Well Popper and the boys rocked the house with a powerful 3 hour jam session, that included Run Around, Hook, Say Anything, and a very Jammy John Lennons Imagine. They also teased a Beck song, and referenced Bonnaroo being 8 days away.
John Popper threw about 5-8 harps out to the audience. The band gave away drumsticks and signed autographs after the show. John even bought a blues traveler t-shirt for some drunk girl who couldn't afford it after asking for it, and then getting him to sign it. He actually handed the lady at the merch tent 20 bucks, and said just let her have it. (i'm sure its his money anyways)
John did answer a few questions about Roo!! He thinks his time slot sucks but ohh well. "we will reward the die hards"
He is performing in the superjam 1:00am and on!
And his band is not the VIP exclusive pre party band! But he will be over to share some food if he has the chance.
It was a really smokin show. Joe Purdy opened and he rocked as well. Kind of a Damien Rice -John Butler Trio type. All in All definitly worth 22 bucks, and was no more then 200 people present. And since, There is no way I'm seeing BT over Beck, Gomez, Les, and Cypress....I sure am glad I got to see their full set tonight!
If your a Blues Traveler fan....Go see there set. If your a John Popper fan, wait until the SuperJam!!!!
That's really cool to hear. I'm definately gonna have to see a good portion of thier set and maybe catch the end of Beck. Popper at Superjam though, huh. That probably means some of the guys from Moe will be there to then. Excitement is brewing ;D
If Popper plays the Super Jam, I'll be real happy. There's no way I can skip Beck and Gomez for Blues Traveler, but at least getting to see John perform would make up for it.
I can't understand why they wouldn't have put Blues Traveler on early Sunday. It would have been a perfect spot for them.
