Setlist: 19-08-2004 Boston (3rd and best show of 3)

SUPPORT ACT: Maceo and his band
(start: 7:35pm)
This set may have been the same as yesterday, but I am not fully sure. Again, I have to totally guess at the song titles of what they played (please, someone correct where I have it wrong), but I believe they played six songs again:

1. ... ? (Yesterday they opened with Soul Power)
2. (Just) Gimme Some More
3. instrumental jam with long rap at the end -- something about 'Uptown'?
4. "Gonna Have a Funky Good Time. Gonna Take You Higher."
5. ... (again, no idea which song this was, but very cool slapping bass)
6. Make It Funky (did they play this sixth song? not sure now)

This set lasted for a little over a half hour I believe.

This was a great show. Definitely the best of the three Boston shows in my opinion. I'll do my best to give you some details of what I remember, without being redundant with my other two reviews.
