Because it does. Review by Dan Kramer The boyz got off to a late start due to echnical difficulties but Radio came out as soon as things were ready to welcome the crowd and invite them to come closer to the stage to dance. Michaelthen grabbed his acoustic guitar to begin the days exspearience with Everyone Deserves Music. Michael had something in his throat and had to stop to clear it before going on sounding much better than before. As the band made it's transition into Soulshine, the sun followed with it's own transition from overcast to sunny and the crowd really started getting into the music! They continued the vibe, wasting no time rolling into People In The Middle(Reggae Style) as the herb smoke started to rise in the open aired venue. Every Single Soul followed with Michael reciting the Beatnig's, Nature again towards the end before flowing right into a high energy, Stay Human. Radio and Carl did a killer duet, feeding off each other as they got the crowd rockin'. Michael and the guyz then turned B.C. onto one of thier new tunes, Never Too Late. The B.C. spearits seemed to like the new tune and where more than happy to help Mike and the band along with the "we will, we will, rock you" chant as they fooled around with the Queen classic. The reaction to the new songs was so good that the guyz pulled out two more to tease the crowd until the new album comes out with What I Be and Pray for Grace! A pretty solid but standard version which lead up to What Happens Next to step up the groove abit. After the quick workout that is What Happens Next, Michael takes a moment to acknowledge the beautiful venue and the wide arrange of weather being displayed, "We had some sunshine, wind and looks like we're gonna get some rain; There's still some snow left up there".Radio adds," I saw a nice patch of weed growing out there". Next, Michael slows things down again with Feelin' Free and Dave added some nice soulful licks throughout the verses and Radio freestylin' the crowd into a freny! The rain begins falling and the spearits in attendance just start dancing harder. Radio follows Feelin' Free with a panflute beatbox intro including a beatbox cover of Metallica's "One", warming everyone up for Rock The Nation. A pretty strong Rock The Nation set the mood for another powerful new rock ballad type song called Love Why Did You Have To Go, which left many speechless. Michael takes another moment to invite everyone down to the Power To The Peaceful concert in Golden Gates Park and then begins playing Bomb The World. Finally, Mike calls for the guitar man to give him some guitar as the Sometimes ritual gets jumpstarted. Michael brings up a security guard(Jake-o?) on stage to help sing a verse from Michael Jackson's Billy Jean before letting everyone know that, "Our love will always shine" and calling it a night (No Marley Jam, ran out of time). Michael is told, from a fan, that they were playing in the Spearhead Mountian range. A short set that was shorten even more because of the technical difficulties but still a solid show either way!!!! Later That Night, Bob and Dave sat in with the Living Daylights and others that joined together at the Boot Pub, next to the Zoophorus venue, for an all-star improv jam which went to the break of dawn!
