Absotively. When I bought my copy of Okonokos back in 2007, it's the exact words I used as I played each track, leading up to this. As if it were "One Big Crescendo"... And all these years later..."It Still Moves" me.
Each time I hear the intro to this song a small part of me wants to quit my office job, lose 40 lbs, and learn how to cage fight. After a few minutes the dream fades and get back to work.
I remember this moment like it was yesterday. Bonnaroo is a long musical weekend and it had rained, it was hot as hell, and me and my friends were all sunburnt and exhausted by the time MMJ got on to perform. We had heard a few songs from At Dawn, but were just going to see them because Modest Mouse was playing after and one of my acquaintances at the time (now he's my life long bud) absolutely loved this band. We are all sitting on the ground, tired and ready to go home - and when MMJ came on stage, none of us stood up. We just sat there, being beat down by the weekend. Then... all of a sudden... the drums... the bass... and right when the guitar came in, I looked down and I was standing... I don't even remember doing it. I look to my left and then to my right, and all my friends were on their feet - magically summoned by the power of MMJ. This is still one of my best concert memories, ever. They f'n rocked it and I've been a die-hard MMJ fan for life since that iconic moment. *sigh* Bonnaroo used to be great. Oh, and for the record... Modest Mouse f'n sucked.
I was at this set! Stage right, just a few rows back. When the storm blew in, the whole stage shook, and the band's hair was flying everywhere, and they barely acknowledged it! Just kept playing...it was like they were summoning the thunder. Amazing.
That sounds absolutely incredible. The sets of multiple different bands I've seen when the sky falls out and nobody leaves. Just all getting drenched are by far the most memorable. I can only imagine how it was during this show.
I was at a Petty and the Heartbreakers show in Indy in 2005. Same thing. Thunderstorms circling all around their set but they kept playing even when the stage lights went out. The sound system was still powered.
It was one of my all time very best concert experiences. "You're a very brave and a very beautiful gang, and I salute you" I'll never forget that moment! Pure joy.

sunday afternoon. at the which stage. i posted up to see mm&w. my friend justin left me half way through to see david byrne. i thought at the time i should of went with him, being a big talking heads fan. mm&w wrapped up and i was going to make my way out. someone in the crowd noticed me leaving and prompted me to stay put, "the next band, my morning jacket is incredible". thank god i took that mans advice. this performance blew my mind and in the moment of this song i was brought to awe. thank you for posting this.
this was one of my favorite shows along with the MMW set. they were different days and it started down pouring for each one. MMW I remember really played to the intensity of the approaching colossal rain storm clouds.
I was there. Magic is exactly what those whole 3 days were to me, what I remember anyway. I was at this show and I have it posted on my TH-cam channel to forever remind me how lucky I once was as a young man in 2004. The biggest, the best Bonnaroo ever. On record.
I saw them the previous year in 2003 when they opened for Pete Yorn, and Foo Fighters. They blew the roof off the place and the whole crowd was just standing their motionless and unimpressed. Fast forward to 2008 and they are closing Bonnaroo playing a 4 hour set. Its sad that the majority of people only respond positively to things that are already known or familiar. Whenever I see a new band I always try to give them the best attention. You never know how awesome they will be in 5 years.
It was seeing this video that brought me back to what was important. I saw Jim James with his hair and that flying V. I thought, "No one's ever fucking telling me to cut my hair again." Life's too short, guys.
Saw them at Austin City Limits in 2004. Couldn’t see their faces, just a bunch of hair and they freakin rocked. Just off the It Still Moves tour if I recall.
Vintage My Morning Jacket they have a huge following they don't want anything to do with mainstream makes me like them more but you are right people are missing out,
I was at the show the following year’s festival and my life was changed. It was the first of at least 10 of their shows I was able to see and I was grateful for each one! What an incredible band
There's something about this song. No matter how many times I hear it, no matter what the setting is, I almost get teary eyed from the force this song is played with, and get an amazing rush of euphoria and just a rad sense of well-being. MMJ fo'life yo.
Saw MMJ in West Palm last week, 1st show of the Americanarama tour and then the next night in Tampa. I'm 61, A HUGE Dylan fan ( he was awesome as usual) - but let me tell you, these guys blew me right away!!!!!!!! Jim James RULES period - end of story
Wakin' up feelin' good and limber When the telephone it ring Was a bad man from California Tellin' of a stone he'd bring And of better days From this town, we'd escape If we holler loud and make our way We'd all live one big holiday So we listened and up the river And recorded all the sounds Was some shakin' and some record playin' All the leather kids were loud Source: Musixmatch
Onaje Gregory Beside the fact that we don't care about your opinion,you are completely deaf!!!!The drummer follows the studio version with 98% success....but whatever
I was there about an hour into my mushrooms what a miraculous beautiful spirit that evening My Morning Jacket best performance ever not to mention the ensuing storm the band summoned to relieve us from the scorching Heat this performance went into the wee hours it still might be going on
Was in the crowd for this one, don't think I've headbanged harder even at a Deftones show. To this day this tune will rock your face off and make you boogie down. Epic.
I was at this show. I asked them to release this video to the public because it's their best work on record. I know they have way cooler stuff that was never recorded. Thank you for the release. Oh...BTW,,,this was way before the American Dad show,,but thanks to Stan Smith for the exposure.
12 beers deep, probably 3AM, mid-pandemic, having known them since 2004 cause you can't escape em in Louisville, I finally became a proper MMJ fan. Mostly because of this song
Just because you dont like it ,cause you are old an tired doesnt mean they are not god performers, and there is certain kind of music that is timeless... withi respectc.
The sky was angry that day, but it was the only thing that could stop the place from self combustion. I don't think I'll ever see anything musically in a live setting like it again. Or maybe I will, that's why live music is so live............
I was. And we all got a shower courtesy of Mother Nature as MMJ played on.....till it was too dangerous to be on a stage with that amount of electricity, which was miniscule to the amount of electricity the sky was playing with. That was a good day.
Haha. That place was definitely ready to explode. Some brewery was giving away free beer at the stage. It's safe to say that was the last year they allowed that. What an amazing show...
Every time I watch this one performance I remember why mmj are the best band on the scene. They just keep getting better and challenging us as listeners with their ever-changing sound.
The best live version of this I’ve ever heard
…of any song ever😃
This is straight up one of the most rocking songs ever
Always put a smile on my face.
yea it fuckin whips
Even when I'm dying I be thinking of this one big fucking holiday hay hay x

