Bonnaroo Classics: My Morning Jacket - One Big Holiday

My Morning Jacket's classic performance of "One Big Holiday" from Bonnaroo 2004.

[@crazyjoker11291]

This is straight up one of the most rocking songs ever

[@kooneya]

Always put a smile on my face.

[@chrismathewsjr]

yea it fuckin whips

[@rossheathorn121]

Even when I'm dying I be thinking of this one big fucking holiday hay hay x

[@john-e-be]

Absotively. When I bought my copy of Okonokos back in 2007, it's the exact words I used as I played each track, leading up to this. As if it were "One Big Crescendo"... And all these years later..."It Still Moves" me.

[@bamadave83]

I’ve always said the exact same thing

[@ChipEdwards82]

Each time I hear the intro to this song a small part of me wants to quit my office job, lose 40 lbs, and learn how to cage fight. After a few minutes the dream fades and get back to work.

sunday afternoon. at the which stage. i posted up to see mm&w. my friend justin left me half way through to see david byrne. i thought at the time i should of went with him, being a big talking heads fan. mm&w wrapped up and i was going to make my way out. someone in the crowd noticed me leaving and prompted me to stay put, "the next band, my morning jacket is incredible". thank god i took that mans advice. this performance blew my mind and in the moment of this song i was brought to awe. thank you for posting this.

[@MercediSurface]

I got roped into seeing David Byrne instead too...big regrets for not staying for this

[@j-thomp8135]

My morning jacket played on Saturday, Byrne was on Sunday. I was able to watch both.

[@matthewfim]

this was one of my favorite shows along with the MMW set. they were different days and it started down pouring for each one. MMW I remember really played to the intensity of the approaching colossal rain storm clouds.

Incredible right??? Raw and live but crisp and catching all the dirty nuances.

[@tori_loves_god]

Absolutely. This dude still sounds good live

[@mikemondo639]

I was just thinking the same thing, amazing sound on this

[@dcroxby]

As far as I'm concerned My Morning Jacket are amongst the best bands to take a stage. Real musicians making music of real quality. They make me happy.

i am a child of the 60s, and i will tell you that song kicks ass! there was some magic at that festival no doubt

[@sevinstorey4365]

I was there. Magic is exactly what those whole 3 days were to me, what I remember anyway. I was at this show and I have it posted on my KZbin channel to forever remind me how lucky I once was as a young man in 2004. The biggest, the best Bonnaroo ever. On record.

[@fhqwgads5000]

It was seeing this video that brought me back to what was important. I saw Jim James with his hair and that flying V. I thought, "No one's ever fucking telling me to cut my hair again." Life's too short, guys.

[@Cheik_h]

Yes !!!!!

[@trippinbill34]

I remember this moment like it was yesterday. Bonnaroo is a long musical weekend and it had rained, it was hot as hell, and me and my friends were all sunburnt and exhausted by the time MMJ got on to perform. We had heard a few songs from At Dawn, but were just going to see them because Modest Mouse was playing after and one of my acquaintances at the time (now he's my life long bud) absolutely loved this band. We are all sitting on the ground, tired and ready to go home - and when MMJ came on stage, none of us stood up. We just sat there, being beat down by the weekend. Then... all of a sudden... the drums... the bass... and right when the guitar came in, I looked down and I was standing... I don't even remember doing it. I look to my left and then to my right, and all my friends were on their feet - magically summoned by the power of MMJ. This is still one of my best concert memories, ever. They f'n rocked it and I've been a die-hard MMJ fan for life since that iconic moment. *sigh* Bonnaroo used to be great. Oh, and for the record... Modest Mouse f'n sucked.

[@Tydo35]

Vintage My Morning Jacket they have a huge following they don't want anything to do with mainstream makes me like them more but you are right people are missing out,

[@RefinedQualia]

I had heard of mmj along before this show but this video is what drew me to the point of obsession. My favorite rock band of all time.

Every time the vocals kick in I well up with tears a little bit. This song just does somethin to me.

[@JWiizy]

I saw them the previous year in 2003 when they opened for Pete Yorn, and Foo Fighters. They blew the roof off the place and the whole crowd was just standing their motionless and unimpressed. Fast forward to 2008 and they are closing Bonnaroo playing a 4 hour set. Its sad that the majority of people only respond positively to things that are already known or familiar. Whenever I see a new band I always try to give them the best attention. You never know how awesome they will be in 5 years.

[@Ask-a-Rocket-Scientist]

M favorite part of Bonnaroo is finding new bands.

[@ClintAlspaugh-l2z]

I seen them on that tour with the foos in Dayton. It was amazing.

[@arkyaker2036]

This song is so badass! It should be so much more popular than it is now and I don't know why it isn't

[@PoneytheBand]

I was at this set! Stage right, just a few rows back. When the storm blew in, the whole stage shook, and the band's hair was flying everywhere, and they barely acknowledged it! Just kept playing...it was like they were summoning the thunder. Amazing.

[@theoneandonlyravioli2985]

That sounds absolutely incredible. The sets of multiple different bands I've seen when the sky falls out and nobody leaves. Just all getting drenched are by far the most memorable. I can only imagine how it was during this show.

[@michaelwoon5242]

I was at a Petty and the Heartbreakers show in Indy in 2005. Same thing. Thunderstorms circling all around their set but they kept playing even when the stage lights went out. The sound system was still powered.

[@JasonSchroederSconnie]

It was one of my all time very best concert experiences. "You're a very brave and a very beautiful gang, and I salute you" I'll never forget that moment! Pure joy.

[@sevinstorey4365]

I was there!!! "BONNAROOOOOOO!!!!!!

[@crailberry]

There's something about this song. No matter how many times I hear it, no matter what the setting is, I almost get teary eyed from the force this song is played with, and get an amazing rush of euphoria and just a rad sense of well-being. MMJ fo'life yo.

[@OTBOPU11]

I was there on the right side of the stage standing next to the KOL boys who were losing their minds like everybody else. Good times...

[@mattybrunken]

So that explains why Bob Dylan chose these "noise makers" to go on tour with him. This is one of the few bands these days making real rock and roll music. The time has not passed sir.

The sky was angry that day, but it was the only thing that could stop the place from self combustion. I don't think I'll ever see anything musically in a live setting like it again. Or maybe I will, that's why live music is so live............

[@caitlinsloan2873]

Steve willow you were there to witness the beauty??

[@stevew2396]

I was. And we all got a shower courtesy of Mother Nature as MMJ played on.....till it was too dangerous to be on a stage with that amount of electricity, which was miniscule to the amount of electricity the sky was playing with. That was a good day.

[@caitlinsloan2873]

That's pretty cool man, a great account too. Can really picture it :)

[@erikbaxstrom551]

Haha. That place was definitely ready to explode. Some brewery was giving away free beer at the stage. It's safe to say that was the last year they allowed that. What an amazing show...

[@DetestProtest]

I was joking, because on the screen it spells "Bonnar", and then uses a sort of loused up looking trinity symbol to represent the two Os which would ordinarily proceed in a regular font with a more formal spelling of the name. I'm sorry, is that how you use two Os in conjoint? I can't really find it, but I.E., would you write"Hm. I do believe I'll be a p∞p face today"?

[@MrSekolby]

This band needs a DVD for every live performance, its too much to handle
