It was warm, humid and cloudy on the day of our Jack Johnson concert. Despite the warmth, it was a perfect day to be outside and sitting on the lawn at the DTE Music Center to enjoy some relaxing tunes. Jack Johnson is classified as a folk and acoustic rock musician, however I compare him between a calmer version of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords, but his lyrics make the music. His style is very mellow and relaxed. It’s the kind of music you listen to while you’re cleaning or sitting around on a rainy day.
After we arrived, we were afraid that our concert was going to be postponed on account …show more content…
He played “My Little Girl,” “Bubbles Toes,” Sleeping Through the Static,” and even “Better Together,” which was a song off his first album. Mind you, all these songs are so relaxed, they’re a little upbeat, but mellower than anything. I’ve heard people say that the best time to listen to Jack Johnson is when they are smoking marijuana and just want to relax. I guess you can’t really take that to heart, unless you have done that before, but that’s just what I’ve heard. Anyways, Jack finally started to play songs off his new album after getting the crowd all ecstatic with his past songs. Before the show, I did not really listen to any of his newer stuff because the album had come out just days before, and I was stuck on his older music and wasn’t ready for a change yet. He played “Washing Dishes,” You Remind Me of You,” “Shot Reverse Shot,” all of which were excellent songs. I enjoyed hearing him play his newer songs lives versus on an album because it’s such a different experience.
Seeing Jack live and performing his new album made it such a more pleasant experience than listening to his music through headphones or a lab top. I feel like being there, hearing him playing his guitar, the extra instruments added in such as the keyboard, bass, and drums, made it a totally different experience. This concert blew every other concert out of the water that I have ever been to, and then some. I highly suggest that if anyone enjoys relaxing music and a great atmosphere, to go to one of his shows and see for
