Five years ago, on December 14, 2011, My Morning Jacket performed to a sold-out Madison Square Garden. Their sprawling 24-song, two-and-a-half hour set was a landmark night in the band’s history.
The night saw special guests make appearances as well, with Ben Bridwell from the opening band, Band of Horses, coming out for “Wonderful” and flutist Brian Jackson and the Dearland Horns coming out for “The Bottle.” To bring symmetry to the evening, which kicked off with a performance by Band of Horses and to give nod to the holiday season, the epic show ended with Band of Horses and My Morning Jacket closing out the evening with Bing Crosby’s “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.”
