Cali Vibes Fest 2/17

 

It was an incredible day of live music at the Cali Vibes Festival in Long Beach. Coming on to the stage to present the Saturday Co-Headliner was B-Real AKA Dr. Greenthumb, of Cypress Hill, and he RELLY set the tone! After a quick intro he starts the chant...

 

"WHEN I SAY LET'S GET, YOU SAY STOOPID!"......."LETS GET" and the crowd followed up with a roar of "STOOPID!!!!" 

 

The band took the stage, the drums kicked off, followed up the horns, and everyone else fell into place. "IF YOU WANT IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT NOW! IN ANY WAY YOU WANT TO GOoOoOOO"!!! It was such an epic intro.

 

Followed up by some of their best hits like Officer & 2AM, they came back their most recent release "Got Me On The Run", with Kaleo Wassman on stage featuring him on Vocals. Its really incredible to see these guys show their continual support year after year, most recently at Dry Diggings in 2023 now down to Cali Vibes in 2024.

 

 "Come Around" would play next, and as Miles told me in earlier in the day at the meet and greet.. "We are going to play some punk shit tonight" and had real a big smile as he said it lol, So I kinda knew Come Around (Punk) would happen, and just as I thought, it followed up the original song and I turned the concrete into my personal mosh pit lol, it was a blast and even though I was in a circle pit by myself, everyone loved the energy and vibes.

 

Later in the set we had another appearance by the man himself, B-Real aka Dr. Greenthumb! He featured on Vocals in a Stoopid cover of the Cypress Hill song "What's your number". This was another special moment as it was their first time ever playing this track. If you didnt get a chance to be there or hear this then I recommend checking out the recorded stream on Facebook at "The Slightly Stoopid Couch Tour" or any other recordings you may find.

 

Perfect Gentleman would incite me to start another circle pit and some two stepping while the surrounding crowd danced in unison. It was close to the end of the set and Closer To The Sun started playing. This song always gets me emotional, im not sure why but it really hits me hard. What an incredible track.. the riffs, the melodys, the beat, the lyrics, the compassion put into this song. I especially love it when Karl Denson hits the Sax solo, I almost always lose my mind lol. 

 

These guys put themselves together time after time, year after year, and continue to perform songs that melt your face! This night was another one for the books and I couldn't be more thankful to be apart of it. Thank you to Slightly Stoopid for the memories, and to all the Stoopidheads / Ese Locos out there!!!! 

 

Much love all, STAY STOOPID!
