi, I've just ordered my first three albums at the suggestion of someone on another board. I'm a long time Black Crowes fan, and am looking forward to hearing My Morning Jacket for the first time.
In the Crowes 'community' we trade live shows extensively because they welcome recording of the shows. What is MMJ's policy on taping and trading, and is there anyone who'd like to initiate me further into the MMJ world by trading? I have a good selection of Crowes, Zeppelin, Stones, masses of Bob Dylan, some interesting Neil Young, and a host of others. If anyone fancies a gander at my trade list let me know.
Hope to hear from someone, and hope to stick around. Cheers.
Welcome! Most of the MMJ shows are posted on archive.org. The Louisville show from 11-23-05 is a soundboard recording and the June '06 Bonnaroo show is one of the greatest concerts of all time and clocks in at 3 hrs + with many covers. That would be a good place to start. Here is a link:

Also, forgot to mention that I'm a big Crowes fan also. Was sad to hear about Marc Ford, I never did see them in concert with Marc, both times it was with Audley. I still need to pick up the Lost Crowes.
I got the Lost Crowes and it's great. I actually like the band sessions better because there seems to be more "new" material on it. Plus I love the song Another Roadside Tragedy. I am so happy to get a studio copy of this song.
Anyway, I have been looking for a crowes show that has Fearless by Pink Floyd on it. It's one of my alltime favorite songs and the Crowes did it on 5 occasions in 2005 and once in 2006. Do you happen to have this song on anything? I will trade you some MMJ for it if you do. (I'll help you out either way actually) Just PM me.
Hey Bermuda, I have a fantastic version of Fearless on one of the the March shows they did in London, I remember when they started playing it I was totally blown away. They beef up the riff that works beautifully. It's three disc SBD recording, uttlerly flawless and the band at their best. Would love to trade.
The Lost Crowes is well worth picking up, some remarkable versions of familiar favourites, although there are still a lot of officially unreleased songs from that time that have seeped out on various bootlegs.
Thanks for the heads up on where to look here.
welcome to the board and to the Jacket!! you will really get into them i think!
if you need any shows let me know!
Hey English,
Welcome to the jacket, come on in the waters fine!
I too am a huge black crowes fan and have seen them 5times with marc ford for most of them. Southern company is my fav. I have been a huge jacket fan since I discovered them 2 1/2 years ago. I have all their albums and at least six live/bootleg recordings that are great. Got all of them form downloads for purchase, archive.org or other sites for free. Search this board for links they are usually spot on.
I hope you get to see these guys live cause they are exceptional. Idon't know which albums you have but for live shows bonaroo '04 is classic with steam engine and cobra you can't go wrong. High sierra musical festival '06 saturday night is the band in top form. Okononokos is great but Jim's voice is clearly impaired by his respiratory problem. I was there for both nights at the fillmore and he definately had the sniffles. check them out on austin city limits if they show it again and the DVD from bonaroo '04that shows One big holliday is worth the rental from netflicks.
You can't go wrong with this band. THey will not dissapoint you live.
Hey English,
This show is must have IMO:

Welcome aboard :)
Thanks for the warm welcome.
Sadly I'm in the mountains, so we don't get broadband, still using dial up out here, but thanks for the link anyway.
I shall keep in mind the issues to do with his cold when I hear the live album, but hopefully the others will give me a true sense of his and the band's sound. I'm genuinely excited about hearing this music, I've heard nothing but positive feeling about them from people I trust.
Even with dialup, you'll be able to download from Archive.org, as most of the shows are offered up split into small MP3 tracks. It may take 5-10 minutes per song, but if you can occupy yourself while the download is in process - it works out just fine.
I'll get on that when there's a computer free at work - thanks for the info.
