Favorite moment: The entire show is superb it's too difficult to list one or even a few favorite moments. @

Setlist: The entire set I'm not completely sure of. The band constantly changes their songs letting them evolve almost as if the music is taking them to uncharted territory on it's own. There were updated arrangements of older songs, new dub (instrumental) songs and others. One new song is titled "the grass" which I thought was incredible. The two newer dub tracks let the horn section step out a little and show thier chops. The combination of the players in the rythem section keep getting stronger and lay down such a solid foundation in which the entire group and audience instantly lock into a groove that has to be experienced to understand. @

I've seen J.B.B. many times, but this time I was going with my sister who hasn't seen them live yet. After the show we spoke about the show and some of the things we said were the best way to sum it up: "John Brown's Body live is like a religious experience. It's as if some higher power brings the message of peace, love & awareness to everyone in the room. All this happens to the soundtrack of this amazing band that melts reggae, rock , hip-hop, r&b, and world music together so beautifully. And that happens everytime you see them." Needless to say my sister is now a huge fan. it's not surprising to me, that's how I got hooked.

This is one of those rare events where the opening act should have been the headliners.

As soon as i heard that two of my favorite reggae bands were playing together, i had to get tix. The Black Seeds (from New Zealand) are on their first US tour, thanks to John Brown's Body, who closed the evening with an amazing set. It seemed that most of the people in the crowd didn't know about The Black Seeds, but I can assure you that they're fans now. I got to meet and have drinks w/ members of both bands, and they're all very cool and nice. I highly recommend getting both bands' albums, and seeing them live if u get the chance. They're both continuing the true roots movement that is good for the soul.

Concert was awseome! I've been waiting for Passafire to come around and I have never seen them live before. Their bass player was amazing! they had the whole crowd jumping up and down and dancing their whole set. It was nice to see them at 8x10 because the venue is a little smaller so it easier to get right up to the stage :)
John Browns Body was great as well!! I love how they have brass players in the band it adds so much to the music and you don't really see alot of brass insturment layers any more.
I would definatly reccomend checking out both of these bands, they're great and alot of fun!!!

John Brown's Body played with such high energy, it was contagious. You could tell they were really loving the music. The songs sounded exactly like their recordings, very impressive. I danced my butt off! I can't wait to see them again.
