I just got back from the FB/STP/RHCP show at Riverbend in Cincinnati.....
Fishbone played for about 1/2 hour. They opened with "Subliminal Fascism"
and closed with "Party At Ground Zero"--all songs in between were from
Nuttwerx--(not in any certain order) "Shaky Ground", "Karma Tsunami",
"Suffering", and "Aids and Armageddon".
Angelo jumped off the stage during "Aids and Armageddon" and went into about
the 6th row (with a CORDED mic!) climbing over chairs......
I wore my red, gold and green FB shirt to the show. I was standing at the
barricade right in front of the stage and actually made eye contact with Walt
(he looked towards me and nodded)--I guess he noticed the shirt (I only saw
ONE other person with a FB shirt). Soon after that, security made me sit
down--even though I had a 5th row seat--only a few feet from where I was
standing to begin with!
Angelo kept saying the band's name over and over during their set ("We ARE
Fishbone", etc) and told the audience to buy the new CD, if they didn't have
it already.
One thing I DID notice was that people actually stood (besides a few in front
of the stage) once the horn break for "Party At Ground Zero" started--like
they knew the song, but didn't know who did it!
FB got a good overall crowd response--even though some people had a "What IS
this?" look on their faces--the only complaint I have is that I couldn't hear
Spacey's guitar at certain times--and their set was just too short--it was
like they were just getting started and their time was up!

I agree entirely with the show review. My Friends and I (who had come to
concert because of Fishbone) were stuck in lawn seats, but we were groovin'
and yellin' all the same. I noticed that all the people that were there were
standing up and getting in to the music save the few w/ the "WTF?" look on
their face. Unfortunately, many people came in after their set and Fishbone
was left playing to a quite less than full house. Fishbone rocked - too bad
their set was so short - if their was any justice in this world Fishbone
would be headlining this tour and STP would be replaced by Weapon of Choice
ro something.
