  latest word on INNER VISIONS :

  LIVE FROM  COLONY CAFE, WOODSTOCK, NY

   SIS D catches up with the band!



  7/12/08 - COLONY CAFE - WOODSTOCK, NY

            The Woodstock reggae community lives on! The reggaewoodstock.com
            team hosted a CD Release Party for FINALLY CAPTURED LIVE 
            recorded just down the road in Bearsville a mere 10 months
            ago! Come to think of it, that was the last time I got to
            see my fave band live (I just missed them when I visited
            St. John earlier this year). So, you can imagine this night
            was a special reunion for me! This performance was electric -
            my favorite kind, all originals! The band started off with
            many of their time-honored tunes. The Love One Another Medley
            captured the audience! Everyone on the dance floor! Then
            came Fire And Ice, Good Loving, MLK, Spiritual Dancer and
            many more. There were many inspirational additions and
            exciting nuances to these well-known songs. The acoustics
            of this landmark hall were fantastic, though the boys moved
            only as much as the tiny stage would allow. However, we
            could prance about downstairs or roam the balcony and still
            capture every moment.

            The second set was on FIRE as INNER VISIONS got in their groove!
            The band was all smiles as they really enjoyed this gig! Osisi
            started the fyah with Burn Down Babylon and got it raging
            with Push. Grasshopper beckoned us to the Frontline
            to SPEAK UP! In  Street Corner Musicians he taught us the
            many influences in the band's career. The crowd was 
            introduced to the conscious lyrics of the new ballad
            Mama Africa (How Long?). I love hearing a new song
            live first. I'm still hearing the chorus in my mind! So Nice
            featured exceptional harmonies between the elder Pickerings.
            The Rebel Medley, first heard on this new CD, created the
            ultimate bonfire! Energy just erupted from the stage and 
            there was noone in their seats. After Blasphemers closed 
            the show, we were treated to an encore that included another
            new tour-de-force original titled Hands Up!

            When I caught up with the boys after the show, I discovered
            that they had traveled non-stop from Atlanta GA the night
            before. What a testament to the hardest working reggae
            band in the Virgin Islands! It surely "ain't easy on the 
            road" in these times. It was great to have them back! Can't
            say when they'll be back.....you know I'll be there.            
                                  Bless up!

      Together now for 30 years, Reggae journeymen Inner Visions
      have been the Virgin Island's best kept secret for too long.
      Situated on the tiny Island of St. John, they've fought hard to
      overcome the more dominant calypso/soca music scene. Today,
      however, their music transcends all barriers.  With the release 
      of their album, "Frontline" the RAS-spect 
      they've struggled for - for so long - has finally come to bear!
