They should stop robbing stuff off aging, blind, African-Americans ....

[spikytom]

wait, that link doesn't seem to work, but google 'jamiroquai glastonbury' and it throws up a youtube video of what appears to be jamiroquai performing at what appears to be glastonbury!

I'd rather have Stevie Wonder than a blatant rip off.

Hence why I wrote "They should stop robbing stuff off aging, blind, African-Americans" a few posts ago.

[refriedgenes]

I think the problem with Jamiroquai was they were incredibly funky for the first 2 albums ('Planet Earth and 'Space Cowboy) but because they'd signed like a 6 album deal or something they eventually ran out of ideas within the timeframe.

just MO

Saw them a couple of times on the Pyramid stage in the 90s - both Sunday afternoons I think

They were pretty good live & really seemed to get the crowd going. They were pretty funky then but have to agree with what refriedgenes said though - after a while they seemed to run out of ideas.

Would def prefer to have Stevie Wonder though!

[dottycat2205]

they would be great to watch with a couple!!!!!! of cold brothers in the sun in the jazz field.

[Craig_G]

and if you're going to rob musical ideas from someone, it may as well be Sir Stevie.

[FunkyDenz]

And Sir Stevie proved his stealing abilities when he jammed with Jimi Hendrix, and "stole" Jimi's riffs to create Superstition.

[NeilVJ]

Would be great, prob best headlining on Jazz world. Has wrote some great tunes over the years

[BlackHole2006]

Love these guys, I would love it if they played

[eFestivals]

They've played at least once - it was the year that Channel 4 broadcast the fest (the first time it was televised I think), as I remember Jay smoking a spliff into the camera on stage and saying something like "what you gonna do with these pictures Channel 4".

I've seen them a few times in the last ten years, and they've always been superb - Jay changing the band members regularly helps keep things fresh and energetic (even if it makes him a bit of a c**t), and via the consistency that appears to achieve I'd say it makes them one of the better live acts around.

But I totally get where people are coming from with comments about their music. Regardless, they have a formula that works for what they do, and they do it better than most manage.

Bloody Hell are they still going then

[eFestivals]

Bloody Hell are they still going then

as far as I know, yup.

How else would Jay afford to keep his fleet of 5mpg flash cars topped up with fuel?

[rexclark]

I'd be very interested in seeing them live even though I'm not a huge fan.

yeah jamiroquai is great, i really don't think it matters who stole what in music.

Personally, I hate the thieves.

While Jamiroquai has been hugely influenced by certain acts (and which act isn't?), I feel that they've created something uniquely their own.
