We briefly mentioned My Morning Jacket’s “Circuital” in the gallery for their L.A. show. Now you can see them doing the new song at their San Diego show. It’s surprisingly clear for live audience-shot video:

Earlier we brought you live audio of another new MMJ track,“Friends Again,” from their tour with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Louisville…home of the Kentucky Derby, Cassius Clay and My Morning Jacket. All three have something in common: they are the greatest. Wait, what?

please god just let the new album be better than Evil Urges.
I liked Evil Urges, Brad Pittface. They needed to step away from all the horsesh*t jam bands. This clip seems like they’re going back to it. Goodbye career.
I was also a big Evil Urges fan. But I gotta say I’ve never agreed with My Morning Jacket being lumped in with jam bands. Southern Rock, maybe, but they are definitely not in the same genre as Phish or Umphrey’s McGee.
I would agree with you cbishop. If anything, their earlier stuff was more reminiscent of Country. I guess we can argue that all we want, but when it comes down to it, they are now a Jam Band. I have been to MMJ shows for years, and this tour definitely has a new crowd.
Hell, I saw them in 2007 and it was mostly indie rock kids. This summer I might as well have been at a frat party. The parking lot was even like a Phish show.
I still like them, I don’t really care. It is just interesting.
On a completely unrelated note: This discussion is a good reason why I would never get a band tattoo. You just never know what will happen. I remember when a punk girl in my high school got a Cranberries tattoo (when they were still an underground Limerick band). I guess this was early nineties. By the time we had graduated they were considered adult contemporary/easy listening.
Agreed that the fan base has changed, but does that really make them a jam band? They don’t really have any control of who comes to their shows. They do play a lot of covers and improvise a bit, but I still wouldn’t call them a jam band. I guess it all comes down to how you define the jam genre. When I think of jam bands I think of a bunch of needless guitar noodling with weak original material and an overall lack of structure. I do agree that bands are now largely defined by their audience, which I think is a little unfair to their music.
