Feb 17 2010 @ Culture Room Ft. Lauderdale, FL

This was, as per usual, a hell of a show. I did not stick around for English Beat so I have no comment on that... HOWEVER, FB rocked it as I've been lucky to have seen them do over a baker's dozen times. Some drawbacks: 1. I don't know how to change who was "on stage" on this page but Rocky George was not present at all - Norwood gave an explanation to start the show but I didn't...

AWESOME SHOW! This was at least the 8th time I see them and it was up there with the best of them. Rocky George was not in the lineup because he caught pneumonia after the New Orleans show but is expected to be fine. John McKnight handled all guitar duties (as well as trombone, vocals, keys) and he was excellent, he more than held his own. Angelo was fantastic as usual. Dre Gipson really put on a helluva show as well, rocking the mic and the keys and stage diving/crowd surfing multiple times. Norwood and John Steward were awesome as usual but one of the best parts of the whole night was seeing Dirty Walt back on stage. He really adds so much to the Fishbone lineup, it's fantastic to see him up there with the band. Once again, the show was as awesome a show as I've ever seen from the Bone and I've seen them at least 8 times since 1994. It's hard to believe these guys have been doing this for close to three decades because they played with the type of energy you would more expect from a new band...THEY WERE ON FIRE the whole night! As much as I dig the original lineup, this lineup is absolutely awesome and I would be more than happy if they kept this lineup going and release more new music with this lineup. AWESOME SHOW! And yes it would have been better if they were headlining but it really didn't matter because the show they put on was just incredible! I got to meet Norwood, Dre, Walt, & Angelo and they were all as nice as can be. Thanks for a great show guys!
