feb 19th-Jars of Clay; Feb 24th-Switchfoot

hey Guys,

I never attend concerts..but this week i went to two!

Jars of Clay was fantastic. Although i don't have any of their newer albums....I only really enjoyed 30% of the concert. Actually there was a section of 3 songs where I almost fell asleep. Shh... don't tell anyone.

Their renditions of some classic songs were just as inspiring from the first time I heard them several years ago. I acutally use to listen to Jars before I was a believer... i never really understood the lyrics until I gave my life to Christ...then songs like"Flood"..."Frail" took an even deeper relevance to my life. They are quite talented musicians! - mundane dressers though ;-P





Switchfoot on was like night and day to jars. They were much more energetic especially with Johnathan jumping on speakers, singing ontop of balcony ledges, playing 6 different guitars and landing some great one liners. He had a few people come on stage to join the band too.

I still don't understand their current album "Oh Gravity" But great nonetheless. I enjoy Switchfoot's ability to make Christianeze into powerful poetic word pictures: "crooked souls"..."amateur lovers"...."hoping that he is meant for more.."
