jason mraz playing glasto!

[Redcanadahat]

i just checked his myspace page and he has glasto down for june 26 and 27. hopefully this means he'll play two stages so i can get some double mraz loving :-)

Not really my cup of tea although im glad to see someone so enthusiastic about seeing someone at the festival normally everyone is moaning. Your excitment just might convert me, got to be good with a pint of pear cider and some good old sunshine. See you there

[ampersand]

apparently great live. will try to check him out, maybe at john peel if he plays. only been there once in my two years, and i was barely even in it.

I refer you to my earlier post...

ampersand: he really is amazing live. he freestyles a lot too and his notes are spot on. gets the crowd really involved. I've seen him in London and Brisbane and both were fantastic :-) I'm so happy he's playing glastonbury :-)

[bombfrog]

When you say "freestyling", do you mean like the bit in his first single when he starts going "doop doop doop, doo pe doo pe doo waaaa".

I hate that bit the most.

ohh no i mean he makes up songs/raps (lol) on the spot. he would ask a member of the audience to say a random word, then he'll ask several other people..and then he'll make a song about it. very clever! i know i could never do that

Get in Get in Get in!!

Ive seen him 4 times over the last 6 years and he's amazing live.

Don't try and compare him to anyone else cos he isnt like anyone else!

Why when I read this line out did I subconsciously switch to a Cartman voice?!

[Redcanadahat]

Well the two songs they've been playing on the radio sound identical to Jack Johnson to me.

Or James Morrison, or James Blunt, or Paulo Nuitini, or.........

[bombfrog]

ohhh yeah i can see where you're coming from. you need to listen to his old stuff - when he was much more um..folky i suppose. now he's gone a bit too jack johnson and i do not want! here's hoping for mainly old songs!

That's what you need to do to get a bit of chart success these days I get.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and check out an old track or two on Spotify.

[Redcanadahat]

i'm prob going to be watching him alone so if you see a small redheaded australian shout me a holla! woo!

I think I've just thought of a good use for the bottles full of the stuff found in this thread-

Poll: Slightly (well very) gross question *

hmmmm - seen him 5 times over the years, from supporting Tracy Chapman through to his last tour last year. have to say he is fantastic live, but he has definitely lost something. when he used to play acoustic just him and Toca on the jambay (sp?) they were something else - but on his last tour he had full band & horns, and the intensity & intimacy was watered down to say the least. plus he only played 4 pre-we sing, we dance, we steal things & no Mr Rand McNally! NB if you've not heard of that one, go forth and download!

not to say i won't be there with bells on, but will just be slightly reserved on judgement if it's a full ensemble again....
