REVIEW:  by Dan Kramer
    The day got started off with some coffee/tea/chai and special strawberries 
  flavors for the band and crew compliments of Jeremy and Jeremy.  The show 
  wasn't quite sold out but it sure sounded like it was!  The McDonald theater 
  has great acoustics so the 1,100 people that where in there sounded like 
  3,000.   The boys came out and openned the show with Oh My God, sounding 
  strong with Bob leading in on the key.  The funky Love Is Da Shit followed 
  and loosened up the kids for the high energy, What Happens Next.  After a 
  brief cool down, Carl rips into the reggae version of People In the Middle 
  which gets the smell of Oregon's finest in the air.  Bob then rolls us in 
  to the slow piano melody of Every Single Soul.  Towards the end of the song, 
  after Dave's solo where Saul Williams had been reciting peotry during the 
  sno-core tour, Michael decided to give it a try and blessed us with an old 
  Beatnigs poem/song called, Nature.  With great lyrics about people asking 
  Mike if he loves nature so much than why does he live in the city.  And he 
  replies that people live in the city and people are his favorite part of 
  nature.  Back into Every Single Soul before transitioning into Stay Human. 
    Once again the guys got the chance to display the new sounds from thier 
  effects pedals newly aquired.  After showing off a bit, they slowly 
  transitioned into Do You Love.  The crowd and the band took a quick breath 
  as Dave began the acoustic riff for Never Too Late and the band shined on. 
  They then brought it back up a notch with Dream Team and then radio took 
  the spotlight with his pan-flute and Beatboxing solos leading up to the 
  crowd hyper, Rock The Nation.  They slowed things down again with the new 
  power ballad, Love Why Did You Have To Go.  This is another song that has 
  come along way from the first version we heard awhlie back as with 
  Everyone Deserves Music.  Everyone Deserves Music has also openned itself 
  up to be another song that they can do alot with and have some epic jams 
  in the future!  Yes I Will followed and was sounding pretty good in it's 
  own right.  Feelin' Free was jammed out for quite abit before closing the 
  set with Soulshine to leave the crowd screaming, yelling and hooting for 
  more in the extremly loud venue!  
    After a 5min. break, the band returned to the stage as Dave played the 
  openning chords for Love Invincible.  The guys then kicked into the new 
  two song medely of What I Be into Pray For Grace for the first time as 
  an encore.  Dave really turned it on for the next song, In The Light. 
  The guys have just reworked the song and if they play it half as well as 
  they did this night on the album, they're sure to have a hit.  I mean Dave 
  Really shreds his solo up!!!!!!!!!!!  Michael even takes a sec. to give 
  Dave mad props for his solo before inviting everyone to the Power to the 
  Peaceful concert next week.   Michael then picks up his acoustic and sings 
  Bomb The World. Next, you guessed it, Sometimes but this time with a twist 
  of Bob Marley's Running Away into a Radio Freestyle back into Marley's 
  Crazy Baldheads after the Nirvana and Michael Jackson covers! 
    Pretty Sweet Show.
