Fantastic show last night at my favorite venue, the Knitting Factory. There is no barrier between the audience and the band, so it was a perfect place for Fishbone to play.
The band was on top of their game, making their playing seem effortless. Merv was a little out of it, but he did, according to Angelo, do his first solo stage dive ever! Dre and Angelo were all over/in the crowd ...
They ended with PARTY AT GROUND ZERO, at which point Norwood, Merv and Dre left the stage. Then, Angelo, McKnight, Wet Daddy and Rocky busted out a hilarious improv (at least I think it was an improv) that I would call IF YOU LIKED THIS SHOW, BUY SOMETHING BLUES. It was 12 bar blues chording over which Angelo riffed about the T shirts, CD's and other merch available in the rear at the bar. Never heard it before and laughed my ass off.
Otherwise, it was as described in the previous review. Playing was really tight, house sound good, song selection great if not particularly surprising and the Knit was its old swampy crowded self. It's moving to Brooklyn in 2009 and I can't imagine it will be anything like the LES Knit where so many great shows went down. Another big loss for the NYC live music scene.
