Wasn't sure what to expect from the new lineup, but they didn't dissapoint.
Slightly Stoopid and Workhorse Movement opened.

Slightly played slightly too damn long and the fakin' Jamaican dancehall
styley was a bit overdone. Liked their music, didn't dig the attitude too
much. Their drummer was trippin' me out the whole show and I shortly found
out why. He puked all over the stage right before their last song. Bad
Chinese food. 'Bone didn't hit the stage until 11:30 (and this was a
Wednesday!). Maybe I'm just gettin' old.

Packed house. Holds about 350-400 tops. Angelo took a bit to get going, but
by the 3rd song he was on it. Surfin, dancin, getting people up on stage.
Walt was pretty mellow but on it with vocals and horn. New members had it
goin on, but couln't help looking at them as some sort of hired musicians.
Didn't seem like Fishbone unless you just looked at Angelo, Norwood or Walt.
Can't say they couldn't play, just seemed a little weird. Spacey is a great
guitar player and didn't miss a thing. I thought Steward was tight as well
and better than what I'd been reading. He nailed some of the more difficult
Fish chops. McKnight was great. Zero stage presence (Chris always had great
stage presence), but his trombone playing was soo damn good! The horns
overall were insanely tight. When all was said and done they had played for
2 hours! Great mix of old and new. Highlights: Wish I Had A Date (hadn't
seen it live in years), Cholly (as always), One Planet People (slower, but
rock steady), Behavior Control (just a kick ass song), Weed Plant (just
angelo and spacey - very cool). Big surprise was how good Aids & Arm
sounded. It was very tight. Here's the list:
- Party
- Question
- All Kept Startin'
- Cholly
- Suffering
- Problems
- Bonin'
- Beergut
- Just Allow
- Ugly
- Ma and Pa
- Pants
- Wish I had a date
- One Planet
- Unyielding
- Aids & Arm
- Freddy's Dead
- Sunless
- Behavior Control
- Subliminal

All in all another great show! Hung with Walt a bit. Asked about the Chili
tour. Said they were into it, but didn't know much about it, like where they
were playing and when.
