Festival Plan: Without a doubt I'm going to go see Jack Johnson perform. I will probably try to be in the front for this performance. While I don't know his newer material as well, I've wanted to see him perform in concert for a long time now. I scored Jack Johnson 11 out of 10 which is a rank of 1 (I rated 47 artists).

*Made some fixes on 20191126 (moved "Flake" to the third song, added "At or With Me," and created an encore section). Note that one possible change I did not make is indicating "Angel / Better Together" on one line instead of having them be separated.
20140622 8:25 PM - 9:55 PM @ The Firefly Main Stage:
I was afraid that Jack Johnson would perform a lot of songs I didn't know, but ultimately he sang many which I knew and overall I enjoyed his performance. With that being said, I did get the feeling that seeing him perform now might have been a year or two late with respect to how much I enjoyed listening to his music.

*According to Wikipedia, The Band recorded the first officially released recording in 1968. A year before that, Bob Dylan made a recording of the song in collaboration with them (released on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3). In 1971, he recorded a version of the song with altered lyrics (released on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II).
**Pekarek: "They say everything can be replaced | They say every distance is not near | So I remember every face | Of every man who put me here"; Schultz: "They say every man needs protection | They say that every man must fall | Yet I swear I see my reflection | Somewhere so high above this wall"; Johnson: "Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd | A man who swears he's not to blame | All day long I hear him shouting so loud | Just crying out that he was framed."; Chorus: "I see my light come shining | From the west down to the east | Any day now, any day now | I shall be released"
YouTube Videos:
I searched YouTube for various videos of the different songs. I felt it was better not to directly link them.
