Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators at the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:

1. Weightlifting commentator: “This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.”

2. Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”
3. Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”
4. Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries,and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”
 5. Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”
 6. Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”
 7. At the rowing medal ceremony: “Ah, isn’t that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.”
 8. Soccer commentator: “Julian Dicks is everywhere. It’s like they’ve got eleven Dicks on the field.”

 9. Tennis commentator: “One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them… Oh my God, what have I just said?”

Well I thought about just putting the set list here and not making any comments. I think anyone familiar with the band who sees this setlist can imagine what kind of night it was. This was my third time seeing the jacket and i have gotten on the pew since the first time and preached about the awesomeness of My Morning Jacket in a live setting. Lets just say I talked them up pretty good and I feel last night they exceeded even my lofty expectations for the evening. By far the best concert of theirs i have seen and one of the best i’ve seen in a while.

Thanks to Stryker Murdock we were sitting on about the 17th row in one of Atlanta’s best Venues the Fabulous. Just so you all know according to Jim James singer of MMJ it no longer needs the fox because Fabulous is the best and only description necessary.  We were just to the right of Jim James’s starting position. I saw it that way because he was all over the place. These guys bring energy and excitement to the stage like you are on a non stop roller coaster at  six flags. Starting off with Anytime was great for me because it is a nice little jamming song. Other highlights of the show being the incredible jam of LayLow. Jim and the other guitarist (sorry for not knowing your name man) played off each other very well and i thought it was one of the more exciting moments of the night. They closed the first set with a great 4some of Dodante, Smokin From Shootin (my fav from the new album), Touch Me Part 2, and a very rockin Run Thru. This stretch was probably my favorite part of the night. Even the two girls who decided to show up two hours into the show during the middle of Dodante, cause Murdock’s beer to be spilled, and proceed to talk through the quiet moments of Smokin From Shootin could not ruin that stretch. A big fuck you to both of you if somehow you stumble upon this on the interweb.  The end jam of Run thru was epic and the place really got going. Everyone was into it.

The band took a quick break came back out for the encore. They had already played a little over two hours of music. Highly Suspicious was the jam you could tell the crowd was waiting for. The bass came on very strong for this song espcially in the begining and the crowd really got into it. They slowed things down a little bit with The Bear and actually had a guy in a bear costume come on stage for the song, but nothing could beat the closing one two punch of Magheetah and One Big Holiday. If you have ever heard Okonosos and they way they jam Magheetah as their final song there they gave it the same type of intensity, but instead of the night being over they came right at us with that wonderful little guitar intro to One Big Holiday and the everyone knew what was coming and the only adjative that does it justice is the Fabulous went Apeshit. I’ve seen them play One Big Holiday every time but before it was usually used early in the show to get the crowd going. Ending the night like that was majestic and impressive.

Please do yourself a favor and GO SEE THIS BAND! They are in my top 5 live bands i’ve ever seen. You have heard the albums and go okay they are a cool little band, but until you experience the Jacket live i don’t think you know how good these guys are.

Needless to say i’m looking forward to their return to the ATL! Two Hours and Forty Five Minutes of the Jacket was just not enough. I need more!

Great Job Braxton.  When you hit the super, major big time…don’t forget us little people. Look forward to seeing more!
