It kicked ass. Michael Franti came out and sang on "The Chariot" and with his non sexist attitude said "Stood Like Kings (and Queens)" Everyone had a chuckle. He also did hip dancing with Felix and all the ladies cheered. The guys also brought out a local sax player, can't remember his name but he came up with a few bands over the weekend, but he rocked.

t was AWWWSOOOMMEEEEEE!!!! not the best i've seen them play, but Franti really funked it up... it was acually quite funny, he didnt know the lyrics so they got the audience to teach it to him... he did this madd freestyling for a few minutes - totally reggae style

but he didnt like the line "we never yielded to conformity
but stood like kings," so everytime it came to singing this line, he'd sing "we never yielded to conformity but stood like kings and queens" and this went on for about 10 minutes... it was just sooo funny, me and my sister laughing throughout the song
