With Shakira - 2010



Ellen DeGeneres Show w/ Shakira - April 28, 2010 - "Gipsy". Jim on keyboard in the background. Pretty blurred so... strictly for the record. It's national TV after all.

Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - "Inevitable/Si Te Vas" - very short, but gives you an idea how it's with Shakira on stage.

Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - "Gipsy" or... "Gitana" in Spanish. The scenes where Jim is playing banjo! Rare sight - you have to agree. Very cool. Also, it's a very good performance of Shakira. Here is the YouTube link if you want to check the whole song.

Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - "Underneath Your Clothes" - just a couple of short  Jim close-ups; but really cool. Nice to see him on stage again.

Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - "Whenever, Wherever". You can see Jim grooving. Well of course... It's one of the top 3 best selling singles of the past decade.

Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - "Ciega, Sordomuda" or "Blind, Deaf and Mute"-  the part where Jim jams with Shakira (which is pretty awesome) and a few other Jim scenes

and Rock In Rio - Lisbon w/ Shakira - May 21, 2010 - The first clip is parts of "My Hips Don't Lie" and the second clip is parts of "She Wolf", "Mi Gordita" and another one which name escapes us. Jim is mainly in the background, but he is wearing a screaming red tee and is easy to spot. He is obviously having fun.

Rock In Rio - Madrid w/ Shakira - Jun 5, 2010 - "Sale el Sol" - Very good quality, Jim scenes only. He plays acoustic guitar. Says Jim:"The crowd was in the neighborhood of 80K people! It was a great show - we didn't start until 1:30am!" Enjoy!

Rock In Rio - Madrid w/ Shakira - Jun 5, 2010 - "Te Dejo Madrid" and "Inevitable" - Jim only, mostly in the background.  Scrictly for the record. Actually, the end is pretty cool, Jim rocking out. Plus Shakira really puts on a very energetic show, so worth watching. We already said that somewhere here, didn't we?

World Cup Kick Off Concert w/ Shakira - Johannesburg, South Africa - Jun 10 , 2010: Shakira's mega-hit, "Hips Don't Lie". No closeups of Jim, but you can see him in the background most of the time, playing, singing, shouting ("Si! Si! Shakira, Shakira") claping, dancing... and having a blast. Enjoy!

World Cup Kick Off Concert w/ Shakira - Johannesburg, South Africa - Jun 10 , 2010:  "Waka, Waka", the World Cup anthem, brought the show to a rousing climax. Watch for a couple of secs of Jim at 0:12, before he gets hidden; but this is such fabulous performance of Shakira and the local talent; that it's worth watching the whole thing. To have Jim part of this is so freaking cool!

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  "Si Te Vas" ("If You Go"), in its entirety.  A very energetic performance, Shakira style. Jim (playing his precious Fender Tele Blonde) is shown throughout the clip and has a little 'moment' groving with her. The 120,000 crowd shots are amazing.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  "Whenever, Wherever" - Shakira's signature song. In the second part, you can actually hear Jim sing, which is pretty cool, considering that the huge crowd is singing along too.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  "Ojos Asi"  (or in the English version "Eyes Like Yours") - the whole song again. Quite entertaining performance of Shakira's (where she shows her Arabic roots more than usual)  and Jim fussing with his pedal board and tuning his guitar mid song and  what not. As we said, quite entertaining.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  Whole "Underneath Your Clothes" - we really do not have the heart edit those clips.  This is a beautiful ballad and you can see Jim throughout the song.  Check out the almost 360 pan starting at 00:30 that shows how huge that thing was.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  "She Wolf".  We think that there is some lip synching going on. Maybe not. Anyway, not bad. Check out another Jim moment with Shakira around 2:30.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  "Gordita".  Edited, Jim parts only. Strictly for the record. We are not fans of rap and also, remember this?

K&M: Least favourite music genre?
Jim:   Things without melody and chord changes.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010:  Entire "Waka Waka" or "Waka Waka" in any language. Soccer is not exactly Jim's favourite sport, but we are sure that he enjoyed himself performing this in front of 80,000 English soccer fans. It's good that the concert was that day, as England lost to Germany the next day and were ousted from the World Cup.

Glastonbury Festival w/Shakira - Pilton, England - Jun 26 , 2010: "Hips Don't Lie". Ok, not exactly Jim relevant but... did you know that this 2006 song (and Shakira's biggest hit so far)  is a cover of  Wyclef Jean's (The Fugees) "Dance like This" from 2004?  Oh... and:

Friend: I just have one question....do your hips lie?
Jimmy McGorman: Never!!!
