Band were tight as usual but the sound was really top heavy, so much so that the drums were often drowned out. Not the bands fault - they were excellent. I saw Angelo before this gig in the bar and gave him a nod and he gave me one back. Must have thought I was a bit weird! Shame they didn't play an encore - something was up, not sure if Norwood had the hump as Angelo said that if we wanted more we'd have to ask the bass player - and to be honest, who the f**k would mess with Norwood?!?!

The first time I saw Fishbone was at the Academy supported by ProPain, The Goats and Bad Brains on 14th October 1993 (that gig isn't listed on this site BTW but I still have my ticket stub to prove it!) so I was made up that they were returning to this venue. I was impressed by Clay Pigeon who had a good sound and some pretty decent songs, shame about the lack of people actually watching ...
It's been years since I last saw a Fishbone show, and I only found out about this one three nights earlier - lots of anticipation on the drive to Manchester. I ordered the tickets online the night before, and was surprised when I collected them to see what low numbers I had - 86 and 87. The world has gone mad when a band like Fishbone is playing small venues to less-than-packed audiences, but w...
