If Justin Tim brought sexy back, Jason Raz brought hippie back.
That boy's carefree and uninhibited nature on a big stage (which he claims its his first foray into playing at such big venues) was super infectious. "Do you feel like your life has been elevated?" he asks...oh yes. 'Specially when we get to belt out "I....ayyy ayyy...won't worry my life awayyy.." ad nauseum as he spins into an extended live version of The Remedy...oooh he's got the poison AND he's got the remedy.
Looked like he felt at home on stage, at one point taking his pet hobby of polaroids on the road with him as he snapped pictures of each band members and flung each polaroid film into the crowd. Nice souvenir for the one who caught the polaroid of Mr Mraz himself!
Even though at points, I wished I was in a cozier intimate acoustic setting with certain slow burners like "Mr Curiosity", the show was simply satisfying to watch a performer whose enjoyment of his own music reeks through the pores of each high note he reached, each "thank you's" in different languages after each song, each cheeky lil dance moves that seduces the crowd, each tune, each smile, each wonderment he managed to fill up the stadium.
Many more stadiums to fill and I hope he comes back!
Enjoy the vid!
