We walked in to a group of people under the shade pavilion. They were listening to a 'band' perform. Uh, yeah...it was Jack Johnson, G'Love, the lead singer of ALO, and some Hawaiian chick that is touring with Jack. Ummm, have you ever been to a concert where the headliner and the opening acts are doing a 50 person gig in the common area? It was AWESOME! Apparently, Jack Johnson donates all the ticket sales from his concerts to local charities. I guess if he is performing for free why would he care if he performed before the performance?
The concert started promptly at 7:00 and lasted until after 11:00. ALO opened (never heard of them...don't have any comments) followed by G.Love. G.Love is a white guy from Philly who plays the harmonica, sings the blues, and raps. His most popular songs are entitled, "I like Cold Beverages", "Booty Call", and "My baby's got Sauce". He is FAB! What is there not to love? We have seen him several times at Gypsy Tea Room, House of Blues, etc. Every other time we have seen him with his band, "Special Sauce" but last night he was solo. It was good but I like him better with the sauce, then again...isn't everything better with 'sauce'?
Jack Johnson played all our favs, did some numbers with G.Love, the Hawaiian chick, and the ALO guy. The whole night was just entirely great with or without sauce!
