SO last night, I crossed another thing off my “to do” list.

A good friend Nath and I spent most of yesterday at a Jamiroquai Concert. To say the experience was great would be an understatement, but there were 3 major things that I got outta the day.

Number 1.
The Concert last night reaffirmed that Jamiroquai are my favourite band. And the fact that I can actually remember words to their songs is a testament to them (I'm not a lyric man)
If you have never heard of them, feel free to check out there latest single
(Don't) Give hate a chance , which is according, to Front Man Jay Kay, written about the doofus otherwise known as George W Bush (his words not mine)
They've been around for over 10 years and well the concert was great because they played stuff from all 6 albums which is great for people who were around from the start like myself. Just their whole musicianship and funk/groove was awesome. Couldn't stop moving all night. Seriously check them out...

B.
On the other hand, the Support Acts... Eugh, the complete opposite. See being someone who has done 'sound', I've become really picky about mic-ing/mixing and they other 2 acts were atrocious. One band would've been awesome if they had just removed the beat sampling. Like why have a kit player and a freaking awesome aux percussionist, if you just drown them out with electro beats. Seriously... And the other band, HA. 2 singers in front of dance tracks, I was happier listening to my IPOD. Lesson learnt = I'm picky about music, and give me people actually playing over samples any FREAKING day.

III.
So Nath and I ended up sitting really close to the front, but the section in front of us was sectioned off and for some reason they had 2 couches. Weird enough, but more so that we were in an outside concert. We wondered who's they were, and well the security guard didn't even know who was playing in the concert (gotta love security) but after seeing this really rich guy take one of the couches, just before the concert started it was cool to see a family with a developmental delayed guy sit there, and seriously he was getting into it way more than anyone. And there was just something about that really seemed cool. Hope that doesn't sound wrong. I think I just have an affinity with Mentally Disabled, always seem to make me smile...


Anyways, So there's the 3 things I got out of it... Anyone have any opinions??

Whoa, virtual insanity! Jamiro is my main squeeze. I love that guy. What, with his moving sidewalks and fuzzy hats - who wouldn't?

I also like his other stuff. Funkmasta j. Good concert choice.
