Mr. Johnson

Saturday morning we got up and headed out to Centennial Park to see Jack Johnson in concert. It was only his second concert in 2 years, and it was worth the $90 AUD. When we got to town it seemed like the whole city of Sydney was going there, but we made it in good time and were there for the gates opening. We got some water and found a grassy spot to sit to the side of the stage, but under a massive screen. There were three opening acts, including someone called Matt Costa, who was actually okay, so I might have to look into him. The third act was a guy called G.Love and the Special Sauce or something like that, and after a while (a very short while) all his music sounded the same. Finally Jack Johnson came on at around 8 pm and played a two hour set. He forgot the lyrics a couple of times, but the audience knew them, so we just kept singing for him. He talked between songs about his wife and son, very nice. It was a warm night, and we were packed in pretty tight so I never got cold and the temperature was perfect. Afterwards we FINALLY got a bus back to town and headed home. It was a great night all around.
