My Morning Jacket - Lay Low - Live okonokos

[ca17va08]

So fucking sick!

[youenjoy00myself]

This is my favorite video on youtube. It's like...an experience. It's amazing every time I watch it.

[sonofasaylor]

The crowd looks stunned...cant believe what they are hearing!

[Abasha2003]

I swear there's nothing cooler than when Jim points off stage at 2:51 and someone hands him is v guitar and he fucking SHREDS! 

[sonofasaylor]

Masterpiece !

[dyktg25]

i cant believe they use a drum loop



[youenjoy00myself]

@dyktg25 That's how it was done on the album. I think it sounds great even with the loop, and it's only during the verses anyway. Patrick is a great drummer technically, but what makes him a truly great drummer is that he can lay back and let the drum loop take over when it's appropriate to the song.

[TheApollorocker]

Indeedy , I was freaking the eff out !!!!

[HoboJones10]

i would have been totatly freaking the eff out

[TheApollorocker]

Saw them 2 days ago in Glasgow on 1st night of the tour. They are what a proper rock band should sound like ,they were awesome . When they played this ................... Absolutely tremendus live band !

[shitskadoodle]

4:58 air guitar, rockin out, feelin it.

[SimonGillis]

definitely dig the drum beat

[toyota4xfun]

PIPER!

[drum30344]

This should be required viewing before anyone signs a record contract....

[sonofasaylor]

didn.t understand a word , but them guitars sure are clear….

[MrThechonz]

lol 2 deaf ppl watched this...

[webbplayer]

goddamn thats one powerful motherfuckin song

[gee5551000]

One of the best live performances ever

[drum30344]

That was fucking awesome....

[ErectProficy]

Pause at 5:42 for God's perfect face.

[lionsbeardmane]

even if this was MMJ's only song they would still be my favorite band

[YouRaskalYou]

wow 2:45 wow

[AdogCOLOMBIANO]

3:25 and on might be my favorite moment of any song. ever. this is stairway level. gotta love em

[2janisse]

The keyboard player needs one of those strap-on keyboards so he can stand up and ROCK with the rest of these badasses at the end.

[mysun81]

Qqs

[tobyhel0]

Two people have no ears.

[JeenPhong33]

Transcendent and Allman Bros.-esque

[alcyonekris]

Jim has a unique vocal arsenal, but in this particular version of this record, I hear a slight Paul McCartney influence. Don't know if it's the inflections after every few lines or what. I hope I'm not alone on this, 'cause I'd feel like a complete fool. =P

[JR1840]

wow i'm so glad they're amazing live... can't wait to see them this summer

[leadfeet31]

cold chills @3:28 (and those don't come easy)! and I agreee w/ @NNIICKKK very reminiscent of some Thin Lizzy, also some Neil Young Live Rust.

[Dopeatron]

Best rock band of our generation

[alcyonekris]

@Dopeatron American rock band? Arguable. That other title belongs to Arcade Fire.

[powervoltage456]

@alcyonekris seen em both at bonnaroo MMJ put on a much better show imo

[alcyonekris]

@powervoltage456 You lucky bastard. The thing about MMJ is that their records don't do their live performances justice. Love them both tho.

[jalanmills]

the lead singer and his guitar are bad ass. i love how he grabs the guitar and rips it up. these guys are rockin on another planet here.

[AGBEBAKU]

i will get high wit this one soon

[AbstractProgKingKirk]

i found this band through austin city limits:) not american dad

[laidback93]

And... i need a cigarette. This is one of my favorite MMJ songs and this live version almost made my head explode!

[twobit689]

28, 202 people came in their pants to this video. Wait, wait . . . . 28, 203

[robpen954]

This song just gets me RIGHT THERE. I love how Jim and Carl's guitar solos lead into each other, intertwine and then flow back out into doing their own thing... MASTERFUL. Jim's hammering is SICK! One of the few bands left on my list to see live. I can't wait for the new record and tour.

[bistro2980]

@robpen954 Go see them live! It's awesome.

[passerby25]

@robpen954 Its like Eagles mating.

[FUCKINGNYORKER2009]

AMAZING



[zdrummaboy]

the 1 man who dislikes this video shall be raped by the devil

[prettypragmatist]

if the drummer were a muppet, he'd be Animal.

[maparr07]

@prettypragmatist no shit the muppet that plays the drums.

[MsSmokeybacon]

oh my god yaaah........get some.

[ludvik199t]

this is so epic that i just came!

[paulvq]

This song, live and in person, is fucking amazing.

[muzikmind77]

p.s. 5:05 MAJOR BREAKDOWN!

