Since the last time I saw the Bone in '88 (opening for the Chili Peppers), Ive never been around when they were playing. Just so happened that I was online yesterday and the Bone happened to be in ATL...Cool

In those almost 20 years since Ive seen them the CDs were always laying around and even my kids were into the music. So what the hell...time to take my 12 year old to he...

This is only the second time I've managed to catch the bone in ATL, but it was one hellacious ride. Everyone sounded great, the standard (by which I mean insane) fishbone energy was full in effect, too bad the crowd was mostly teeny-boppers and frat boys there to see Slightly Stoopid. Good set, good mix of classic stuff (Sunless Saturday, Party at Ground Zero, Ma & Pa, Freddie's Dead). Too bad ...

Okay, so it has been mentioned that the crowd kind of sucked, but the band never stopped trying to get them into it.

My favorite group came to Atlanta last Friday. I missed them at Smith's Olde Bar and I was talking to someone Friday that was saying their show was smokin.'

Their set was off the hook and Angelo's energy was as high as usual. Hearing them play Freddie's Dead was a special treat. I sang LOUDLY to every song. The new members fit in well and their energy was high. Rocky George's guitar playing was tight! I managed to talk to Angelo a bit before the show and take a picture with him that I will post as soon as the film gets developed. I loved the show and I hope they come back to Atlanta soon!!

Yes sir! Fishbone was playing hard! The energy was high, on stage, but i'll agree with the rest of the soliders that the SS crowd stood confused. Who in the hell??? Shut up bitches and step aside we needs to skank and pit. This was the first show that i'd been to where Angelo didn't jump in the crowd. Can't blame him, most of those people would have stepped out the way. Not having the crowd behind...
