My Morning Jacket wrapped a two-night run at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California on Saturday. The band brought out Robin Pecknold from co-headliners Fleet Foxes for a Neil Young classic.
The Neil cover with Pecknold came as the 10th song in MMJ’s 15-song co-headlining set at the Greek when the collab offered Young’s “Comes A Time.” The tune is the title track to Neil’s 1978 album.

The performance with Pecknold marked MMJ’s debut of “Comes A Time,” as per SetlistFM stats. The choice cover saw Robin and My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James beginning the song on acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies before the band came in behind them. The Young tune also saw guitarist Carl Broemel deliver a shimmering run on pedal steel.
