The Call is a great spot for a show. The place has a great flow to it from when you walk in to when you go up to the bar. I love the fact that the floor infront of the stage is sunken down and the remains the height of the bar floor. This provides a great view of the band from just about everywhere in the place....
Beef Barley as an opener really pulled the people into the show from jumpstreet last night.
The LDZ was hard, clear, and rocking. By this time I knew that the breakfast were clicking on all cylinders and then some. At every breakfast show I have been to, there is always a point in the show where it marks it for me as "better than the last show I saw" The jam>Gravity and then the Gravity Jam was that mark. Creative, fluid, interesting, and just plain sick.
I was never a huge fan of the the breakfasts version of cinnamon girl. I may have seen it once or twice, but last night the cinnamon girl out of gravity was amazing. the music and vocals were tight as all git down. Definately benefited from following out of that Gravity.
The Chase and Inner Glimpse were well but pailed in comparison to what they followed, and for that matter proceeded. Episode 2 last night definately gives the sullys a run for its money. I cant wait to hear this show again. I couldnt believe what my ears were hearing at times....
I was hoping for a 2 set show. What better way to start off a second set than with your 2 new fan favorites. No Regret and Doughboy are great songs that need to be played. Not to go off on a tangent related to Walshys post that i glared over quick before posting here.
The inverted See The Light was great. Here is another missed opportunity for the band to break a song up in a set. Regardless it was tight and had a feeling of space that I have never gotten from that tune before. Then > Score which is, in my opinion, one of the funkiest breakfast tunes ever. Save Spears (my MVP) just beating out Timmy by a nose, was throwing it down all night and didnt miss a beat on Score.
The Scarlet Begonias was necessary for them to do after all but Timmy sitting in with the opening band on Fire On The Mountain.
As for No Glove No Love. The lyrics of the tune should be dropped and the song renamed Wah Wah Wah Wah. Done and Done...
I have heard some people, in talking about the breakfast, say that they are a tallented band but all their stuff sounds pretty much the same. To those people I tell them to check out Fairy. What a rocking tune that is not just all out speed.
Wah, I told you I heard Stash teses in the Gladys Pimp. And What a GPATKWM it was. Had me dancing hard througout. The jam>Son Of Simpleton was definately a shout to Mikey who had missed a few shows of late where the band just ripped up all of his favorites. Personally I think every breakfast show should start or end with Son of Simpleton.
The Jumping Jack Flash is a great cover for these guys to keep in their repatoir and a great way to send us off into the rainy night. All in all, it was an amazing time, and it was great to see everyone that made the trip....
As I mentioned, for me, the MVP was Save Spears who just squeaked passed Timmy. I think that MVP is based on which band memeber you watch most. Because Animal was tucked away in the back, I couldnt really get a good shot at him. I was Jordan side for a while right under the organ and it was SICK. Then for the rest of the night I was all over Save and Timmy. But when it was all said and done, my eyes were on Save throwin it and holdin it down......
Todd, thanks for the ride....I must have been a drooling freak of a mess on the way home. All I remember is getting into the truck, and waking up in Staven.......
Sweaty Tour 04 continues for me, NOT TONIGHT. Tonight I am taking a well deserved night off and doing anything but going to Southport Brewing Company for The Smokin Boomers show. I am sure it will be sick, epic, and legendary, but I GOTTA SAVE IT UP FOR SUNDAY NIGHT TIMMY TOUR 04 at the Acoustic Cafe...........
