"Every year, Neil and Pegi Young host the non-profit Bridge School Concert, benefiting the unique learning complex which assists children with severe physical impairments and challenging communication needs.
The first was held in 1986, and the event is known as a totally unique musical event. Over the years the line-up of participants reads like a history of rock & roll. Volume IV of Live Recordings From Bridge School Concerts includes My Morning Jacket's "Gideon" and "Just One Thing" from the October 28th, 2007 Bridge School Concert, and is available exclusively on iTunes.
The proceeds from the iTunes digital downloads will be donated to the Bridge School, where one of the thrusts of their learning program is the use of advanced augmentative and alternative communication systems and assistive technology.
Over the history of the concerts since 1986, some of the most exciting and surprising performances of live music have become a hallmark of the shows, and most of them are now available for the world to hear and purchase.

hello friends. we are proud to announce and release a lil live ep that was recorded right in our very own hometown of louisville, ky. a few songs were taken from our in-store appearence at our beloved and fabled record haven “ear-x-tacy” and a few of them were taken from our concert at the fabled “waterfront park.” see if you can guess which is from which. we are excited to make this a special release that you can only get at your favorite local independent record store, as now more than ever we all need to take the time to celebrate what our favorite local record stores and businesses mean to us - the value of community/human to human non- internet related physical and spiritual contact and supporting the hardworking people in your community who strive everyday to keep it unique and keep it local. we are fortunate in our travels to get to see many wonderful things, but one of the most distressing things is the increasing “normalization” of the world and how all these places are starting to look the same- everywhere you look more and more towns are starting to be filled with the same gigantic corporations, and while some of these huge companies undoubtably provide valuable services, it is so important that we realize that it is our local businesses and people (and natural landscapes, but thats a different letter) that are what make different towns worth coming to…things you can only get in one place, made and sold by people who believe in what they are doing…people who are trying to keep good weirdness alive in this crazy dome. god* bless all of you, and god* bless the world and all that kinda shit.
-yer pals, my morning jacket
p.s.- *the word “god*” is used here meaning anything you want it to mean and is a trademark of globo-chem worldwide.
The EP (in both CD and limited edition double 10″ vinyl) will be available at finer independent retailers beginning on Record Store Day, April 18.

I am completely enthralled by you guys! Jim, your performance in "I'm Not There" was simply brilliant; the perfect haunting touch to the town of Riddle!
I have a statement and 3 questions for Patrick. 1. It was awesome seeing you play with Dan at Lolla! 2. Was that the bears poncho you were sportin? 3. Were you not fucking dying of heat?
hey jim and boys. just wanted to say i love you all. jim...can't wait to see you in boston. CAN'T WAIT! i've waited such a long time to see you perform live and FINALLY its coming true.
i'm listening to all your albums today, cleaning my room, although your music is far more then cleaning music. it's just fits my mood perfectly. also...it still moves is great to listen to while on a bike ride (which i found out recently). however, its probably a good idea that i don't listen to my ipod while riding a bike through the traffic of boston.
