"A rare unplugged studio performance of 'Slow Bus Moving', Fishbone's take on emancipation of black people in the US. It was my favorite track from their Truth and Soul album. Sometime in the summer of 1988, when they were touring the Netherlands, I invited them to play in our tv show 'Fa. Onrust'. I asked them if they could play Slow Bus, and though they hardly played it in an acoustic set up, they granted my request." (c) VPRO 1988 bram van splunterenPRO
The song begins after a snippet of skankin to the beat live Sep 04 1988 @ Pop Park Festival Rotterdam, NL

  John Bigham has announced on instagram and facebook that he will be playing guitar with fishbone on the current september tour. Rocky is not on this tour as fishbone soldiers, who have seen the Portland show (first date of the tour), told us.

 Phillip Fish Fisher :

Then all of a sudden, John (JB) Bigham returned to his place amongst the body of The Bone. And it was stronger.. Then a new hope arose with a sound reminiscent of greater days. And the people waited eagerly to witness five of the Savage Seven testify with great reverence again.

PHILLIP FISH FISHER is BACK in fishbone since Nov 18 2016 at The Date Shed Indio! It was his first show with fishbone since 1998. Welcome home FISH!

http://www.fishbonelive.org/concert_archive/2016-11-18/2666/

The line-up of the Chim Chim era is also complete with the unexpected RETURN of JOHN BIGHAM for the next tour after 20 years! The most underrated fishbone member.  JB have played with fIshbone from 1990 to 1997.

FISH had played all the fishbone shows since, except the Hendrix Tribute at The Apollo in Harlem, NY  : it was John Steward on the drums that night for his "last" show with Fishbone...

JOHN STEWARD was the drummer from fishbone from 1999 to late Nov 2016. 18 YEARS! A GREAT THANK YOU to WET DADDY for all these years : you will be forever a fishbone member and a member of the familyhood !

YES, FISH & JB are BACK!

So the line-up will be Angelo Moore, Walter Kibby, Phillip FISH Fisher, Norwood Fisher, John Bigham, Rocky George, Jay Armant and Paul Hampton. Yes, 8 members.
