ok fixed haha...haven't seen him, but have heard great things

[SeekUpTheCubs]

They played great in Chicago. I'd be excited if you're going

[Fatoldsun]

It was great stuff at IZOD.

[BruceW]

why did someone in the Toronto thread just say they covered DMB songs...no way right?

[crounsa810]

Jimmy Cliff was awesome at IZOD.


For a 65 year old, he moves better than I do at 22.

Never heard of him before the show, but his "Rivers of Babylon" was the tits.

[Jtr132]

After Izod night 2 he got me to download his bonnaroo show.

[crounsa810]

I actually really wanna see him again. He was awesome

[pathetic]

worth seeing then? or worth paying $3 less per beer at the bar?

[Kevinbstbll9]

I'm going to make a point to get in to see him on Sunday, my dad was all excited about Jimmy Cliff opening he almost wanted to buy a ticket . Figure this means I should check him out!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I wouldn't have been in there unless I was on the floor. I'd say worth it to get in there early.


Can't wait for Lumineers in Brooklyn.

Correct. He did not cover any DMB tonight.

Awesome though. Jimmy Cliff is one strange man.

I seen him in Louisville and I would go for the $3 cheaper beer, no disrespect intended. Setlist aside, I think he is the kinda artist you either like or you don't. I dont have anything bad to say about him, he was legit. He is one of the pioneers of reggae music from the early 60's so that gives him a bit of a legendary status but still, you either like it or you dont. Check him out on youtube or something and see what you think.

Jimmy Cliff is a living legand, DO NOT miss him.

[FIREDANCERZ]

I was there for his set in Louisville and he was alright.. Not really my kind of music but I mean for their style I guess it was good... But I would get the $3 cheaper beer for sure...

[typicalstone40]

if you liked the movie Cool Runnings you will enjoy seeing him

[davetripping02]

I was just watching the new Bob Marley movie and there pops up Jimmy Cliff. Was cool to see.

[LAA1305]

Knew of him and his history, but didn't know his music before last night. Went in early just for the hell of it and thought it was definitely worth it.

Not really my kind of music and, had I listened to him on YouTube before yesterday, I probably wouldn't have gone in early. But I'm glad I did, he put on a pretty decent show.

[itallcomescheap]

Does anyone have any videos of him playing in Boston last night?

seems like im in the minority, but i wasn't diggin him at all. it could have been the middle age drunk bitch who kicked over one of my $9 beers though. im also not that interested in the lumineers from the few songs ive heard but everyone has been talking highly so ill go in with open ears at brooklyn.

[Useliteski]

my dad stole my weed and rolled himself a joint for jimmy cliff. didn't find out until he sent me a picture on my phone of the lit joint in his hand. anyway, he said he was great.

[pathetic]

did not enjoy jimmy cliff. saw the last 3 songs of his set and didn't get it...