I’ve always said the exact same thing
Give the sound team a pay rise. This is immense.
Because it’s a live video overdubb’d with the same song from the Okonokos album. 🙄
@@KJVIDS82 this is definitely a live mix bud
@@KJVIDS82 not even close
As far as I'm concerned My Morning Jacket are amongst the best bands to take a stage. Real musicians making music of real quality. They make me happy.
still the case 10 years later :)
Agreed and still true
@@brandotex😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
this should have 4 billion views.
This has such a 70's vibe to it that i can't stop listening to it, it saddens me that this isn't as popular like it NEEDS to be
the fact that this is not popular should make you happy
That would destroy it.
@@topgatorautoI beg to differ. I’d rather hear this than synthesizers farting.
Each time I hear the intro to this song a small part of me wants to quit my office job, lose 40 lbs, and learn how to cage fight. After a few minutes the dream fades and get back to work.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kevin you deserve way more than 22 👍🏼 for this
This comment made my friggin' day, truly! Ahahaha...
This is the best version
It's been 9ys. Did you let the dream fade. Or did you find the balls to live it
Every time the vocals kick in I well up with tears a little bit. This song just does somethin to me.

Oh, and for the record... Modest Mouse f'n sucked.
And since that day, no one has been able to bring the house back up.
***** Nope.
Jesus, dat sound quality.
The sound engineers for this set are wizards. I'm blown away as well.
Incredible right??? Raw and live but crisp and catching all the dirty nuances.
Absolutely. This dude still sounds good live
I was just thinking the same thing, amazing sound on this

Ross Somerville Actually this song was 2nd. They opened with Mahgeetah. Heaven on earth 1st and 2nd songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got roped into seeing David Byrne instead too...big regrets for not staying for this
My morning jacket played on Saturday, Byrne was on Sunday. I was able to watch both.
this was one of my favorite shows along with the MMW set. they were different days and it started down pouring for each one. MMW I remember really played to the intensity of the approaching colossal rain storm clouds.
Goddamn this song still rocks so hard ❤
My absolute favorite version of One Big Holiday. This is nature unleashed. Incredible.
i am a child of the 60s, and i will tell you that song kicks ass! there was some magic at that festival no doubt
I was there. Magic is exactly what those whole 3 days were to me, what I remember anyway. I was at this show and I have it posted on my TH-cam channel to forever remind me how lucky I once was as a young man in 2004. The biggest, the best Bonnaroo ever. On record.

M favorite part of Bonnaroo is finding new bands.
I seen them on that tour with the foos in Dayton. It was amazing.
played like there's no tomorrow
Completely agree.
Yes this is not good at all . it's above amazing..
It was seeing this video that brought me back to what was important.
I saw Jim James with his hair and that flying V.
I thought, "No one's ever fucking telling me to cut my hair again."
Life's too short, guys.
KamikazeButterfly Profound
One of the greatest modern Rock songs with electrifying solos :) and five of the best musicians :)
Playing like they have nothing to lose!! God I love this freaking band!
Me, too!! My late hubby and I were able to see them 3 times, I believe ❤
I was at this bonnaroo and this band's music pulled me in, I was wondering around. I had never heard of them before. This set was freaking awesome.
I was there! BONNAROO!!!!
Saw them at Austin City Limits in 2004. Couldn’t see their faces, just a bunch of hair and they freakin rocked. Just off the It Still Moves tour if I recall.
One of the most underrated songs of all time.
13 years later and still wondering if anything will ever match this. Electric.
This song is so badass! It should be so much more popular than it is now and I don't know why it isn't
...yeah....
Do you hear an angel?
Yes !!!!!
Vintage My Morning Jacket they have a huge following they don't want anything to do with mainstream makes me like them more but you are right people are missing out,
That’s just some straight up, badass rock n roll.

