“Positive Energy” is right Friday night at Sam Bond’s Garage felt like someone plugged the whole city of Eugene straight into a reggae-fueled battery. Black Prophet rolled in from Ghana and, honestly, just set the place on fire (not literally, relax). That room was packed, sweaty, and humming with this wild, contagious optimism. 
From the second the band kicked off, you could feel it like the air got thicker with bass. Black Prophet’s sound? Dude’s got that real reggae vibe, but then he weaves in these African drum grooves and a bit of rock edge. It’s not just music; it’s like this spiritual pep talk you can dance to. And the crowd? Swaying, singing, grinning like idiots in the best way. You could tell people needed this some honest-to-god feel-good vibes after, you know, *life*.
By the time the last chord faded, people looked like they’d just come out of a sauna sweaty, smiling, a little stunned. Black Prophet didn’t just play a show; he basically jumpstarted Eugene’s soul. If the rest of the “Positive Energy” tour hits like this, man, buckle up.
