The Tampa Theater is intimate, dark and ornate. It feels like its 84-years old.Matisyahu came on stage around 8pm to a sold out crowd with a microphone and some guy named Adam on guitar. Raylon and I were sitting in the back but I took several opportunities to get close to capture him. He played a brand new song, "Sunshine," as well as crowd favorites, "King Without a Crown," and "One Day." He also played my personal favorite, "Jerusalem." He stopped about 3/4 through the show to answer an array of questions. He mentioned doing some future collaboration with Idan Raichel and bumping into Buju Banton in his Tampa hotel. Somebody brought him a Heineken. He ended each song with some of his terrific beat-boxing.
It was a warm and melodic evening. Special thx to Raylon for the Four Loko.
