Nov 01 2002 @ Fillmore Corte Maggiore, IT

I'ts so hard to let know to other people how exciting was the Bones show here in Italy, because all my friends doen't know them (as most part of Italy)... so I'd like to share my feelings with you, the soldiers.

It was the fourth time in my life, the fourth live act of Fishbone. The place: a small village in the north of Italy, very small, in the fog and almost a ghost town as the 1st of november here is holiday and all places were closed. Me and my girlfriend arrived at 6pm: there was only me, her and the bus of the band... I was worried about the lack of audience.

Inside the club at 10 pm, few people... and Angelo who was making the dj with some cd of him. As other people, I reached him and talked a little bit... you know... for me it was great to talk with such a man, always kind and friendly... then we realized that we are 36 years old both. But he's "a little bit" more powerful, as soon as I saw him on the stage: man! he's totally crazy!!!!

Anyway, don't remember all the songs, only remember the fact that, ok, maybe there was 200-250 persons for the show, and Fishbone gave all their best, I couldn't believe it.

But it's not important how great are them, we all know. The most important thing is the feeling that I felt during the show: the greatest band in the world playing for a bunch of people, like in a party. The fact that they are traveling all Europe, a concert every day, and they are so happy to do that on the stage. The fact that I felt them as... yes! as friends, because there are no stars attitude among them.

I loved that show, and the way it makes me feel. I hope to see them as soon as possible... I'm so proud to be a Fishbone fan.

After the show, me and my girlfriend went out as soon as possible, and outside we meet Norwood running to the bus and smiling with himself. As soon as he met us, he gave us high five and he look like a very happy person. Thank you for all that, Fishbone. And for what concern you, soldiers, feel proud as me, and enjoy the show, because there are no other band around that can do that.
