That is an excellent review and I shared it on FB. I agree with everything you had said. As much of a Franti fan as what I am.... i left not far into his set. same old same old.... i did however get pictures of ken with Franti and was happy to see one of our own up on the box. with him. The sense I got from this Franti show was that it was a forced "happy happy joy joy". It used to be easy for him to come bouncing out on stage... and seemed greatful that he was there performing.... now, this one time I got the feeling I was watching someone who's thought is they've made it, and now, it's a "forced try". this was my own impression.... Sean Lennon was my under card favorite. being such a huge John Lennon fan, a lot of his songs reminded me of something from the '67 era, of Sgt Peppers or magical mystery.... i didn't have coin on me at the time so I begged Jead to come with me while I emptied his pockets to buy a disc from the artist tent. (I hope I remembered to pay him back) Hehehe. I figured I'd listen to it on my long drive home from mountain jam yet I chose the Grateful Dead and jam on channels on my XM radio. I also think the bringing on of Pretty lights for the latenight was a genius move. Saint didn't want to check them out so Jead and I went and both of us were pleasantly surprised.to see so many people at the venue for a dubstep act was good.

I kind of burned out on Franti two years ago after annual Mt. Jam & Red Rocks shows for several years. It was getting same old same old.
That being said, I enjoyed this year's MJ set. Maybe a two year break helped, or that he brought some of his more political work, or that Ken played such a big part. Whatever- it was fun.
I wonder, though, if some of the forced nature of the set was due to the story he told about his younger son being diagnosed a few weeks ago with a kidney disease. Being up front, it was clear that was weighing heavy - he was openly weeping during the song he wrote for his son.

That's so sad. I know a man has to make a buck and they cannot just up and cancel shows, but it's sad to be away from home when personal issues arise.
The day before, Franti looked like he was having a blast chilling at the soundboard and periodically waving his hand high in the air while Damien Marley was on stage.

I'm sure Ringo the Llama is behind this particular bit of spam.
