English Beat, Matisyahu and 311
First of all thanks Dave, what a wonderful invite!!! The English Beat played a classic Ska show, always positive, always energetic, to a crowd that was confused but happy to hear them. Confused because the bill did not show them listed for the most part, but when many people heard them they were super pleasantly surprised. Dave Wakeling, is a super nice guy, have a look at my picture below, he's sweating out the Florida heat.
Matisyahu, was everything they seem to be and maybe a touch more, all positive, all NY, and super hip, rockin, hip hoppin, reggae stylie I don't know how to describe them. they did some instrumental jams that were amazing. Matisyahu did some awesome beatbox sets, they are really a great band and could have been the headliner.
311, well I always liked them, they are such a soluful kinda rock... However, I have to say, that I have not seen a band in a good long while jam like these guys did. They played a LOT of songs, for a long time, they were sweating from head to toe and still asked the crowd, "West Palm beach can you hang with us a little longer???" as if we were doing them the favor of hangin out. They were what people pay to see, and we also got 2 other awesome bands in the mix. Oh did I mention, one of the best drum sets I have ever seen, the whole band was on the drums...wow.
What a great night!
