Very great Show in Paris!
The Band played for 2 hours and a half ...
Norwood after the "encore" said to the crowd they could keep on playin' for longer time but they had to stop because of the curfew. Anyway, the audience got enought time to apreciate a Set which I'll describe as one of their Freshiests, Funkiests, Tightests, Psychedeliests and Funniests I ever got to assist to OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS !
Fishbone is now in its element!
We have an expression in France to express one's hapinness, it's "To Feel like a Fish in the water" :
"Comme un Poisson dans l'Eau"...
And yesterday night I was so glad seeing the band because I felt Great Things were to come for them now...Artistically and humanly speaking...
The energy that emerged from the stage was one of a GREAT ORCHESTRA full of complicity AND dexterity.
The brass section led by Mr. Mc Knight, Dre and Angelo was very consistant and hopefully in the years to come we can expect a new palette of sound for the horns in the song writings.
On the song "They all have abandonned their hopes", the brass section played lower over a real slow tempo, a bit back off the beat bringing something really strong and moving to Angelo's raw singing. Something soothing was coming out of that song. Strangely, with these Blues connotations it felt like the song was better from the recording version.
Steward is a very impressive musician, a creative drummer in total complicity with the audience
Who else could play naked during a whole set ? ;/ )
Honestly, I felt he was really appreciated and it feels like he's very implied in the Music
Rocky George is a true gentleman, in total connection with each musician wether Norwood and Steward or during Angelo solos on Sax....
What About Norwood ? One of the best Bass Players alive...
But what can you say or write when you re facing such great talents... You would need 14 ears and 14 eyes to truly appreciate a Band like that in constant and creative evolution
A NEW ERA IS COMING NOW ... Check it out !
