In another impressive show for Merriweather Post Pavilion’s 50th anniversary, My Morning Jacket with special guest Gary Clark Jr., came to play for the dedicated fans that were ready to kick off the weekend despite the hot temperatures. Friday was a hazy summer day at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD but that didn’t stop the fans from piling in early so they didn’t miss the epic performance by Gary Clark Jr.

Gary Clark Jr., took the stage to a packed pit screaming for his impressive guitar riffs and solos. Clark showed why some people are referring to him as today’s Jimi Hendrix. The magnificent line up would seem like he would have been the headliner but My Morning Jacket wrapped up the night with an incredible 2 ½ hour set. The mix of beautiful lights with Jim James vocals and guitar playing brought the night to a perfect end which added another one in the books for the historic venue.
