REVIEW: by Dan Kramer (tahoespearit)
    The sold out show, in a new venue, got started about 15-25 mins. late
  (Spearhead time) but to a jam packed, hyped crowd.  Many people who didn't
  get tickets in time where outside the door to the venue dancin' just as
  hard as if they were in the show.  The band cracked right into an unusaul
  opener, Every Single Soul.  A good one to get Bob's (who is sitting in on
  keys this tour) fingers warmed up and in the groove for the night ahead!
  Didn't miss a beat going right into What Happens Next, with Radio and Bob
  playing off each other nicely.  After a brief pause, Carl started laying
  down the thick Reggae bass line for People in the Middle which stoked the
  crowd as well as many fine smelling cigarettes!  Caught a quick breath
  before jumping back into the groove with Runfayalife with Carl dropping
  bass into the Skintight Jam and Radio flowin' some freestyles for the new
  incoming class of freshmen.  A decent transition into Stay Human.  Then Dave
  and Carl had a chance to showcase some new toys (guitar and bass effects pedals)
  that they have recently purchased and boy was it worth the money by the sounds
  of it!  Really giving them a fuller, more professional, bigger sound.  
  Good Things To Come I'm Sure!!!
    Michael then takes time to speak with the crowd of students and tells how
  he enjoyed the day kickin' the soccerball around and then going over to the
  gym to shoot some hoops.  He goes on to say that Radio found a nice patch of
  grass, in a bag, and layed down and enjoyed his day!  Then he asks if there
  is anyone here that had their first day of college today.  "Well, everyday
  of school is like this" Michael jokes.  Then Dave starts in with the acoustic
  guitar line for the new fan favorite Never Too Late.  Torwards the end of the
  song, Michael stops evreyone in the band except Manas on drums and gets the
  boom-boom-bap, boom-boom-bap rythm from Oueen's "We Will Rock You" going with
  two stomps from his feet and a clap.  The band joins back in to end the song
  gently with the verse, "Hold to your children, let them know."  Michael grabs
  his guitar and starts up Feelin' Free which is slowly becoming a long jammed
  out song with verse from other songs such as "Love Train" and "Exodus"
  incorperated within.  
    Another short breather and than back into Michael leading off Everyone Deserves
  Music.  Dave is really sounding nice adding his little fills and melodies on the
  electric guitar throughout the song.  Michael says, "bring on the drums" as Carl
  thumps the bass line to What I Be.  The crowd erupts as Michael sings, "If I were
  the seeds, I would give birth to redwood trees" (being in redwood country and all).  
  The transition into Pray for Grace was as smooth as a baby's bottom and kept the
  crowd dancing hard.  Manas drumrolls the band into Soulshine from there and then
  slows it down into another new song, In The Light.  The new arrangement of this
  song and Dave's improving solos have really done it justice and promises to be
  another big hit!  The band takes a break while Radio entertains everyone with his
  panflute, beatbox routine before the band gets back to Rock the Nation for the last
  song of the set!  
    The bands leaves the stage for a couple of minutes before coming back out for an
  encore song or five!  Dave slowly plays us back into the tunes with the openning
  riff to Love Invincible.  Yes I Will followed smoothly as Michael add a verse from
  Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shinning" at the end of the song.  Michael takes a second to
  promote the 4th annual 911 Power to the Peaceful concert coming up in a week and
  then plays Bomb the World before asking Dave for some guitar to finish the night
  with Sometimes.
