the curbside prophets

just got back from copley symphony hall. total miles driven: 231.

my first concert, and it was awesome. makana and raul midon opened for mraz and they were hella good. raul was more of a r&b jazz soul type of guy, and first thing that crossed my mind was: blind brian mcknight with a guitar. not exactly my type of music, however. makana on the other hand, was a great opener. he did some poi, which supposedly some food? but he said it's music? i have no idea, i'm lost. but the way he played the guitar was hella awesome. with fingers, palm, back of the palm, arm, leg. seriously.

then jason appeared and started playing some crazy songs. i was pleased that i get to see god moves through you live. jason started out with plane goes down, which didn't sound like it until he got to the first verse of it. 0% interest with toca and his brother carlos was also awesome, i'm also very pleased to be able to see that song played live. the best part was when jason, makana, and midon played together; that was some beautiful music through my ear, i'm tellin ya. then before they left all five of them (plus jen lowe and DJ necksnapp) did some acapella of the curbside prophets.

and now i'm back again here in the city of angels.