[muzikmind77]

[ecksploshun]

@muzikmind77 agreed. there is always one.....

[muzikmind77]

@ecksploshun big ole loser face

[JoaoPaivaCunha]

Simply Brilliant!!! I'm addicted to this song! Need to see them live!

[prettypragmatist]

ugggggghgh..mmj you conquer my ear canal

[GuajeSilva]

Hahaha Yim Yames FA, OMFG

[coltboyd]

damn this one is a verryy good one. keep rockin in the free world

[RandomUnsungHero]

From about 3:15 onward, best use of two guitars in unison I believe I've ever heard!

[NNICKKK]

@RandomUnsungHero

i agree. it is epic. but listen to Thin Lizzy first... :)

[tootermcgruder]

No shit, top five song all time in my book. Not your book, but my book. That guitar solo is fucking outrageous!

[tootermcgruder]

F%ck man, I've heard lots of great rock n roll songs. I heard this one several years back and there is not one week that goes buy when I'm not driving in my car and don't turn this song at least once. The part where where the kill the guitar solo/tandem is unreal. MMJ is a top 5 band in the world as we speak.

[macch530]

Absolute awesome rock song, perfection. Saw these guys this summer and they blew my mind. One of the best shows and band HANDS DOWN!

[baugustwest]

I was at this show and it was amazing. The encore must have been 4 or 5 songs long. I cried when Jim broke out Bermuda Highway. Life changing experience indeed.

[fs07]

Can't understand a word jimmy's singin......and I wouldnt have it any other way

[MeowMixKittyKat]

2:50 onward is a sexual experience

[arx320skater]

just one word.....ilovethissongandthisb­andisamazingholycraptheyaresog­oodicantstoplisteningtothisson­g

[mulhernr]

One of the best anthems ever!Period!Play on forever!

[golperuano]

I could care less about the lyrics but this is some of the most incredible rock and roll I've ever heard and I've heard it all. I'm amazed at how super sonic this sound is.

[jh69052]

this song is so dirty it kind of makes me feel uncomfortable

[Selfimposed25]

Son muy buenos

[pulptom]

3:00-3:07 awesome!!

[thegetupkid69]

The best six minutes of my entire life.

[foolbegone]

As a kid I listened to Top 40, and it was just background noise.

If I'd heard MMJ from the beginning, I would've been a musician.

[yeahyeahyaha2]

@foolbegone i don't know u're age mate, but i doubt u can't be one now

[CSISA]

Just fucking blast this, wherever you are, right now, you fucking deserve this. You have found the holy grail of music. Lay Low, by My Morning Jacket on Youtube, so just crank up those shitty laptop speakers, your headphones that only work in one ear, or your 7.1 surround system and fucking ROCK OUT. This is as good as rock music gets. ROCK ON.

[MasterChiefR75]

@CSISA If you think this is the best, then you havent heard one big holiday. but this ranks pretty damn close

[MasterChiefR75]

@MasterChiefR75 i have recently changed my mind anyways.

[TheBlackCrayon77]

Definitely one the golden bands of our time. Everything from the guitar tones, dynamics, chord structures, vocals, lyrics, band interaction, and show as a whole makes this a top notch rock band.

[gregadonis]

One if the best live songs by a band ever.

[TylerGallion]

Emm, sweet, sweet tones of that guitar work :)

[iamine2]

damnit if this is not one of my favorite sexiest songs of all time!! Please bury me with the Live from Okonokos set! Please blast it at the funeral and know that It gave my life many moments of it's greatest satisfaction!!

[grsurflove]

This song is so sick...it reminds me of The Allman Brothers mixed with the Chili Peppers or something, really old school and modern and just fucking awesome.

[joshua42285]

that guitar riff fucks me in the ear

[inkubus922]

@joshua42285 drip drip drop there goes an eargasm

[gee5551000]

@joshua42285

One of the best riffs

[msteinkohl]

How come most of the people in the front row are such stiffs?

[wholewheatbagel]

ii know  would be losin mah head.

[waterthrustone]

Check out Dondante, another masterpiece from Okonokos

[ludvik199t]

sooooo good woow!

[zsparker]

Best Band in the World!

[I4m410v3dru9]

i want to marry you yim yames

[wholewheatbagel]

[Bonzoandthemadhatter]

hahaha john bonham.

[CSISA]

I had this same reaction when I left a MoF concert. "There is a God, and his name is Jim James"

[weeeeeeeeedizphun]

@wholewheatbagel i agree. you are wise. and i must be as well if i agree. go go evo go go evo go go go go go go go evolution

[msteinkohl]
