warning shots...

...were fired right from the start last night at Roxy in Boston. Warning shots that the show was going to be hot!. Thievery Corporation took the stage for their last North American tour date before hitting Europe, and Eric Hilton and Rob Garza brought their eclectic mix of Jamaican reggae, Indian chanting, electronica, and Brazilian bossa nova into life with the help of a large band. The results may not have been as crystal clear as their recordings are, but the music had SOUL! And all the guest vocalists, veterans from TC's CDs delivered.

The night's playlist featured songs from every CD Thievery Corporation has put out, including 2005's "The Cosmic Game". The show's most lively moments were when the Brazilian singer (pictured on top) came on stage for her rendition of the songs previously featuring Bebel Gilberto on the CDs. She is as talented as good looking. Also, guest vocalist Sleepy Wonder (heard on "Warning Shots" and regular Notch brought the house down through numerous tracks including "Warning Shots", "The Richest Man in Babylon", and "The State of the Union".
