Jack Johnson!

mada999

hey all just wondering what you think of Jack??

I think he's deadly first heard of him 2 years ago, really cool melodies and great voice....his new album in between dreams to class!!

Also one of his old songs "dreams be dreams" is amazing!!!

Dublin's Finest

Not too mad on his new stuff, but Inaudible Melodies is a good album.

Flake, the News, Bubble Toes...all good songs.

The Sunday Times were calling him a genius earlier in the year, which can only forewarn his drift into mediocrity...

They'll be playing him in Dunnes soon.

He's deadly! such a pity the vicar st gig sold out so quickly:(

mada999

Only Startd listenin to his stuff recently..so far so good!!!

ya-what-now?

Just heard today that his sold out vicar st gig has been moved to the point! Now after an experience there just last night I would've preferred any other venue but hey at least I'll get to go now as will many others!

Although, if I was one of the lucky few that got tickets for vicar st I'd be really pissed off-it would've been great to see him in such an intimate venue!


Still at least more people get to enjoy the gig now :rolleyes:

Yeah unfortunately i have to agree with you. He's been on top of the pops (graveyard of the talentless) and FM104 recently. Reckon i should enjoy "on and on" and "inaudible melodies" while i still can cos in 2yrs we could be talking about him in tones reserved for that twat robbie williams (though thats probably overly harsh)

mada999

I really liked all of his albums so far but i think in between dreams is my fave at the moment! got my ticket so I'm chuffed!!!! can't wait now!

irishraven

Should be a great gig! I have 4 Pitt tickets in the point! Can't wait...

Support is Matt Costa and he is amazing, I have the album "Songs we sing" - check out a song called "Astair" - really good, I'm so happy that the support act is gonna be of such high quality!:D

Seriously are you a manager in dunnes? I was in there yesterday and true enough they were playing jack johnson, i had to try and not run out screaming. Quite prophetic all the same....

irishraven

I have 4 tickets for the Pitt for Dublin and I'd love to sell them to friends at face value but as i Paid 175 a tickets, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to try get as close to that back even though I am sure to make a loss!!!

irishraven

Watched the double DVD set last night....WOW!!!! Best money ever spent!!!

Matt Costa is going to be awesome as support and Jack in front of the big audience....AMAZING....the songs seem to carry really well no matter how big the venue with everyone singing along....

I highly recommend this;)

umm, and ur prob gonna need some file convertors, so if u have any questions about that just let me know

Hope this is news, ah how I love this fella

irishraven

thanks a million for the link ;-)

Can't wait for the two gigs i'm going to! I'll be seeing him twice in 3 days!!!

40crush41

anytime -its my pleasure

and Luccccccccckky! those are gonna be some awesome 3 days -have crazy amounts of fun, okay? haha

irishraven

Hey, you seem like a big Dave Matthews fan...have you seen them live before? I take it you have?

I would love them to come here, I am sure they would be well received. I have every album and i'm working my way through all the live ones although it seems like there are endless amounts! haha

anyone else along the same lines that you like that I might not have heard of?

I am listening to alot of David Jackson Project, Matt Wertz and Tim Brantely at the moment!

later...

40crush41

Heh, I suppose it might be said that I'm a fan of dmb *grins*
Yes indeed, I've been lucky enough to see em 4 times full band, dave and friends, and super lucky to see dave and tim. so yea, they're my favorite band. I really hope that they get their butts in gear and get over to Ireland, from what I hear theres a decent amount of fans and ya know, fair is fair.

Sure, I'll think up a little list that you hopefully deem worthy of checking out .. letsee how good I am at this game
The Flecktones: incredible band/musicians, simply Love them.
Phish: Prob thee jam band to know. Very talented bunch with an insane following. im not all that familiar with their material (they have tons) but im working on it .
OAR: very popular band that a lot of dmb fans follow. i like what i hear when i hear it, but tbh idk them that well.
Dispatch: Learning more bout them now, and Loving it. rock/reggae/funk -need i say more?
Garden State Soundtrack: Anyone from it is worth a shot, Zach Braff found some great music for that movie. Joshua Radin (not from gs) but his name is worth noting, singer songwriter type.

and that should keep you busy for now
ah yea, G. Love and Special Sauce, I saw them open for dmb this summer. Funky Band, they have a upright bass, thought it was impressive. Cool to know that they did something with jj.
also thanks for those names -i know i'll check em out

Peace, Love, and hope the show(s) are off the hook everyone, later ~Beth

mada999

yeah thats mad! I think anyone that gets into jj also gets into those bands you've mentioned.

My friend in the states always tells me to check out OAR and dispatch...I've heard a few OAR songs "crazy game of poker" is a deadly song, G love are cool! haven't heard much phish...taj mahal is cool though.....Garden state soundtrack is something else so many good tunes on it! nice chilled out music!

besty

Dave Matthews Band are incredible. Can't wait for the JJ gig though, got one of the original Vicar St. tickets so pissed off it was moved, but still, I get to see him so I'm happy:D

irishraven

The good news is...we are in the PIT!!!

40crush41

mada999

Got Jack Johnson's album for Christmas. Love it. I don't play guitar but the acoustics sound quite mellow. Easy chords put together to make a good sound, correct me if I'm wrong..

Overall, think he's very good! Real laidback kinda feeling.

You are so right and I totally recommend his live DVD which I picked up on cdwow for about 15 euro!! Matt Costa plays on it also and he is amazing!!!!

Its called live at the Greek & live in Japan - I can't say enough about this 2 disk set...money very well spent!

Anyone here like "Astair" by Matt Costa? I've never looked forward to a support act as much as i have this guy!!!

Hey,

Anyone who has the original tickets for the Vicar Street gig (standing) are allowed into the gig 15mins before the rest and automatic entry to the pit!

Matt Costa who is the support act is absolutely unreal!!! No kidding, i would have paid any amount to see him on his own! 2 for 1 is a great deal, i just pray he plays the song "Astair"

Surely all of us with tickets for vicar st cant fit into the pit...can we??

irishraven

Anyone with standing tickets are in the Pit for the point and anyone with seating tickets for vicar street are in prime seats at the point!

I wouldn't have believed it either but thats what it says on the website!:D

I'll be there so damn early to make sure i'm in the Pit! Since we are being allowed in 15 mins earlier it shouldn't be a problem!
