closest to the real thing...
After all how could a mere stereo audio recording do justice to the full-frontal assault created by the beyond-colorful personalities of the dudes in Fishbone? So here we finally have a CD AND DVD together for one low price. As great as Fishbone's studio albums are, this is one act that has always thrived and amazed live, where their character can shine in full effect. The sound is awesome, just try it w/headphones (or those earbuds you probably use for everything. . ). AND you get to SEE the band putting it down live. Norwood, the killer bassist always said that they just tried to do what P-Funk said and "take it to the stage" and they do! You MUST check this out. . . and if you're new to Fishbone then I have mad envy for you. you're in for a great trip.


The Indie-label Struggle
Fishbone are legendary. . let me just begin by saying that. There were ranked most exciting live act by Dappa Like Zappa; They have influenced countless bands and hip-hop acts, befriended many more bands and such. . . i mean come on, its undeniable! After dealing with a bunch of garbage from Columbia, and dealing with legal whoas, and lack of promotion, they eventually moved to their own record label. Now this album was done through High Times Magazine and they simply didnt do the band justice! Dont get me wrong, its a great album, but thanks no thanks to High Times. . . the recording quality lacks and there are type-o's on the back cover. . . granted, being an indie band, their stuff is bound to be a bit ruff around the edges-and like i said, the album (especially teamed with the DVD) is still great. . . just not as great as it could've been. . . . ah the whoas of independance. Furthermore, the DVD doesnt do justice to Fishbone's live performance. . . Fishbone is typically full of energy and motion, and on this DVD they're more layed back. . . but that is undoubtably do to the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF POT BEING SMOKED BY EVERYONE!!!! BUT. . . the crowd shots are tight. . . there are people EVERYWHERE. . . and a dancing section in the front where some fans are gettin down and there's this person wearing a psychedelic light outfit. . . its great! AND in all the album/dvd combo is a great bye (but wouldnt be a good purchase for someone new to Fishbone).


Stoned delight in the stoners' capital

From Angelo Moore's bizarre opening rap, to the sonic blitz of "Sunless Saturday" and the turbo-charged skank of "Cholly", this is pure killer vibes. No Fishbone fan can afford to be without this CD/DVD recording of what proved to be one of their last concerts - at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
How could a band so talented be treated so shabbily by the music industry? Moore's bitter rant, which closes the DVD version, spells out just how used and abused Fishbone were.
Tragic. But at least we have this souvenir of their greatness.


Great Music, Great DVD, a must for fishbone fans!!!!
Fishbone plays a great mix of ol' an new songs to skank and go nuts to!! Over 70 minutes of music. Fishbone is red hot!!. Great quality sound, recommended for music fans with eclectic taste!! If you like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Brains, 247 spyz, Living Colour, Sublime, They Might Be Giants, Weapon of Choice, you are gonna love fishbone!.


Fishbone rocks live
Of course fishbone is always great live but the best part of this cd is you get a dvd of the concert as well. Great live cd. It's like getting two for the price of one which is great. I didn't even know it came with a dvd when I ordered it so it was a great suprise to get that one top of the cd. A must have for any fishbone fan.
