My Morning Jacket – Okonokos (DVD)

Official rating: 80 + 7 killer bear points = 87

How can you not dig My Morning Jacket live? After rocking my world for about the 7th time with the Pops and hanging with them at Bukowski, I’ve been jonesin’ to see ‘em ever since. Thankfully, I’ve already got my tickets to see them on December 2nd, so I won’t have to scratch my arms much longer.

In the meantime, I got to see their new Okonokos movie in the theater, which despite its lo-def tendencies, kicked butt, and seeing anything musical in a theater is eggcellent. While I was PO’d that they didn’t include “O…” in the DVD, they still put together a hell of a setlist, which was filmed over two nights at the crazy-awesome Fillmore in San Fran. The place looked like some weird garden.

I won’t say too much about the movie other than the use of animals are excellent, the sound is great, and it’s an obvious must-have for any Jacket fan.

But the most awesome part has to be the last, when the main character leaves the concert and gets to’ up by a bear. I won’t spoil it too much, but that critter easily makes it atop my list of musical bears.

    MMJ at Bukowski’s? Hammond at Bukowski’s? Who’s your g-friend?

    My story is not as interesting. The NH contact is the keyboard player from The Hold Steady’s father. He crashed on our floor last night. Real chill guy. Kind of an ex-hippie type guy.
