Unless you have been living under a rock, then you know that future funk/acid jazz legend Jamiroquai has returned with new music after a seven-year layoff, with the ultra-hyped album Automaton. The highly anticipated tour in support of the album began this evening at Paris, France’s Salle Pleyel, and it appears Jay Kay & Co. most certainly delivered a high-powered performance, with a tasteful touch of both older and new tracks.
The ever-so-slightly stripped down unit, sans horn section, provided those in attendance with plenty of opportunities to get down and join in the magic happening on stage. Jamiroquai opened the show with new numbers “Shake It On” and “Automaton” before making their way into “The Kids” from 1994’s Return of the Space Cowboy.
Tracks such as “Space Cowboy,” “White Knuckled Ride, and “Cloud 9” witnessed plenty of crowd participation as Jamiroquai effortlessly worked the room. “Canned Heat” and “Love Foolosophy” closet out the set proper, with the group coming back for a “Supersonic” encore with a deep groove percussion jams. If this upcoming tour can be gauged from just one show, then fans of Jamiroquai can expect a very enjoyable summer and fall. Check out some videos from the performance below.
