This World Is So Fucked Up - Michael Franti and Spearhead
I saw him and his guitarist at the Prince of Wales, at least 15 years ago. Easily one of the best and heart-warming shows I've ever seen.
I was there too but I reckon it was more like 18 years ago. The diversity of people and the smell of hooch in the air was impressive.
The guy next to me passed me a joint, I inhaled too quickly and started coughing. He said something like, relax man and have some more - that guy was the epitome of chill and made my night.
Edit - holy shit, I think this is the show! - https://archive.org/details/spr2005-02-23.shnf
I think you are right. Memories ay. We were up the back in the corner and there was a ledge we were standing on and in front there was a a heap of bikies choofing away. We were engulfed in a cloud of smoke which was good because we turned up ripped anyway.
Ha! I remember seeing a while bunch of bikies going in and thinking they were in the wrong place... I was at the front, right hand side. I actually recorded it on mini-disc, had it with a mic in my shirt pocket. Such a great show!
