At
12:00 midnight, FREEKBASS started their funky show with an standard
pre-recorded funk track summoning the Freekbass band to the stage. The band
played some of the funky music of the David Bowie song "Fame" minus
the actual lyrics of the song.......it was full of powerful bass (courtesy of
Chris "Freekbass" Sherman) and guitar riffing (courtesy of Sean
McGary).....Aaron Mahoney even did some of the lead vocals!! "She's
Already There" was followed by "Freekbass 2YK", the standout
Mutron-effect bass romp that stinked up Paloma's with an odor too thick to
cut!! There was some smokin' lead guitarisms, some funky piano jamming (by
Aaron) and kick-ass drumming by Mista Swift!! "The One" was followed
by the powerful lead guitar jam "I Will Believe in You"!!
"Baby Baby" was done with the first chorus done in a more subdued
than the album version, but the rest was some super hardcore funk stuff,
featuring some of Freekbass's super-funky bass! Mista Swift represented on raps
for "Thang", and so did J (as J did an intense sax solo)!! The band
surprised folks with some of that smoldering "Red Hot Momma", done
differently than every other band that played it:
