Review by Dan Kramer (tahoespearit)

The sold out show in a new venue got started about 15-25 mins. late(Spearhead time) but to a jam packed, hyped crowd. Many people who didn't get tickets in time where outside the door to the venue dancin' just as hard as if they were in the show. The band cracked right into an unusaul openner, Every Single Soul. A good one to get Bob's(who is sitting in on keys this tour) fingers warmed up and in the groove for the night ahead! Didn't miss a beat going right into What Happens Next, with Radio and Bob playing off each other nicely.
After a breif pause, Carl started laying down the thick reggae bass line for People in the Middle which stoked the crowd aswell as many fine smelling cigarettes! Caught a quick breathe before jumping back into the groove with Runfayalife with Carl dropping bass into the Skintight Jam and Radio flowin' some freestyles for the new incoming class of freshmen. A descent transition into Stay Human. The Dave and Carl had a chance to showcase some new toys(guitar and bass effects pedals) that they have recently purchased and boy was it worth the money by the sounds of it! Really giving them a fuller, more professional, bigger sound. Good Things To Come I'm Sure!!!
Michael then takes time to speak with the crowd of students and tells how he enjoyed the day kickin' the soccerball around and then going over tothe gym to shoot some hoops. He goes on to say that Radio found a nice patch of grass, in a bag, and layed down and enjoyed his day! Then he asks if there is anyone here that had thier first day of college today. "Well, everyday of school is like this" Michael jokes. Then Dave starts in with the acoustic guitar line for the new fan favorite Never Too Late. Torwards the end of the song, Michael stops evreyone in the band except Manas on drums and gets the boom-boom-bap, boom-boom-bap rythm from Oueen's "We Will Rock You" going with two stomps from his feet and a clap. The band joins back in to end the song gently with the verse, "Hold to your children, let them know."
Michael grabs his guitar and starts up Feelin' Free which is slowly becoming a long jammed out song with verse from other songs such as "Love Train" and "Exodus" incorperated within. Another short breather and than back into Michael leading of Everyone Deserves Music. Dave really sounding nice adding his little fills and melodies on the electric guitar throughout the song. Michael says, "bring on the drums" as Carl thumps the bass line to What I Be. The crowd erupts as Michael sings, "If I where the seeds, I would give birth to redwood trees". (being in redwood country and all) The transition into Pray for Grace was as smooth as a baby's bottom keep the crowd dancing hard. Manas drumrolls the band into Soulshine from there and then slows it down into another new song, In The Light. The new arrangement of this song and Dave's improving solos have really done it justise and promises to be another big hit! The band takes a break while Radio entertains everyone with his panflute, beatbox routine before the band gets back to Rock the Nation for the last song of the set! The bands leaves the stage for a couple of minutes before coming back out for an encore song or five! Dave slowly plays us back into the tunes with the openning riff to Love Invinsible. Yes I Will followed smoothly as Michael add a verse from Bob Marley's "Sun Is Shinning" at the end of the song. Michael takes a second to promote the 4th annual 911 Power to the Peaceful concert coming up in a week and then plays Bomb the World before asking Dave for some guitar to finish the night with Sometimes.
