I remember watching this when it aired with my mom. I was 17, and we had just received the news that a classmate of mine named John Christensen died after crashing his car. This performance had a huge impact on me back then, and it's amazing how vividly I remember that night when I listen to it. Such a good song, such a unique crossover... This was really a special moment in music.
So, I saw Jim at a charity show in NYC performing this song and others solo in 2007, with just a guitar and some sort of sampler or rhythm box. I had never heard My Morning Jacket before. His set was early in the show, and he blew every other performer out of the water. I actually cried. One of those shows I will never forget.
Back in 2001 I went to a Doves concert in Boston and some unknown group from Kentucky named My Morning Jacket opened up for them and absolutely stole the show. Been hooked ever since.
Saw My Morning Jacket at Bricks club in SLC around '04. Concert of my life, seriously. Mesmerizing and mind-blowing. I talked to Jim James afterward and asked if I could join the band. He was such an earnest guy. He was like, "well we just got a new guitar player..." I laughed and explained that I was joking, but that I was honestly moved by the show. I wish I'd bought the band beers afterwords. I cherish the memory. This performance really takes me back.
Heard another song by My Morning Jacket on the radio in the early 00’s but never heard this album until a few years ago. Beautiful and this collaboration was wonderful too
One of the best live bands alive. If you don't see these guys whilst you're walking the planet then you have quite simply committed a crime against humanity.
I live in central Illinois and everyone I know hates this band except for me and my cousin I've been a fan for a long time and finally got to see them perform live with trampled by turtles in Somerset Wisconsin if I die I hope I can still listen to my morning jacket in heaven :)
Epic Version of this Song.. very Great Band they mix up U2, Cold Play a bit of Radio Head and a lot of their talent.. this is one of the best band of the last years.. respect for them cause they make vibrate all my muscle. Great Great Great
Should have over 100+ million views.

No fucking kidding. These guys are unreal!

I’m sorry for your loss but also really love how music has such a profound impact on our memories.
This was played the same day I was born
Same
one of my all time favorite live performances
The conductor's face, "HELL YEAH!"
Hahahahah

Rock n Roll is truly not dead...this is the proof!! What a Great Band
I've returned to this video over and over for years and I'm just now realizing that this show was on my birthday. That's fun

The entire song builds until the very last phrase. Amazing level of driving emotion
I was so deliriously happy when at the time when they did this
2:42 gives me chills.. every time.
Gooseflesh. That's all I have to say. I get gooseflesh everytime they play.
anyone else thinks this sounds a bit like The Who? Love it!
Yeah. Totally the way this song builds and eventually explodes similar to Baba o Reilly from Who’s next

Anyone catch the look of pure joy on the conductor's face at 3:21? That shit is just awesome.

I hear this and get the chills - love these guys. This song reminds me of a newer (well, 10+ years) "Powderfinger" by Neil. All good.
Never ever heard them live..this is completely awesome..amazing performance!
There's something about a rock band rocking out a great song with an orchestra. Beautiful performance.
ive listen to this about ten times today
their sound is big and beautiful..one of the best live bands on the planet
🎯

Maybe it's the pandemic but I got choked up.
Weird Al on the drums everybody!
Is there no limit to the depths of this man's talent?
wow. i missed this back then. they are so good.

Nice they had the class to dress up with the orchestra.
That night they wore Their Evening Jackets
From 2;42 the intensity kicks in and it's goose bumps time. Great song.
THIS IS SOOO GOOD
Now that is an amazing blend of music. Floored.
Wow - what a voice!
Holy Mother of God, that was epic!
goosebumbs...my only response to the brilliance of Jim James, this man has made rock music important again
Best Necrocore Death Metal Speed Hop band ever!!!!
One of the best live bands alive.

I get the chills every time I see this one.
And Letterman's stage was never the same again...
Absolutely brilliant
Omg....cant wait to play with them
I got goosebumps right when he starting putting all that emotion in it...and they were still there till the very end of the song. I'm Amazed...lol

Yim Yames fucking BELTS during this song. Studio version has been a fav of mine for quite some time but this, this is fucking incredible. Wow
This is truly... amazing!
definately one of the best performances and combinations ever
The unusual instrument at the beginning is called a waterphone. It has its own website at waterphone com.
Holy moly that was awesome
These fellas are amazing!!
First saw/heard of these guys back in 2000, they opened up for "The Doves" in Boston....MMJ stole the show, it's been pure musical bliss ever since.
God I love this band so much.
WOW! That is some band.

The unusual intrument played with the bow at the beginning is a waterphone, a modern invention by the way.

This band is amazing
How the fuck is My Morning Jacket not immensly popular?
jim james pierces my soul.
The whole reason I searched it up was because this was the year date and month I was born 😪
This is a great accomplishment.
anyone that can rock that hard in a tux gets my vote, rock on boys!
Jim James' vocals gives me chills (see what I did there?). It's like a choir of angels and this... his religious cry. Behold!
god I Love that scream everytime!
I can only hope Dave appreciated this moment.
My junk bleeds from excessive stroking every time I watch this.
yeah!!! hasta de smokin... q buen arreglo... de la rola claro!
delightful - !!!
Another rock auteur in the tradition of Billy Corgan.
amazing music for when your high
Mind blown
awesome
Brian wilson played a theramin. Good vibrations was the first time it appeared in recorded pop music.
"Weird" Al Yankovic on drums and Capt. Jack Harnkess conducting...Awesome!!
cause it's timeless
Chills begin @:57...
i love you my morning jacket
from: mexico- neza yorck city
Awesome
Truly we have become hated & feared for something we don't want.
American Dad, that's where I heard these guys from (:
LOVELY!(:
i can't decide if the influence was Brian Wilson or U2. pretty awesome result, either way.
i love you jim james
One of the best anti war songs eva
