At Dawn

My Morning Jacket’s Terminal 5 run continued with a complete performance of 2001’s At Dawn last night. The band ran through the entire album in sequential order, including the rarely—if ever—played “If it Smashes Down.” Many of My Morning Jacket’s early songs faded out of rotation after the group’s December 2006 shows at San Francisco’s Fillmore so “Death Is My Sleezy Pay” (last played 2005), “Hopefully”(last played during a full band performance), X-Mas Curtain (last played 2006), “Just Because I Do” (last played 2004) and “Strangulation!” (last played 2005) were also bustouts.

Like Monday night’s performance, the members of My Morning Jacket returned for an extended encore that featured covers and B-sides the band played during the At Dawn era. The band’s covers ranged from the moody Danzig song “How The Gods Kill” to an extended jam during Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath.” In addition, the group segued from The Rolling Stones’ “Miss You” into an extended version of the Chocolate and Ice EP gem “Cobra” (which spiraled toward the 20-minute mark like on album). Former My Morning Jacket guitarist Johnny Quaid also emerged for a few songs, including “Phone Went West” and “Black Sabbath.”
