A perfect SBD except for the cut in Sometimes. Check out that 1st set. And buried in nearly every song, Radio throws down the freestyles. First there's a tribute to George Harrison and the New Year with Here Comes the Sun, then that 15 min. mix of songs with the rarely performed Ganga Babe and FFTM. Followed by a crispy Oh My God that flows from the heart, like it does every time they play it, but tonight it's awesome. Then into a 12 min Stay Human, and you know when it's long like that, there's gonna be a solo. It's one of those tight old Satchmo mixes. Dave cleans house on ESS first, during his solo, playing like how the Allman Brothers's songs from the Fillmore in the early 70's have that sound. Then it's good ol' Carl's turn. Kevin joins in, and it just jams along through these 'No matter where I roam' choruses with the boys singing 'Everything is beautiful' in the background. If that wasn't enough, it gets better with Feeling Free, in one of those classic 60s & 70s, mom & pop picnic type of squeaky clean reggae vibes. If you don't blow a speaker on this tune, you might want to give away your stereo. Listen closely to the working speaker for Dave doin' the wah wah to Michael's lyrics, holy smokes. I retracked disc 1 to end with the Bomb The World acoustic. Disc 2: I moved Bomb the dub over to begin disc 2. The original source shns had both Bombs on the first disc, which made for a rough cut, because Bomb > What Happens Next. I left overlap for future archiving to dvd. The dub version is upbeat and has that great Radio intro, "gotta be the bomb, gets the last word." The whole song is peppered with Radio in the mix and Mannas just busting the drums with a bunch of World Beat rhythms. At nearly 10 minutes, d2 gets a great start. The WHN they play is real jazzy, with a piano solo over the salsa beats of Mannas and Radio. It doesn't have any of sharp edges, almost Santana-like at points when Dave takes a turn on the guitar. Michael sings out the Soulshine, and it gets a great start from him. Radio steps up and adds to what Michael did with a classic solo to fill out the rest of the song. That's the set closer. 4 encores, too. The Sherri & Leon freestyle duet in Love Will Set Me Free is funny. The mix on Sometimes is fantastic, unleashing some great keyboards, guitar, and backup vocals. There's this hot duet between Carl and Dave that's really going when there comes a cut at 5:26 for a few seconds, but it jumps right back into a section with Radio beatboxing the pan flute. Michael opens it up a little later for solos, and a woman from the audience takes a turn, along with Josh on the ones and twos. And after it's all over there's about 3 min. of thank yous. This is surely one of their best shows.
