Having seen My Morning Jacket twice in 2008, I hold no reservations in claiming they’re the best live band in the business these days. They gave another epic performance at Madison Square Garden in New York on New Year’s Eve, giving a big sloppy hello kiss to 2009. The performance is now available in full streaming audio thanks to the wonderful taper and our friends at the Live Music Archive. You can also download the entire show in MP3 format here.

This great sounding audience recording captures all your favorite MMJ jams and also includes covers of Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Charles Wright, Kool & The Gang, Sam Cooke, & James Brown. Already sold? I though so. That download link is right here.
