Mar 31 2000 @ The Firehouse St Louis, MO

I made the 4 hour drive to see them at the Firehouse in St. Louis, MO. The place has a cool website so I thought it would be cool there. Thats only what I thought... It looks cool, it's an old firehouse converted into one big bar/restaurant room (with good food and friendly waitstaff), and one big performance room with a bar and a game room in the back. The event was KSLU (http:/...

The show knocked my socks off, and, I think, is the best show I've seen since Chris left (and, I think we're currently about 50/50 with about 8 with chris, and 8 without...)

The shit is finally all coming together.

The webcast was a wash...no one seemed to have a mic that Angelo could use for this.

I hooked up with a DAT taper, so, I'll hopefully be able to get a copy of the show.

I wrote down a setlist for ya'll

i just checked it with the Houston show, and it's exactly the same, except:

1) They didn't do where'd you get those pants, they did weed plant (someone said before the song..."pants, or plants...")

2) Freddie's Dead began with Junkie's Prayer.

3) they did a 2nd encore, playing Shakey Ground and BEHAVIOR CONTROL TECHNICIAN!!!!!

a little something a mousy told me before the show....good news and bad....

GOOD: Fishbone was asked to open up for the Red Hot Chili Peppers/Stoned Temple Pilots tour....(and after all that shit we talked about RHCP not helping them out.....)

BAD: They might not wind up coming through the midwest at the end of may (good thing I drove 12 hours to go see em....)

Question: Wouldn't the Fishbone and Friend's album have been a perfect time to record a good version of "Fishbone is Red Hot"??

Brian: checked your site, and wound up checking back into the Spearhead site (hadn't looked in a month....)....are you going to check him out in Bloomingtom? I was thinking about it, but, then I noticed the DeKalb date, I guess I'm going to that....Did you see the guy with the Spearhead sweatshirt at the show? I told him about www.spearheadvibrations.com he has no idea Michael was still doing stuff....

Piece y'all, N

I was there and I have the bruises to prove it. Brian summed it up pretty well. I stood in the very front the entire time and when they started in on Bonin' some crack head motherfucker wanted me and my bro's spot up front. I had driven 4 hours and stood though two opening bands. He didn't get it, then he tried to get a spot from this girl next to me, she grabbed him around the throat! He ...
