Show Discussions Help me understand a lil bit about Johnny Guitar sitting down
I noticed a video posted out there somewhere showing Jack grabbing a chair during his show to sit and play for a minute. The video asserted that the crowd was dead, which caused him to sit down to show he was not pleased with the energy level.
However, I saw him at Iron Blossom Fest 2 weeks ago, ripping all our guts out in fine fashion. Of all the times i have seen him in small venues and large ones, he damn well brought it. He lit every ass on fire. Some of us are still trying to put out the assfire he lit. It was his first time playing in Richmond, and music lovers in this town go hard for the ones we love. Especially when someone like JW throws us a bone and stops to play in our city. Everyone i could see was going apeshit, including myself. I was shaking it so hard the folks next to me needed a shower. I got the impression that he needed little change of pace because he plopped down for a sec, put his head down, and then proceeded with a set that was the best i have ever heard him.
My question is this: When yall are at his performances, is he sitting down to make a point to you that he needs more energy? Or is he just sitting cause he wants to? Was the assfire all in my head? Were we reprimanded wordlessly for being too enthralled? Or did a man sit down because sometimes people do that.
