Yeah ! 2 hours and a half of Fishbone... That is great !

But... I did not enjoy this show as I enjoyed the show at "l'Ouvre Bo?te", the saturday before. The sound wasn't good this time, certainly due to the room itself, and Torrel's guitar was too loud, almost covering the voices and totally erasing Rocky's guitar... (reminding me the "Furia Festival" in 2002... same chaotic sound)

I was a little bit afraid when Angelo came on the stage, because he looked like... "flying", in another world... not drunk, or not only drunk, but strange. He made no speech about Fishbone Soldiers and the band started directly with a song... Perhaps he noticed that there was probably not a lot of Soldiers in the place... The audience was strange too, no warm, no real enthousiasm... weird. But two songs later, Angelo "landed" and began to be just like everytime, GREAT ! The 2 Dre were great too, simulating a fight in the crowd during "Alcoholic", Angelo went to bring them back on stage and then they made some wrestling... very funny !

The band made long long versions of several songs. Wet Daddy is a machine !!! He maintained the rythm of "Servitude" during... I don't know... five minutes... as Angelo was introducing every member of the band (making the song last at least 10-12 minutes...)

Arno said a lot about this show in his review, I'll just say that, for me, it was not as good as the saturday before, in Beauvais, because of the bad sound and this strange feeling about the audience...

A word on "Arseniq33", the band who played before Fishbone : They're amazing, these guys from Quebec, in their flaming suits , make a good "punchy speed ska"... but not enough to warm up the stone-cold audience of the File7...
