MMJ’s Spontaneous Curation Series arrived stateside on Saturday night for a highly-anticipated set in front of a massive crowd in their hometown of Louisville, KY (and for those following along on the iClips web cast, myself included). The band closed down a soggy second day at this year’s Forecastle Festival and delivered on their promise to bring out some rarities (“The Dark”), extra special guests (Andrew Bird and Preservation Hall Jazz Band), and long-shelved covers (“Rocket Man”). Forecastle’s final day goes down tomorrow with a full slate that includes Charles Bradley, Wilco Clutch and more. Continue below for to check out the set list from tonight’s show.
