One of the craziest bands I've ever seen live is Fishbone. Their concerts I caught back in the late eighties and early nineties were fun and energetic to say the least. One time when I saw them in Baltimore people were diving off the balcony into the audience below... a good thirty-some feet down! It was insane. Bodies were flying. Music was blasting. It was incredible. The time I saw them open for Jane's Addiction still ranks as one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
"Bonin' In the Boneyard" is a cool little mostly-instrumental jam. To me, it personifies all there is to Fishbone. It showcases their great musicianship, their sense of humor ala the sexual innuendos, and the fun element that they brought to their early work. You get the funky bass, the horns, the fantastic voice of Angelo Moore, and the tight drumming of Phillip Fisher. Fishbone got much harder and angrier after this record and I kind of lost interest, but I've never stopped enjoying their early work.
"Bonin' in the Boneyard" is from the album "Truth and Soul." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
