Apr 24 2005 @ Blue Nile New Orleans, LA

First of all I must say it was absolutely incredible to see Fishbone at the New Orleans Jazz Festival ... I estimate they played in front of at least 75,000 people ( There was probably a good 200,000 plus people at the whole festival. Fishbone took the stage at the Blue Nile around 3 AM by this time all of New Orleans was just toasted up including the band ... They opened with Party At Ground Zer...

The group came on really late, like ya boy before me said, about 3am. That was cool though, cause they put on a REAL TIGHT performance at Jazz Fest. Especially liked that "train whistle" thang they did (at the Fest). Anyway, the Blue Nile gig was kinda crazy. Norwood was drinkin' . . . but the bass was thumpin'. The ska stuff was really, really nice. Seems like they did about 3 or 4 of those...

it was disappointinf to see angelo pass out towards the end of the set. is norwood ok? he seems like he's picked up an addiction since the last tour, or his drinking is getting incredibly out of control. norwood, i love you brother, please take care of yourself. even though all of those people yelled about how you weren't shit (before the show, 2 hours before they started because norwood was absent) it's bullshit man!! you're a bass guru and your fans love you and would like to see you healthy again.
