My Morning Jacket & Gary Clark Jr @ Forest Hills Stadium (pics, setlist, video)
The appealing double bill of My Morning Jacket and Gary Clark Jr. made for a great evening at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium on Saturday (7/15). Pictures from the show are in the gallery above.
Gary Clark Jr.’s confident swagger and adept musicianship make him an exciting live act, and you can catch him again in NYC at Afropunk Fest and NJ’s Stone Pony Summerstage (with Michael Kiwanuka) in August, and at Madison Square Garden in September as part of Eric Clapton’s tour (that also includes Jimmie Vaughan).
The highlight of MMJ’s stunning 22-song set was a 10-minute rendition (complete with mirrorball illumination) of “Phone Went West” off 2001’s At Dawn, right before the encore. Hopes of a Gary Clark Jr/MMJ onstage collaboration never materialized, but Clark could be seen hanging out side-stage for most of the show. My Morning Jacket’s setlist, plus a couple videos from the show and remaining tour dates, are below.
