My Morning Jacket Tickets – Stomping Around Through Dates This Spring

Headlining the Sasquatch! Festival this May, My Morning Jacket might have to cut their show short, as they perform alongside Massive Attack, Pavement, Vampire Weekend, the National and others during the Memorial Day weekend festivities. The Kentucky natives are notorious for playing extensive concerts – breaking records at 2008′s Bonnaroo Festival for putting on a four-hour show – that has earned them an international reputation.

But for drummer Patrick Hallahan, who is often captured in a hailstorm of hair as he beats down on the set, he doesn’t understand how his fans can do it. “I can’t understand how people can stick around for a long show like that,” he said to Spinner Magazine. “That last tour that we did was just us on the bill so we could play as long or as short as we wanted to. Usually, it ended up pretty long, just out of sheer love for playing. That’s why we got started in this whole thing in the first place – it’s just so much fun to get up there and emote for three hours.” Can you stand a three-plus hour show?

Though they are headlining acts from way back, My Morning Jacket doesn’t mind when a stellar opportunity to open approaches them – which is what’s happening for three dates in support of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Though My Morning Jacket will probably have to cut their unusually long set short for the dates in August, it’s with extreme respect for veteran rocker Petty. The three dates are just a tasting of what’s already been showcased throughout the country, as the group rounds out their spring with dates alongside Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

The New Orleans jazz unit met My Morning Jacket’s frontman Jim James during a recording session last year in the Big Easy for the album Preservation: An Album to Benefit Preservation Hall & the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program. The February release featured two tracks that James collaborated on, which he commented in a press release: “When I got the invitation to go to the legendary Preservation Hall – where so much of the music we now know and love on this earth found its early roots – I did not waste a minute.”

Since its inception in 1998, the group hasn’t wasted much time on creating a sound unlike any other. Promoting their Louisville, Ky. based outfit with extended road trips and studio time (they signed to Darla Records in 1999) through the 2000s, the group opened for Guided by Voices, the Foo Fighters and others before the 2003 major label release It Still Moves.

But performing three-hour shows nightly was an acquired taste for not only fans but band members, and Johnny Quaid and Danny Cash couldn’t cut it, leaving the band in 2004. Bo Koster and Carl Broemel replaced the band members on keys and guitar, reuniting even stronger for 2005′s Z. The quintet continued the power with the live album Okonokos and Evil Urges, the latest studio set from 2008. Evil Urges is still being promoted two years after its release.
