Michael Franti & Spearhead - Dallas Dance Music - Dallas nightlife, music, tickets, and more

Roos · 03-06-07, 09:45 AM

This show on Friday moved into my top 5 best shows ever... bumping one of Prince's shows right out. If you missed it, which I am sure most here did

, you fail. A true showman and musician and party-crowd pleaser. Hip-hop, Funk, Dub, Reggae, Soul, R&R... with a great instrumental Funk band opening up. Words can't describe it, but half the people I hung out with decided to drive to Austin to see him Saturday night after hearing only 15 minutes of the opening songs.

Top 5:

1) Prince - The Hit & Run Tour
2) Prince - The Rainbow Children Tour
3) Prince - Lovesexy Tour
4) Prince - Hits tour @ AAC
4) Michael Franti & Spearhead @ Gypsy Tearoom Friday, March 2

Roos, you and a friend of mine would get along really well, I see your top 4 include Prince. I'll have to check out these guys when I get a chance.

Yea, that show rocked. I'd been into spearhead for over 5 years but had never seen them. I was blown away. They are such a bad ass band.

What was cool too is that you could tell that they were really enjoying themselves. Franti said on stage that he hadn't expected a big crowd, so the huge hyped audience I think made his night.

When they went into Sublime I just lost it. And the Sesame Street theme, C Is For Cookie, and Rainbow Connection.

Amazing show.
