This was the first time i saw fishbone live,and it was still to this day the BEST live show i've attended,and i've been to at least 200 shows(not all fishbone of course.)I remember it pretty well....it was at the Lost Horizon which is a fairly small club,with a very very tiny stage that has a big pole right in the middle of the stage that holds up the ceiling....so there was barely room for them up there,they had very little room to move around.It was a sold out show,with still many people trying to get in(cuz you usually just pay at the door there)only to be turned away.Luckily i had bought tickets for this or i would have been out of luck.Unfortunately for the third guy who went with me,had not bought a ticket ahead of time and was turned away.Anyways was a killer show...about a 115 degrees in the club that night,but probably about 20 degrees outside.

Lost Horizon is a great old punk rock venue in Syracuse NY. A couple of weeks BEFORE the release of Reality Of My Surroundings, Fishbone played there with Maggie's Dream opening up.

The Lo Ho has a 6 foot deep concrete pit in front of the stage that is maybe 25 x 12 floor area and has pipe railings all around the edge. There are 2 ways in and out, and this area was totally packed before even Maggie's Dream hit the stage. I was somewhere in the middle, and it was "nutts to butts".

The temperature when Fishbone came out had to be over 100. This was the band at it's finest, most confident, and most powerful in my opinion.

I am not sure, but I think the opener was Freddie's Dead. From there it was a whirlwind which included all the new songs that none of us had ever heard. I remember at one point during "Pressure", Angelo was out over this pit, holding the mic in one hand and a sprinkler pipe in the other as he sung. It looked to me like he was being held up by a hurricane force wind.

I could write on and on about this show, and I have seen the band close to 30 times by now, but that night at Lo Ho was the most intense, tightest, best sounding, hottest, slimiest, most exhausting, Fishbone I have ever seen.

Thanks to James for the correspondence. I am the one who wrote the "Review found on the web" posted below. Funny - I posted on Fishbone.net and there it is. Way to go Fishbone Soldiers.

Anyway, this show was truly the best Fishbone show I ever saw and I saw a lot of them.

James provided the correct setlist, as the one you see here is WAY OFF.
