We wondered down to LA last night for the second night of My Morning Jacket’s three-night residency at the Wiltern in which the band will play an entirely different set each of the three nights without repeating a single song over the course of the three nights.  Conceptually this makes for some very interesting setlists (see below the videos), and particularly for the band’s most rabid fans.  We would have preferred less of their obscurities and more of their most-highly-regarded songs, but we get it.   We’ll write more later about My Morning Jacket’s raging 2-1/2 hour set and Iron & Wine’s (solo Sam Beam this time around as opposed to last year’s big band headlining show at the Wiltern) sublime opening segment (see setlist at bottom).  The two artists crossed paths twice on stage last night.  The first was a joint cover of George Harrison’s Isn’t It a Pity and then on a cover of The Clash’s Rock the Casbah for which Sam Beam held the lyric cue cards for Jim James.  MMJ also covered Erykah Badu’s Tyrone last night and on the first night at the Wiltern covered Elton John’s Rocket Man, The Band’s It Makes No Difference and Prince’s I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man.  Check out last night’s Harrison and Clash covers below.
