Jack Johnson: En Concert

I admit that I only discovered Jack Johnson last year through one of my friends. I went out and bought all of his CDs the very next day. I thouroughly enjoy his music and have eagerly shared it with several of my friends. When I heard that there would be a Blu-Ray version of his concert in Europe, I was thrilled to be able to watch his concerts so I bought it. I must say that I expected a true concert on this BD but was a bit disappointed at what it actually contained. This isn't a true concert; it is similar to what I have read his other DVDs are: part concert and part documentary. We see Jack surfing, eating, and interacting with his band. All of this is woven into Jack's concerts. Though it isn't what I was hoping to watch, the docu-concert is stull enjoyable and fun to watch. It is a downer that most of the songs are cut off to show clips of Jack and his band talking or interacting. So if you're looking to watch Jack's European concert in this BD, you won't get it in it's entirety. If you are looking to watch Jack Johnson and listen to some of his material then by all means grab this BD and enjoy it!

I like to throw on musical Blu-rays to listen to when I am making/eating dinner. It's good when they are just one concert playing through so that way you can easily put on a song you like or just listen to one song after another. Some of the better blu-rays in this genre are Dave Mathews, Chris Botti, Keane and John Mayer.This Jack Johnson blu-ray is more of a documentary which follows Jack on the European leg of his tour. It's interesting to watch the first time but after that you just kinda want to hear the music and don't need to hear the stories or see some of the events over and over and over. In that way it's more like a movie and I think owning movies is stupid. You watch something once and then you don't need to watch it again for a long long time. There are a number of good musical tracks on this Blu-ray but I wish it was just one straight forward concert instead of pseudo indie-docu-film. I also don't like the washed out effect the director choose to go with it, it doesn't do the HD capabilities of blu-ray and my 50 inch plasma any justice. Also, alot of the songs are cut short/abbreviated towards the end of the film.This is great if you are Jack Johnson fan. For the rest I would say rent it, watch it once, and look to buy other blu-rays for music.

don't let the 1 star reviews prevent you from purchasing this blu ray, it is awesome. someone said there is too much footage of driving in cars and blah blah blah... i really disagree, the blu ray shows songs from several venues throughout europe. What other reviewers considered boring i really enjoyed. you get a feel of the local atmosphere where jack plays his shows. in one scene he starts jammin with a group of musicians on the street, its really cool. like i said dont let the one star reviews stop you. awesome concert... my only complaint is that it's only like an hour and 20 minutes. for the same price dave matthews and tim reynolds give us 3.5 hrs of blu ray. still worth the 15 tho(for the record i have almost 500 blu rays and this is the first time ive ever felt the need to put a review on amazon because it was being unfairly rated)

GREAT AND A CLASSIC

I bought this for my brother's birthday because he is a huge Jack Johnson fan. He's always listened to the en concert cd, but hasn't gotten his hands on this dvd. The quality was pretty awesome and the product arrived within only two days of purchase. Pretty much the dvd is just a concert of Jack Johnson for those of us who haven't had the pleasure of being able to see him live. A lot of people complain that this isn't a documentary, but to me, the title clearly says its a concert. So I wasn't disappointed. I got exactly what the packaging told me I would get.

The image quality could be better, sound quality is ok.The songs are from different concerts. You can also find different information.I'm a fan of Jack Johnson and I like his music, so I recommend this Blue Rayalthough the image quality is not the best.

This is a perfectly Jack Johnson film. It takes us on a musical road trip with Jack Johnson and his band through Europe. It has an independent film feeling--very artistic.Those who don't like it don't know his work. Besides one of the great song writers of our time, Jack is also a film maker. This film fits right in with the style and message that is Jack Johnson.Get it.

This is a great DVD/Blueray for any fan of Jack Johnson. It was great that they incorporated raw footage of the cities the band traveled to as well as some of their extracurricular activities while on tour. Beautiful footage combined with Jack's relaxing soundtrack makes this a must have. I'm not sure what these one star reviewers were expecting.

There's much to like about Jack and his music. His band is relaxed andinformal, providing easy listening music to smile along to. There aremany clever licks and lines that are all too familiar.Familiarity, I think makes this DVD up there, but not the greatest.Earlier concert DVDs took my innocence and captured my interest. Thisis more of the same. For the uninitiated, this is a solid choice.Insights into the culture of the band and it's leader are worthwhile.

The DVD of 'en concert' is a creative and interesting insight into Jack and co.'s touring. You see his natural ability to perform and his good nature come shining through. I have watched the DVD several times, and find it just as engrossing every time.

Jack Johnson is genus PUR aber diese DVD mit einer Mischung zwischen LIVE Auftritten rund um den Globus und Blicken hinter die Bühne lässt jeden im Wellen Rhythmus mit schwingen...einfach nur Entspannung für die Seele in der besten Art und Weise

Il ne s'agit pas de la captation d'un concert unique mais du récit de la tournée européenne de Jack Johnson avec, bien sûr, de larges moments "live".On voit la complicité entre musiciens et la simplicité de Jack Johnson, son contact avec les gens qui le reçoivent pour un concert ou qu'il croise lors de la tournée.Tout est beau: le jeu des guitares, les invités sur scène et le naturel de Jack Johnson.

Ich sammle leidenschaftlich Musik DVD's von Konzerten. Diese DVD ist ein loser zusammenschnitt von Songs bei verschiedenen Konzerten. Da kommt einfach kein Feeling rüber. Eine Steigerung während des Konzertes findet nicht statt, ich habe die ganze Zeit auf das große Finale gewartet. Zudem ist fast der ganze Film in schwarz/weiß gedreht. Der Regisseur wollte wohl etwas Besonderes machen, hat das Ganze aber meiner Meinung nach total versaut. In Farbe wäre die DVD wesentlich schöner anzusehen. Die Tonqualität ist nur mäßig, die CD`s klingen deutlich besser. Sorry, für so etwas kann ich nur einen Stern geben.
