Better together

Hey you guys!!

Melbourne is nolonger a sunny paradise. Yesterday we experienced our first real autumn day here. It was rainy, cold and windy. All three things that usually make you kind of depressed and irritated. But we were smiling in the rain. Along with autumn Jack Johnson came to Melbourne.

Aussies sure love Jack Johnson, lots of people showed up when the gates opened.

Me, before the concert. Look how happy I am!

We were standing in the rain for a good 3 and 1/2 hours before he came on stage but as soon as he started playing we felt his warmness and the music he played was like a warm hawiian summer breeze caressing my cold cheek. His voice was smooth, his band was amazing. And it was an overall top 10 live music experience. He played all the songs we wanted to hear. Both old ones and some from the new album. His Keyboardist was really something else. He could play all insturments in the world (at least it looked like it) and he had such a cool voice! They were so good together! Jack was as down to earth as I expected him to be. He came out before the starting acts just because he felt sorry for us standing there in the pouring rain. He played an introducing song and talked for the environmental organisations that supported his show. I thing it's the coolest thing that he is so aware and supportive of environmental stuff. I admire him

so much for that.

Jackie in front of thousands of fans.

One thing that was a little bit unfortunate was that we had lawn tickets... which only meant that we were about 50 meters from the stage and could not get any closer. If you ever go to live shows at the Myer Music Bowl here in Melbourne, be sure to get seated tickets because you don't have to sit down it only means you are closer to the stage. Our internet is so slow! Haven't been able to upload the videos I took at the show yet.. Will post them as soon as possible.


Love, Cooly
