On the 18th of October My Morning Jacket opened its five-show run at New York’s Terminal 5 with a complete rendition of 1999 debut album The Tennessee Fire.
The band played each of the album’s tracks in sequential order, including songs that the band had never performed live like If All Else Fails.
Former guitarist Johnny Quaid, who left the band in 2004, also sat in for a few of the songs and Jim James alternately described the show as a "a psychedelic experience," "surreal" and "a reflecting pool".
The group returned for a seven-song encore that featured several covers and b-sides James and company recorded for its various EPs around the time of The Tennessee Fire. The mini-set opened with I Just Wanted To Say from the group’s holiday EP Does Christmas Fiasco Style and included covers of Elton John’s Rocket Man, Erykah Badu’s Tyrone , The Great Society’s White Rabbits and Rod Stewart’s Hot Legs.
