I'll leave out the drama I went through to get to this show!

having seen the boys in Orlando the night before, it was nice to go from the 3,000 person (or whatever) to the 300 person Freebird Cafe. I definitely prefer the "more intimate" environment. I thought the performance was a bit sharper in Jax, but Wood and JS felt like O'ville was a better show... go figure.

My fiance' and I arrived about twenty minutes before the first band performed to FINALLY meet up with Steve, and an extremely nice individual, Marie from Belgium.

The first band was your typical sublime influenced jam band. They were kinda bland and longwinded (Steve can attest to this!) through their set, but still some talented musicians.

Next up was ...

Hi everybody,

I was at the show with Steve, Jaime and his girlfriend. I am from Belgium and decided to go to a Fishbone gig for my birthday.

I was glad there was other fans with me.

Havin' seen Fishbone in Brussels this February, I must admit their performance was under the usual Fishbone level.

It was strange to me to see them as opening band and to have just one hour show.

But still, they stay the best band ever.

Marie from Belgium
