I admittedly didnt see a few of the bands at all (my biggest pet peeve with the "3 Floors" formula) every band I saw kicked ass.<br /><br />I was finally able to see the Forthrights, and as a fan from the beginning, I was blown away. I've had demos for a while, but the songs have been slightly reworked and tuned up since then, and they put out a great live show.<br /><br />I only caught one song of Justin Rothberg's set. It was his usual trio, with horns, and Jah Point playing djembe. It was incredible jazzy reggae, and I'm really pissed I didn't get to see more.<br /><br />Cold Spot 8 were amazing. Their set was far too short, so they ended up playing another one later on in the night, which I missed for the Scofflaws.<br /><br />The Bluebeats were awesome. They played a great mix of covers and classics from their two moon albums.<br /><br />Bigger Thomas were great, as always. I've seen them more times than I can possibly remember over the years, and I've never once been disappointed. They played a couple of new songs that are going to be on the new album coming out soon, when the ever popular/constantly busy King Django finishes mixing it.<br /><br />HCS were great. I think out all the shows I've been to at the knit, I've seen HCS there more than any other band (Django being a close second, if not a tie).<br /><br />I only caught a song or two of Silver Dollar's set, but theyre always great. I think this was their first show since Skooch left, but theyre carrying on strong.<br /><br />Django's set was great. I missed a chunk of it in the middle because I was getting too tired to stand. It wouldn't have been a fitting end for ska on Leonard St. if Django hadn't played.<br /><br />The Scofflaws were great too. This was my first time seeing them. It was weird seeing a 4 member Scofflaws, after having grown up with their albums and being used to such huge horn arrangements, but it was very entertaining. Although i wish they had played William Shatner, After The Lights, and Back Door Open.<br /><br />The night ended with the Jammyland Allstars backing up Milton Henry. the set started out with Jah Point singing over Real Rock, and then Milton Henry came out and stole the spotlight. This was my second time seeing him (the first was also at the knit) and he was just as good as he was the last night. I had to leave in the middle of his set though, because it was 2:30 and I had work at 10am this morning.<br /><br />Although I'm still absolutely exhausted and my pockets and considerably emptier, it was one of the best shows I've been to in a long time, and one more (of MANY) great memories on 74 Leonard St.Kames Jellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07172046371603768561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7744444020349998004.post-70159956290098390562009-07-24T08:50:19.376-04:002009-07-24T08:50:19.376-04:00KJ:
