Went to see them last night in a nice theater setting. Not necessarily my favorite music but the passion for music and love for the audience was real. Franti and the band works hard and he has a very positive message.

I especially liked when he sat on a stool, strumming his Martin, and talking about how fucked up the United States, and the world are. He reminded us it is up to us to spread the love and make it a better place. Now where have I heard that before?


Great show, well worth the price of the ticket which is hard to say these days.

    Going to see my friend Michael next Wednesday here in DC then Philly possibly two dates in NYC. He gives everything he has when on stage, I'll talk with him as to what he thinks about what transpired in our recent election.

    Off to see AC/DC tonight with my daughter.

    Peace.

    Love Michael Franti. Got most his albums. Have never seen 'em live, but I'd love to.

    Great show at The 9:30 Club in DC while playin through some 23 song set for two and half hours. Everyone in the sold out show seemed to have a great time through the songs, the new set and lighting.

    The opening band was amazing but for the life of me I can't remember their name SSIS? Something like that, amazing rappers, singers and beatbox. I thought I was hearing Radioactive all over again. :D

    Nice to see them work on this new song for almost an hour as they worked through tone, chorus backbeat etc.

    Also I believe during *Yell Fire* love the inclusion of AC/DC's *Black In Black*. Especially after seeing AC/DC on Saturday in DC, my daughter's holiday gift with her male "friend". :) She didn't want to go to last night show because she said it's on a school night and that I can surely understand. Rest up and get well soon Dave S. hopefully pictures and video later.

    Peace
