digging on playing guitar and sometimes it becomes more in the way then useful when you really only use it for 2-4 songs a show..

i think he likes to switch things up a little, so it won't be same thing show after show.
plus playin the guitar he can shake that booty more

I am just always so damn happy to see MOFRO, JJ could play triangle the entire set and I'd still leave the show satisfied =)
Seriosuly though, 2 of the 3 shows I saw recently featured JJ exclusively on guitar, and I can honestly say that all the shows were wonderful! JJ and the boys bring such an incredible intensity to the stage, that the audience is literally entranced by the performance, be it with JJ on paino or not:)

I hear ya hollis, what was that, Nov '03? I remember it being a surprise that he had played keys, funny how now folks expect it.

I gotta say though, certain songs just sound better with they keys imo, lochloosa, brighter days, fireflies come to mind, even newer ones like circles, on palastine, higher you climb... Just can't beat that electric piano vibe & tone.

I agree with Giggles; JJ could sing the alphabet song or London Bridges and I would walk away satisfied!!

I think we're probly gonna see a lot more of this, like he did in Dallas the other night. JJ without keys or guitar, just singing and harp.

First time I saw them...JJ had long hair & sat on a chair. He blew harp & sang.

I don't remember him even playing guitar, but my memory ain't that great, definatley no keys.

Personally I enjoy songs like Blackwater, Brighter Days, and Florida with JJ playin' keys.

But I also like Harps & Drums with just Harps & Drums.

Regardless, I'll still go see 'em live anytime!
