Count ‘em – This is not my first, second, or even third time seeing Jamie in concert. Yes lovelies, this is my fourth! I dig his music, his personas and the silly stage presence. The first time I saw him the ticket was 12 bucks, while last night after the success of 2 albums, that price has doubled. What can I say? He’s quite infectious and in a weird way….kinda cute.
I’ll get right to it. I was a little worried, since Philadelphia was near the end of his tour. Worried that the show would reflect natural exhaustion – nope! Last night was what a concert should be – giving people an actual show full of entertainment and just raw talent. The addition of the live band to his show magnified the soul and definitely enhanced the sound. Not much I can say will do the night justice, so it is best to check out the pictures and setlist. Most tracks were from his new album, Jim, but he also threw in several from his second hit album, Multiply.
The man is just amazing really as far as being an entertainer, musician and singer. I know it isn’t easy to bust out a meaningful, soulful ballad with a TV box on your head. That’s just how JL gets down.
Songs played…that I remember:
- Little Bit of Feel Good
- Another Day
- Multiply
- Game of Fools
- Out of My System
- Where’d You Go
- You Got Me Up
- Figured Me Out
- Wait For Me
- Green Light
- The City
- Little Bit More
