At
11:00pm, Rhythm Republik started with a funky version of
"Sunchild"....kudos to Groovalicious for the soaring guitar
riffs!! Tanya Thillet shined vocally on "Psychic Toll". Heavy bassisms
by Mark Bass permeated throughout the song, "Up From the
Underground".....the intro featured some interesting guitar and horn
riffs. NOTE: RHYTHM
REPUBLIK now has a horn & percussion section in their band......and it
really adds to the soulful sound!!! "Goddess" was okay and "Sweatshop Blues/Stay
Broke" was as funky as the last time I heard Rhythm Republik perform it. "For the Last Time To Forever"
was okay, but "Nights Are Longer Without You" was some great
Latin-like rhythm drum shit (kudos to Wildstar) some excellent vocals by Tanya
and a second female vocalist!! "Mystikal Luva/Finga Lickin' (Hot inthe Kitchen)" was
basically the same as the last time they performed it. To close the show, the
Funkmaster General & Joshua (from the musical group, Van Ness) chose to do
the Prince song, "The Cross"........it was a wonderful ending!! The
show ended at 11:55pm.
