"What's up?" "All right." "That was beautiful." "Give it up for Zach Gill right here on the accordion." "Oh, yeah." "Give me something." "Oh, yeah." "Sometimes if somebody comes up to me and once they get a photograph or my signature and my older boy is with me he kind of trips out on them a little bit and sort of asks why..." "Like, " How come they wanted to get their picture with you?" and stuff and..." "It's always kind of hard to explain, but the thing I always try to tell him it's because the songs that we play are about love that that makes people feel good." "That's how I always explain it to my son, at least, is that the theme of love is what attracts people." "I've got chanting children in the back." "And you see that little spot right here?" " TinkerBell?" " Yeah." "Hi." "Getting there." "They're worried about the lightning, but I said, don't worry about it." "What do you guys think?" "You guys worried about the lightning?" "I think that meant, "We'll see you in 10 minutes."" "Decadent right here, man." " Having a break?" " Big dessert." "Have some dessert, man." "We should be serving that." "Little intermission." "We eat a little dessert." " We'll go back out and finish the set." " Our crowd's so cool, though." " They're so cool about..." " I know." "Like, as soon as it started..." "Like, there was a point when we were doing "Static" and Jack went into the solo, and, like, the wind just started, like..." "I looked out at the audience, and everyone was like:" "You know?" "Yeah, it was crazy." " I felt like my solo was drowned..." " Yeah, exactly, yeah." "Let's get going." "Let's get going." "Let's get going." "What was the deal with "Go On"?" "Or did a lightning strike, and got them psyched?" "I think that was..." "I don't know." "There was a huge lightning strike during that." ""Go On"?" "Right when I started delivering some chords, they all started clapping." "Couldn't get a fire." "The generator's knocked out." "Tell you what I wanna fire up." " Yeah." " Those Nacho Cheese Doritos." "Here we go." "That's all it took." " Hey." "Looking good out here." " Hey." "How we doing?" "Hey." "Having a great time." "You just dictate." "I'd like to dedicate this song to all those birds back there flying around." "He's good, yeah." "Better than me." "I was hitting the wrong chords." "It's half the fun of coming to the city  is just finding some of your favorite drum shops." "And you just play something that feels good, you know?" "The new stuff is fun, but, like see that one up there with the little baseball-bat handle?" "That's the most recorded snare drum in history." "The first time I met Jack, he was in an old beat-up car and the trunk, I remember the trunk wouldn't stay open." "And then I think he had this acoustic that his mom got him." " Yeah." " That I hope he still has." "I mean..." "I remember touring, and he just had that one guitar and I had one of this teeny drum sets." "And Merlo showed up with the bass and no amp." "And we had our gear piled up in this little pile." "And we were lucky enough to open for Ben Harper." "Their tour manager's like, "Well, where's the rest of your stuff?"" "And we're like, "That's it." And he kind of laughed at us." "My goal is just to have as good a time as I can." "He's got all these people." "It's so intense, you know." "When the show starts, all these cameras and stuff are on him." "And I feel for the guy, and I'm like, it's like an intense thing, you know." "So I feel like I'm kind of a release valve." "Like, he can look over at me and be like:" ""We're having a good time, right?" "This is all pretty normal, really."" "I'm kind of like Jack's comic foil." "There's been times where I'm on stage, and I can't even look." "I've seen him do some dance moves that impressed me you know, like, pseudo-Michael Jackson kind of things that are actually kind of impressive." "But then I've seen other times where I can't even believe what he's doing in front of that many people." "As a friend, I get kind of just like, "Oh, no, what are you doing?"" "He picked up a cane somewhere along the way  one of the cities we were in." "And some nights, it's kind of classy." "And other nights, he just does this sort of, like, old-man dance." "I have one that I debuted the other day that was an older one that I kind of had brought back." "It's called the Dutch windmill." "It kind of involves..." "All my limbs are sort of flying." "And then I did a gay unicorn the other night." "It's kind of like a gallop with, like, a little hand thing." "Part of my job is to, like, wake him up and be, like, "Dude, this is awesome." "We're here, together." "Let's jump through the ring of fire."" "So are you ready?" " I'm ready." " At your service." "And they will come." "He got my chin." "It's amazing." "I love it." "And I like this kind of Eiffel Tower lady there." "Thank you." "Thank you for that." "It's been neat to watch him have all this success and then come back