08/14/2011 Jonny Lang @ Red Butte Gardens

Went to Red Butte Gardens (http://www.redbuttegarden.org/) to see Jonny Lang the other night, and really enjoyed the opening act... Their name was JJ Gray and the Mofro's, I think they said they were from Jacksonville, FL. - they were really great!

Jonny on the other hand, seemed to be... I don't know - depressed/sad/lost? He dragged each song out, and changed them so much that at times I wondered if he had forgotten what song he had started to play... but when he got it right, he got it right - the man can sing and play!!!  But sorry to say, it was not his best performance - this is the third time we have attended one of his concerts, and we were a little confused with the new format.  People left early... I heard others yelling "pick it up" as it was so slow moving (which his music is usually not).  Anyway, I hope he is OK, and he gets it back on track!  Really liked his sister's voice (she sang back up for him this time round).  We stayed until the very end, and that was good, as he left the very best for last!

The night was wonderful anyway... good friends, good food & drink, good friendly crowd, and warm wonderful summer weather... well that is until the ride home, then the wind and rain kicked in - at least it waited until after the concert :-)
