Saw My Morning Jacket a few nights ago

Yeah, that's the thing.. MMJ sound great live. OTOH, their recordings, while they have their moments, are not anywhere near the live experience.

Any opinions on the quality of their live album Okonos? Though I have not heard their latest studio album, IMO "Its Still Lives" is great & has a pleasing trippy psychelia missing from their subsequent work.

"Okonokos" exemplifies the MMJ live experience. You should definitely give it a listen.

I've seen them twice and enjoyed both shows immensely. I think Jim James' voice was giving him problems the night they recorded Okonokos, although I still love it. Their releases since "It Still Moves" have been different, but again, I find them worth listening to. Little pointer, if you haven't heard the "At Dawn" album, find a way to download "The Way that He Sings," it's probably my favorite song by them.

I believe they're on Austin City Limits thie weekend.
