Review of My Morning Jacket: Okonokos

Saw it for the first time in 2010 when I was 49. Grew up with the classics, Neil, Floyd, Zep, Bowie, Heads, etc. Bought it used on the cheap out of curiosity. I was STUNNED!!. I thought by their name they would be some Emo band with whiney vocals. Nope. They are all the best of classic 60's through 80's rock blended into something original that rivals, if not exceeds, all my childhood heroes. After 2 watches they leapfrogged almost every artist in my extensive record/CD/Mp3 collection that I started in 1973. I would not say they have eclipsed The Who in my mind, but they are next in line. As the other reviews state, this is a near perfect video concert, that is so accessible on first listen. They are clearly top notch musicians, but not show offs. I have seen them live many times, and they sound just like they do in this video, so the immaculate sound is not something fixed post production. They sound pristine and you can always delineate the sounds coming from each of the 5 band members in an ultra clear manner. Do yourself a favor. Buy this DVD without hesitation, but only if you like great Rock Music.
