Some 17,500 soggy fans turned out Wednesday for Jack Johnson's first concert in Tampa, at the 1-800-Ask-Gary Amphiteatre. And despite the drizzle -- and Johnson's lack of stage banter -- things were as mellow as you might expect, writes reviewer Sean Daly:

Backed by a groovin' three-piece band (they'll clean your gutters for $50), the 35-year-old Hawaiian opened his predictably lush, laid-back two-hour show with the song Banana Pancakes, which is about forgoing the outside world, lovin' it up inside and, well, enjoying a warm, delicious breakfast.

It may sound silly, frivolous, but therein lies the JJ magic: He is not about rocking you out, but rocking you into a smiling stupor. You can wave him off as boring, but you're not paying attention.
