Review by Dan Kramer The band and crew were treated to a nice day (compliments of Adam the promoter) of relaxation with a little whale watching and kayaking before the show. Yet another sold out show on the tour even though the venue only held about 300 people and it was the last show of the tour. Once again, another late start but the guyz ripped right into ethier set with Love Invinsible as Bob was really coming into his own on the keys. The energy in the room created a steamy funk that wouldn't be lifted until the end of the night when the windows and doors were openned. Positive spawned itself from Love Invisible as the night really started to take off with spearits bouncing around the room. Moving on into People In The Middle, Dave had a nice solo that brought the crowd to thier knees. Every Single Soul was next and featured Michael doing the Beatnig's Nature again towards the end of the song. Stay Human flowed nicely out of Every Single Soul and was one of the last chance for the band to showcase themselves until the next show in S.F on Sept. 7th. Never Too Late, which is becoming a regular, found it's way behind Stay Human where it has been showing up the most lately. Michael then grabs his guitar from Joey the band's tech for the tour and leads the band into Everyone Deserves Music. This song has really come into it's own from the first time it was played and has gone from a 2 1/2 min. song into an 6 to 7 min epic jam. A quick breather and then right into Yes I Will. Michael adding Bob Marley's "Sun Is hinning" lyrics to the end of the song before fading out with "When your lost and alone, that's when the rainbow comes for you". What I Be was next but with Dave starting in with the guitar riff first instead of Bob starting with the keyboard. Maybe because Bob's keyboard was ounding ill for that song. Sounded pretty cool either way! Good transition into Pray For Grace which is growing on me even though I think it sounds alittle like the melody for the song, "Just The Two Of Us". I do like the wayit flows with and out of What I Be though. Next, another new one for the Tofinians, the power ballad, Love Why Did You Have To Go. Dave helped write the music for this one and you can tell he really has the guitar parts down for this one from beginning to end. From there, The boyz stepped it up a notch with and got the crowd moving alittle faster again with Soulshine to close the set up on a high note. Michael then stops to say that they usually take a break about now but seeing that we don't have much time left, they would just eep playing, unless everyone wanted a break? The Crowd screamed, "NO" and Radio readys himself for some panflute action. After panfluting around abit, Radio does this beatbox blowing, into the mic. Hopefully we'll see more of that in the future cause it was pretty damn cool! Right into Rock the Nation with Dave putting a little twist into the solo during the bridge. Runfayalife was next and Radio brought the vibes from his beatbox intro with him for this song and freestyles.After settling down from Runfayalife, Feelin' Free was a sweet, feelgood, cool down kindof song to ready us for the last 20 minutes of the night. Michael invited everyone down for the 4th annual 911 PowerTo The Peaceful concert. Michael says, "if you don't think you can make it, ask this lady Suzanne standing in the frontrow who has been traveling to every show this tour in a small white car from Petaluma all the way upto Tofino". After giving it up for Suzanne, Michael sings Bomb The World for the folks of Tofino before starting into Sometimes. One verse into the song Michael stops and says that they ran out of time and the police are sayiny they have to stop. So Michael asks the promoter, Adam, if it is cool to go over the cerfew and he says go for it. After they finish, Michael thanks the police for letting them go alittle over after introducing the band. A good show and even better tour!
