I was there, and I have this to say: no excuses. If Fishbone's coming
through your neighborhood (hell, if they're coming through your *state*) on
this tour, forget about everything and just go. I don't know what happened
to them, but last night, they played with more energy and intensity than
I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em a lot.

No new guitarist, but there *was* a keyboardist. I don't know who he
was--he was never introduced and I didn't have a chance to ask anybody. And
he wasn't just a keyboardist--he did background vocals and every once in a
while he'd pull out this enormous trumpet that made Walt's look like a
two-inch cock. (Or maybe it wasn't a trumpet? I'm not too good at
identifying the various brass instruments...) They've also added a second
percussionist, who sat next to Fish and didn't seem to make a whole lot of
difference.

Over the course of their two-hour set/encore, they played pretty much
everything...a good mix of shit from all of the albums. Here's the (very
extensive) set list:

Party at Ground Zero / Housework / Question of Life / Ma and Pa / Skankin'
to the Beat / Beergut / Give It Up / Sunless Saturday / Rock Star /
V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F. / Behavior Control Technician / Nutt Megalomaniac /
Sourpuss / Fishy Swa Ska / Unyielding Conditioning / Love Hate / A
Selection / Lyin' Ass Bitch / Alcoholic / "Simon Says" the Kingpin / Deep
Inside / Riot / ENCORE: Cholly / Ugly

I don't know what else to say: I saw Fishbone playing at their peak, and
I'm once again at peace with the world.
