It was Fishbone. They kick ass. Good enough?:->

I didn't care for the opening bands much at all. The first was called Good Life, and they did this kind of poppy rock stuff, and the lead singer wiggled around a lot.

I didn't catch the name of the second one - they at least had real good energy, and did sort of an angry hard, metal, rappish kind of music. I still didn't like them much though... I really like that full, varied sound of groups like Fishbone or the Daddies (they do a lot of non-swing stuff - or at least they did...).

Fishbone then proceeded to play a lot of songs, allthough I can't remember which ones (I was too busy enjoying myself and grooving..). There were a lot of people who weren't moving much... I mean, I can't dance, but what the hell, it's fishbone... how can you not move to that music? Oh well, I had a great time, and I was really happy that they still are so tight after all this time...

Maybe someone else can comment more.. I was really tired *before* I got there due to not enough sleep...:->

I missed the opening band Good Life, but the second band Dial 7 I thought was awful. It was a great oportunity to head for the lobby and have a beer. Fishbone kicked ass, as usual, but the crowd seemed as if everyone had a long day at work and no one was really up for it. A few of the older songs seemed to get some people moving, but during Lemon Meringue/Unyielding Conditioning/Pray to the Junkie...

I agree! Fishbone was awesome! I don't know much about him, but I really dig the new keyboard player! Does anybody know what he did prior to joing Fishbone? Very good on the trumbone too! They played a lot of their early stuff. UGLY, Selection, etc... But for some reason, their didn't seem to be a lot of energy in the crowd. There were pockets of people skankin and stuff, but ove...
