The show itself was nothing special. John played the best I've ever seen
him play. Walt's voice seems to get stronger and stronger every show and
Spacey was definitely on fire. Highlights were Pressure, Karma and the best
version of Swim that I ever heard. When asked why they play the same
fucking songs every fucking night. I was told that they don't rehearse so
they play what they know. How sad.
Got to the show early with TeddaBonehead, talked to Angelo outside the club
for a couple of minutes about the recent changes and then he blew us off.
Guess he didn't want to talk about bad things at the moment. He confirmed
that the band would be reforming with new members in the future but said
that he had some personal creative things that he'd like to work on. I
asked if he'd consider Kendall as a replacement for Spacey, but by the look
on his face I don't think that will happen in a million years which is
definitely a good thing in my eyes.
Ted and I found our departing buddies Walt and Spacey and proceeded to the
band's mobile home for a little chat that lasted for the next 2 hours.
There's not much that I care to add to what's already been said in previous
posts. I'll only say that once again miscommunication has bitten the firm
ass of Fishbone. When pressed Walt agreed to never say never when it came
to rejoining in a couple of years. That to me was encouraging because
Fishbone (if that's what the next incarnation is called) cannot be Fishbone
without Walter Kibby.

p.s. During a solo last nite Spacey segued the Star Spangled Banner into
TAPS. How fitting.
