Yeah Jump, he did, and it was 11 minutes of amazing. Played for ages, about 2 hours I reckon. Tried to remember all the songs the day after, and I reckon they played at least 21 songs, which is crazy. Three-song encore. And they (the trio + Josh Pike) covered The Times They Are A Changing by Dylan during the encore. Opened with Used To Get High and closed with Funky Tonight, but yeah a great mix of older stuff too. Awesome.

Saw him again in March, at WOMADelaide, amazing again. His version of Ocean was breath-taking. (And not in the Seinfeld way.)

I heard this for the first time a week or so back & was super impressed. That is saying something sice folk/roots is not exactly my cup of tea.

I was just introduced to Ocean and wow. that's all I can say. I'm looking into the back catalog, most likely will purchase this first.

Same with Sunrise over Sea, I felt this was a bit more accessible than Three but it lost some of its charm. Still a good album though, and damn Funky Tonight is catchy! It was also BRILLIANT live.

More people here need to check JBT out immediately. The guy is amazing, Used To Get High and Funky Tonight obviously are groovy.