together." "He's just stayed so grounded through all of it." "It's amazing." "It's a universal sound, something people come to just because of the way it feels." "But then through it, you start to hear his messages, and they're a lot heavier." "Watergate Bay, your perfect summer evening." "Saturday, the 5th of July." "Atlantic FM proudly presents Jack Johnson live  back in Cornwall to perform his best love songs  and newest material." "One of the world's favorite artists  in Cornwall's music event of the year 2008." "Where were those going like this?" "Let's look and see what's it's gusting to." "We have a meter per second but..." "Yeah, can we get away?" "I'm joined in the studio now by Mr. Jack Johnson." "Now, we've had a little chat a moment ago about the gig and the fact that, unfortunately, for tonight it has been cancelled." "Yeah, you would've seen it tonight if the show wasn't unfortunately cancelled due to the wind." "Once again, I wanna say sorry." "Sorry to everybody who weren't able to come." "This is live radio, folks." "This is very live radio." "If you just joined in, you're listening to Atlantic FM." "And you probably know that, unfortunately, the Jack Johnson, G. Love gig tonight is cancelled due to the weather." "So they brought the gig to the studios." "And that's what's going on, basically." "So we've got about four guys with guitars and harps." "And everything's going on in the studio." "They're playing some songs." "I'm not sure what's coming up next, really." "Well, it was..." "You were close." "It was actually the Jack Johnson  G. Love, Mason Jennings, Neil Halstead gig, so..." " All right." "Rolling?" " We're rolling." " Are we live?" " We're live." " Yo." " Hello." "How you guys doing?" "We got a couple of us in the room here." "Feel bad we weren't able to play a show for you tonight because of the wind." "Just wanted to play some songs for you right now." "Well, this is probably a good song to play in the hopes that tomorrow we'll be greeted by a nice, sunny day, right?" " Maybe a rainbow in the morning." " Nice sunny day." " And then a hot gig at night." " All right, here we go." "Three lanes down this way." "Absolutely amazing." "I've gotta say, thank you very much  to Jack Johnson and everyone there performing." "I've gotta say, how on earth do I follow them?" "Hello." " Hey, man, you're on." " Oh, cool, cool." " Go on now." " Yeah, I'm gonna use it to go on." "Guys, guys." " Come on, you guys ready?" " Gemma." "Gem, I need that filter." "How are you?" "So nice to see you." "All right." "Here you go." "This is an incredible record." "It's Lee Perry." "This is one of those..." "When we met, we kind of talked about the stuff that we all liked musically and we took the songs that he had that was more folk-based and then we tried to pull influences from other kinds of genres and pull them into his stuff and make it work." "Basically, it's a blend of a lot of soul and Jamaican stuff." "It's kind of like if you took Marley and Hendrix and the Meters and mixed it together." "That's basically our group point family." "Do you wanna hear Zach sing one?" "I'll wait for you." "There's something so similar to, like, when we first started out." "Still, the same vibe applies." "We just try to stay true to what we do." "I think as time went on, the more shows we played, we stepped up as a team  as, like, a musical unit  and were able to kind of hit a little bit hard." "And not in a way that stepped on the songs but just in a way that made it for kind of a more full sound live." "It's such a funny thing, because you're taking this music basically done  in front of the ocean and the waves  and translating that somehow on a stage somewhere in the middle of nowhere." "How are you gonna stay true to the music, yet, you know, play to a big crowd?" "How you doing, mate?" "Thank you, guys, so much for being here with us tonight." "Thank you." "The first time I met him, you know, he wasn't a singer, you know?" "He was kind of like..." "He was trying to, like, get me to sing his song." "He always had a great voice, but he was kind of shy about it." "The fact that he is such a good singer but he came at it from this kind of, like, subtle, humble place that's partially what makes it so naturally soulful." "The song "Better Together," I mean, that's a kind of trippy thing for me because it pretty much..." "Out of all the songs I've written I feel like that one is the one that's grown into something a little further beyond any of the other ones." "It's neat to think that that song means something to a lot of people." "Because to me, it was just really a song that I wrote  feeling really good one day with my wife  and it just came real simply." "And I like the fact that it's a song that's..." "To me, probably the most positive song I've written  just as far as the message of the song." "And that's the one that people dig on." "We'll see you next time." "Thank you all so much."
