There were Israel flags in the crowd, but Matisyahu kept his political commentary tamped down last Friday.
The reggae and pop songwriter did take a spill onstage, injuring his ankle.
Creative Loafing Tampa Bay photographer Ryan Kern said the 44-year-old got help from a crowd member, who shared their crutch with him. He used it the rest of the night and even managed to go crowd surfing during what was a memorable First Friday set at St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live.
Cydeways opened the show.
