RECAP

My Morning Jacket touched down in New York last night, Oct. 16, to set off their hotly anticipated three-night series at the Brooklyn Paramount. Two long years after their October 2023 run at the Beacon Theatre, the roots-rock standard-bearers’ triumphant return to NYC was well worth the wait, with night one’s setlist looking back on a pivotal chapter in their early catalog and introducing the city to the electrifying live translations of their 10th studio album, is. In line with their earlier stagings in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Boston and Portland, Maine, the band accented another stop on their 2025 tour’s last leg by including a live debut.
