ok...it's time that somebody post somethin... the ABART is a very cool location for a FISHBONE show. And so the people get a very powerful fishbone concert that night. it was the best performance so far that I've seen of the new formation. Only Angelo and Norwood are Fishbone members of the original group. But there are some fine additions (Dre Gipson.....nice to have a keyboard player agin, Rock...

Hi,

sorry for the late review, a lot of things kept me away from the computer.

I went to Abart with 3 friends, all Fishbone soldiers. We arrived in time for the first two bands, which were good, but not as funny as Wolfunkind.

The Abart is a really tiny club and the big problem there, is the stage, if you can call this a stage! Just a podium... And there were Fishbone instruments laying in a corner with just some kind of movable fence to protect them. Scary !

There was a good vibe in the attendance and the show was good. But I felt that Fishbone were a bit tired and so was I.

The setlist was a good mix of old and new songs. But it was I think the first time (I don't count Temple bar shows, because there were fast only new songs) that they didn't play 'Bonin'.

I like very much this formation with a lot of horns and the keyboard. I would like a second guitarist, Rocky is very good but on some numbers like 'Sunless saturday' I missed something.

My friends enjoyed the show as all people there (a lot of people for a sunday night). There were a bunch of funny french guys as old as me with GAMAB tour shirts that were moving the crowd. Good to see old fans still partying like in the 90's

Last words of Angelo : "I wish my Brother George was here" ;)
