why have i waited so long to check out My Morning Jacket? They are an amazing live act. Would never have expected that kind of energy from Jim James. Wilco, this is my second straight year seeing them. I am trying to warm up to them, I know I am late to the game. They started kind of slowly but they progressed as the evening went on and it was a very very very good set. Bob Dylan was third up and I was really looking forward to seeing him for the first time. His voice was horrible, he was very froggy and it was almost unlistenable. I know people will joke that that is Dylan at his best, but his voice was just shot, i was very disappointed. Ryan Bingham opened the show, but thanks to 8" of rain falling on Philly/Camden in a couple hours, I missed him.
It was a culmination of a great weekend of music highlighted by sets by Trampled by Turtles, John Butler Trio, Dr. John, Last Bison, Kopecky Family Band, Phosphorescent, Lord Huron & Justin Townes Earle to name a few. I just love live music and I got my fill this weekend.
