What a New Year! My Morning Jacket at Madison Square Garden

An awful lot of people consider My Morning Jacket to be the best live band on the planet. They spent this New Year evening at Madison Square Garden (in New York, if you were in doubt). And what a party it was!! And you can listen to the entire spectacle right here! (If the player doesn't show, try this).

My Morning Jacket provides an extensive 2-set show, including some unusual and very well-chosen covers of Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield etc. But most of all it is the explosive versions of their own songs that really kicks. The Jackets cancelled a show here in Copenhagen last fall to much frustration among the Indie Laundry crew. I would suggest that their New Year resolution would be to reschedule a new date a.s.a.p. What about Roskilde Festival, eh? MMJ would suit the orange main stage perfectly.
