Metro Chicago

Sprouted from the fertile musical soil of Louisville, Kentucky, My Morning Jacket began carving their reputation as indie’s southern sons with the trippy Skynyrd hybrid rock of 1999’s The Tennessee Fire. After mastering the delicate balance between emo-rock sentiments, neo-beat hipster self-loathing, and urban psychedelia, it was time for MMJ to bring their time-warp masterpieces to the Metro stage on September 25, 2003. Drawing a majority of their set from acclaimed third album and major label debut It Still Moves (which houses one of Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitar Songs “Run Thru”) MMJ soldiered through an impressive set as a well-oiled crowd-pleasing machine.  But don’t take our word for it, listen for yourself and stream the entire set below via archive.org.
