Unfortunately, I’m not as an eloquent writer as I should be when I try to express what listening to MMJ at just the right times is like. I’ve seen them live a few times, but only in festival settings. I want this band in my backyard doing a 3 hour set like they this past year at Bonnaroo or most recently at Madison Square Garden on New Year Eve.
You can download the entire show, all 36 Songs(!), here.
Check out this clip from right after the midnight celebration. Both are Kool and the Gang covers appropriate to the event, but don’t convey their total awesomeness. Buy their CDs!
