I was also there, drove up from Jacksonville, FL. You stole my thunder a little with the setlist. I guess I wasn't the only one silly enough to write it down. But hey, it helps me relive some of the highlights of the show. I agree with you about the energy and sound of the show. I don't get the chance to see them often, but it was the best I've ever seen them. The crowd wasn't big, but they all seemed to enjoy themselves. If I'd have known what you looked like, I'd have said hello at least. I think I was the only one there with a Fishbone tee. The club let me set in on their soundcheck, and neither the employees or the band minded at all. Got an extra 90 minutes of the bone for no extra charge. Songs covered there, as I recall, included: Subliminal Fascism, Dear God, Everybody Is a Star, Naztee Mayen, and some unnamed heavy as hell ska, funk-metal number that I know Spacey was just lovin. Angelo was directing traffic over the whole event, but not in a domineering sort of way. He seems like the ultimate professional when it comes to his art. He even moved John out of the way and pounded the drums for about 10 minutes. I knew I shoulda brought my camcorder. They wouldn't have minded a bit. Also got to spend about 30 minutes outside the club with Angelo, just talking like we've known each other for years. Though I've met him twice before, this was different. I basically had his undivided attention, and vice versa, for 1/2 an hour. It was intense, but not in an intimidating sort of way. This would never happen with any other performer you could probably ever meet. We talked about plenty other than music, and it was something I'll never forget. I have now met all the current band members and like them all, but Angelo is the shit. He made my night. Angelo, Wood, and John McKnight all came out and mingled after the show, after playing for 21/2 to 3 hours. Walt and Spacey never made it out. Wood was his usual friendly, goofy self, and all 3 were willing to sign whatever you asked, even shirt covered breasts. Oh, before I forget, for all you hockey fans out there, McKnight sported a kick ass dark green Dallas Stars jersey. Outside of the Penguins, they are my adopted favorite hockey team.. Great looking jersey. Sorry for the length of this, but I thought it was worth sharing. Great, great show. I'm glad I didn't talk myself out of going.

I took a road trip to Charleston this past weekend to hang out and check out the Fishbone Show as well. You've all had a rundown of the show already, so I'll refrain from long winded specifics. Suffice to say it was a good show. Unfortunately I had to cut out at the beginning of the first encore because of other obligations, so I missed the end. Does anyone know who the opening band wa...
