I caught Fishbone last night:

They played a short set... only six songs...

Everyday Sunshine
Just allow
Sunless Saturday
Aids & (can't spell Armegedon?)
The Suffering
Party at Ground Zero

The sound was a bit distorted (at least in the 2nd row), but they were their
usual "as tight as a mosquito's ass." I was impressed with the new members,
especially Spacey T - his guitar work was beautiful.

Most of the concert goers were still getting loaded in the parking lot. We had a
few soldiers up front, and the crowd seem to enjoy da Bone, but there was just a
vast wasteland of empty red plastic seats. A far cry from the fun partying crowd
at a club gig.

I love Fishbone and it was great to see them... and I don't want to dissuade any
soldiers from coming out... but if your a newbie - this is not a Fishbone show.
Angelo barely had time to break a sweat. If your not into STP or RHCP this show
will hardly seem worth it.

Jan's review was pretty much accurate. I was the other street teamer and one
of the 5-6 soldiers up front while they played, and while it was fun to
watch, it was sure as hell not a fishbone show. You probably know the
deal....opening band on a 3 band arena tour....

My friend and I handed out all our stickers after the band played, they were
gone in under 20 minutes. There wasn't anywhere to hang the posters, altho
we did put a few up; then security took my staple gun and told us to stop. I
have quite a stack left, so I figure I'll hang them up in record shops around
philly and stuff. I never did get to make contact with Richard Hawkins, the
tour manager whose name was on the letter I got. Altho we were told to be at
the venue at 6, the Fishbone List didn't come up to the will-call booth until
about 7:15, so we couldn't get in until then and Fishbone played at shortly
after 7:30.

The "meet and greet" which we got passes for consisted of us being escorted
backstage and into a small room with a buncha chairs and tables. Norwood and
Angelo were hanging out in there, talking to some people around them. Since
I've met them before, and I didn't have anything to say, I just hung back.
After about 20 minutes, someone came in the room and told us that the Chili
Peppers weren't gonna be able to come up tonight, and we could hang if we
want or just leave, so we left. It was fairly anticlimactic, but certainly
not something to complain about since the whole thing was free, in exchange
for about a half hours worth of "work."
