Dang, that's some seriously good jamming. Actually managed to pull a chorus outta there. Someone tell this man that if he has a few minutes, to make a better recording and sell it online. I'd buy it!
Whole thing was caught - there is a site where you can download the whole concert (with Jason's permission). Its a fantastic gig. Love the Rainbow connection and the song they made up from people phrases that evening. Search archive.org for Dagmar's upload (the lady who's garden it was)
If i was there, first, i would be 8 years old :p, BUT i would have the biggest grin on my face and the most weightless feeling because that night is magical :)
"Jumping music, swift DJ's Smoke machines and laser rays Look out weekend 'cuz, here I come Because weekends were, were" I'snt this from the Black eyed peas?
I agree that musicians change and their music changes along with them, but when you have a chance to work for a record label and actually turn your music into more than just a hobby you would be surprised how quickly most artists will sell out. The label does its market research and finds the area in which Mraz would have the most success. He then caters to that new market and no longer the "coffee shop" market. Thats what happened here. His new music is still good but doesn't compare.
check out "my own shit" and "chocolate" somewhere here on youtube! it's not completely the same, but for me it was an enjoyable throwback to his older stuff. =)
