  • My Morning Jacket offered up a live stream of Tuesday night’s album-release concert (directed by Todd Haynes) from their hometown of Louisville, KY, where the Southern rockers debuted tunes from Circuital. The highlight found MMJ teaming up with Erykah Badu for a stunning rendition of 2005’s “Wordless Chorus.” (MMJ are huge Badu fans: they’ve regularly performed her track “Tyrone” in concert.) Check out their on-stage collab below and head over to the band’s YouTube to watch selections from the show.
