Let's start a discussion about Jack. Who else oves Jack on here. My ultimate show would be Jack opening for Pearl Jam. Thoughts, comments?

    Yea, I like listening to his music when its warm and to chill out.

    My wife really enjoys his music, but Jack's voice is a little too soft for me. I definitely think some of his songs are good, but I can't take much of his vocals.

    Good shit. No matter what the season, I don't mind listening to some Jack. I'm with you though, having Jack and Pearl Jam on the same bill would be quite awesome

    I would love to see him at a small club. I should get one of his albums. Any recommendations?

    I am a big fan of Jack Johnson. Great way to relax and wind down. I saw him in 05 in Santa Barbara and I was really surprised at how energetic his shows are.

    Alot of college girls at his shows, so that's another reason to go.

    They did 2 songs together in 2003. Soon Forget and Betterman. Betterman was great cause Jack started it instead of Eddie.

    Yeah, I have that on a cd GREMMIE 95 made for. Good stuff. I like it when Jack says after Soon Forget.."I love that song".

    Was that at a PJ show, a Jack show, or a festival they were both at?

    Not looking to get flamed here, but I've tried for a couple of years, listened to his cd's, been lobbied to give it another try, and I can't get into his music. I think it's the whispering voice. Maybe it's too subtle. Decent rhythms and acoustic guitar, even lyrics are pretty good, but vocals must be a personal taste.

    Again, I've tried. And I love reefs with bottle openers, crocs, beach music, reggae, the whole scene. If I could live and die on Siesta Key, I would.

    I wanna like his music, but can't bring myself to do it. Anyone else as experienced this?
    I love to turn you on

    I'm sure seeing Jack Johnson singing with Ed would change my opinion, or seeing him perform live with a boatload of college girls in the crowd!!! I wonder how high the sound board crew have to turn his mic up though.
    I love to turn you on

    Man, I love all the Jack cd's. My recommandation, if you live in warm weather, take a six pack or 12 pack or joint, whatever your pleasure, wait for the sun to begin to set, sit outside some place, a deck-the grass, whatever, and put in anyone of his cd's. If it's cold where you live, same scenerio, just inside I guess. I don't know. Jack just may not be your thing.

    My momma always told me to not say anything at all if I dont have anything nice to say.

    So, having said too much already, I will shut up now.

    Jack is great. I dont follow his tours much, but he does tend to book shows that are mostly on the west coast and hawaii most of the time right? Does he even tour much at all?
