We missed the two opening acts.

I have been a Jack Johnson fan since I bought In Between Dreams on a whim about three and a half years ago. I have been waiting ever since then to see him live and last night I finally got to. And it was just as great as all the bootleg recordings and official live material that I have heard in the past. He has a good time on the stage and you can tell. He talks to the crowd a decent amount, he laughs when he messes up and the show just keeps going. Durning a couple songs he forget the lyrics or messed up the verses and laughed and/or made jokes about it. The setlist was a good balance of all five of his albums and the video set-up he had going on through the whole set was pretty good too. The encore may have been the best part because Jack came out solo and just played the acoustic guitar.The only problem I had with the show was the rain and it was semi-cold but that has nothing to do with the actual show itself. (The setlist is in 100% correct order but I don't know about some songs, and those songs I put [I think] around them. I was trying to enjoy it and pay as much attetion as I could since he doesn't come around often.)

What a great show it was. I don't know when it happend but Jack is big enough to sell out a 22,000 person venue, whih is amazing but he does it his way, on his time and does what he wants when he wants. I have nothing but the up most respect for the man. The crowd was really in to it, singing along, dancing along, cheering the whole set. He played for an hour and fifty minutes, doing 28 songs. Simply an amazing night. But the two hours spent in traffic, litterly, wasn't amazing,

I didn't look at your list that closely the first time I saw it. I'm happy with my set, but that's awesome that you got Girl, I Wanna Lat You Down. I didn't think he'd do that song without the rest of ALO. That's awesome! Do You Remember would have been cool too. I keep thinking of all these songs I'd have liked to have heard, and then I remember that he played about 2 hours, did 25 or so songs, and I was pretty well happy with everything he played, so there's really nothing for me to complain about at all. Haha, I guess I just want a 3 hour set which is never gonna happen...
