I was dying to shoot his show, seeing as I hadn’t seen My Morning Jacket since 2009 and hadn’t shot them since 2007. The band’s new album, Circuital, didn’t wow me, but I knew their legendary live show would not disappoint.

Lighting-wise, this wasn’t the best show to cover, but man, the band (Jim James in particular) were on fire during the first three songs. So. many. hairshots. The top shot here might be my favorite photo of mine all year.

This was without a doubt one of the best shows I’ve seen this year. The weather was perfect, as was the band’s 24 song, almost three hour long set. Can’t wait to see them do it again.
