On Saturday night we saw My Morning Jacket at Orlando’s House of Blues. I totally lost our tickets, which were mailed to me about a month ago, but I called Ticketmaster and they kindly replaced them – free of charge.
But, before I comment on the show, I want to comment on the House of Blues’ “No Cameras” policy. On one hand, it makes me mad. What’s an event if I can’t take pictures!?? Do you know how many digital cameras were left home that night – sitting on the dresser, sad, wondering why they weren’t allowed to go out on this particular Saturday night. On the other hand, it was quite nice to watch a show/concert without a million hands up in the air holding a camera and paparazzi flashing going on.
And, now back to the good stuff – My Morning Jacket rocked! Jim James, lead vocals, was amazing. I read numerous reviews of past concerts, all praising his talents, and now I know it’s true. His voice is…hypnotic. Soulful and rocker at the same time; a storyteller and a singer at once. The entire band sounded incredible, and they played a lot of my favorite songs! Some highlights: Off The Record, Librarian, Wordless Chorus (hearing the crowd sing along to the chorus was great!), Highly Suspicious, and Touch Me I’m Going To Scream.
Oh, so glorious! If only I had some pictures to share….

I don’t get that policy either. At Madonna’s concert it was even worse. Camera’s were allowed but people in the front row were blocked and told off if they used it to film stuff. Very odd.
