Feb 08 1997 @ House of Blues Chicago, IL

I went to the show last nite. It was awesome! Of Course. However, I have not seen them perform for this long in a quite a while. They started at 11:00pm and went to about 1:30am. Straight Energy all the way through. They did a real good balance of old/new material. Angelo did a new poem(maybe a song) that he and John B. wrote. Something about" I'm gonna act like my bald-head friend and take to the sky and fly fly fly". It sounds like a Seal reference although the song is not about him. You can maybe hip everybody up on this new song. Oh yeah, the vendors sold out all the stuff (even Angelo's poetry book) except these baby t-shirts with a Chim-Chim picture on it. I took a friend who never saw them before and I think she is hooked now.

Also, I was at the the HOUSE OF BLUES as well...great show, Mike did you see me?I had a Fishbone shirt on dude! You couldn't have missed me! Seriously though, if you were checking out Norwood I was on the opposite side of the stage, so unless you were one of those oversized individuals who kept swimming around (everyone had to help them) then i probably didn't see you.

sick ass show, i walked out with black eye though, caught an elbow from an enthusiastic fan....good times. first time i saw fish playin' drums with his back to the fans and the band, he did not even glance at the stage while playing, strange i thought at the time, last time i saw him play with the bone.