I had heard of mmj along before this show but this video is what drew me to the point of obsession. My favorite rock band of all time.
This set changed my life, and I saw them many times after! Long live the Jacket!

Although hearing them play this before when I saw this it quickly became one of my favorite songs
Under rated band. Under rated song.

those good ol' Kentucky boys
This set was so amazing it was unreal, when the storm hit and they continued to play on it was like something out of a movie
Wakin' up feelin' good and limber
When the telephone it ring
Was a bad man from California
Tellin' of a stone he'd bring
And of better days
From this town, we'd escape
If we holler loud and make our way
We'd all live one big holiday
So we listened and up the river
And recorded all the sounds
Was some shakin' and some record playin'
All the leather kids were loud
Source: Musixmatch
This band needs a DVD for every live performance, its too much to handle
A friend with a good taste in music brought me here...
and god knows it's rare to have friends with good taste in music
I just saw them live and when they played this as the last song in their encore, I was headbanging so hard my neck hurt for 3 days after.
the drummer KILLED IT !!! just like the studio version
Onaje Gregory Beside the fact that we don't care about your opinion,you are completely deaf!!!!The drummer follows the studio version with 98% success....but whatever
Panagiwths Anastasopoulos lol sorry man didnt have my hearing aid in .. shame on him lol
The best beginning and ending to any song i've ever heard.
This song gives me the chills
I was there about an hour into my mushrooms what a miraculous beautiful spirit that evening My Morning Jacket best performance ever not to mention the ensuing storm the band summoned to relieve us from the scorching Heat this performance went into the wee hours it still might be going on
Best. Buildup. Ever!!!
i was at this set, and think of it every single time i hear one big holiday
I was there on the right side of the stage standing next to the KOL boys who were losing their minds like everybody else. Good times...
watch the live version of this song a few years back on conan o' brien show- best late nite tv performance ive ever seen...
Amazing.Just one of the many reasons why they're my favorite thing to listen to.
Impossible not to travel in the mind, or feel emotion when this song sounds. And in that ecstasy in the jam of the song. Greetings from Mexico.
Was in the crowd for this one, don't think I've headbanged harder even at a Deftones show. To this day this tune will rock your face off and make you boogie down. Epic.
My Morning Jacket is the most talented band to hit music since the seventies. That's why I'm here.

wow man, I never heard these guys before! the singer has great voice. I'm gonna get more of their music!
So happy to say that I have seen this band in concert...
Discovered this song from the movie Stick It. So glad I looked it up!
How does this not have 1 million+ views after ten years!?!?

Rock in the purest form

saw them live couple years ago, my respects, put up an amazing display of musical rock and blues, this band its a classic.
Heard this today for the first time at the local used record shop. IMMEDIATELY grabbed my attention.
Man, these guys are REALLY happy to be in this band. And rightly so.
saw theses guys for the first time a lollapalooza and was completely blown away
This is so killer!!!
Intro is fire!!!
Jim James was sent straight from heaven. I'm so in love with everything from My Morning Jacket, never gets old!
Absolute clasoc
The concert that started my love for My Morning Jacket was this concert. What an amazing weekend. Didnt sleep much at all.
I purchased Bonnaroo 2004 when it was released and was introduced to MMJ & KOL. The Jacket certainly unleashed The Fury!
This blows my mind
I'm happy to see that hippies never died off.
Hard to imagine a show getting better than that opening song but with MMJ that's what happens. A truly magnificent band.
nothing brought me here but love for this band and their music. any other reason-
I piss on.
Wow, the quality of this video is almost just as sick as the song itself!
They killed that shit!!
agreed. thats what brought me here and im so glad they had that on their show its so amazing
Fun fact, this set went so goddamn hard it summoned a rain storm to cool the ashes!
classic performance of this song. I remember seeing this years ago.
My Morning Jacket is the reason i'm here.
get the chills every time
THEY SOUND GREAT
Nobody in that crowd knew them, but by the end, a good part of it loved them and never looked back🤩
What a damn performance!!!
Saw them open for Pearl Jam in Boston twice itn 2006. Instant fan for life.
I love watching them playing mean it man x I don't care about words they good it's the performance when that riff starts x
Go see this band, wherever you are are! The best!😊
My 7 month old daughter goes nuts to this!
I would kill to have this film this whole show….
This will never go out of style.
Good Music is the reason I'm here
Bonnaroo this year is going to be AMAZING I pray that MMJ plays this one again!
good music is the reason im here
still a perfect song for a little spiritual exploration
My Morning Jacket being freakin' awesome brought me here.
