Tonight was one of the first times I\'ve seen the boys in the city in a while. The king, Chris and I drove down getting there sometime during the Razi set. These guys kick ass! Check them out next time there around. Drew called it when he said "There like a teenage mahavishnu orchestra". good stuff. On to the show.
Inner Glimpse was a good opener and got the crowd going. The band was obviously having trouble with the inner ear monitor system throughout the show and it started here. Regardless, you couldn’t tell out on the floor. As Tim put it between songs, "Well, as long as you can hear it out there and it sounds good." Onto sleeping beauty. This song is weird; sometimes I think it’s great, other times I could care less. I don’t mean the particular night’s performance, but the song itself. There’s just something about it that I haven’t gotten yet. Either way, last night was one of the stellar versions and I thought the song was kickin. Next the boys ripped the walls off the place with No regret. That guitar riff is just so damn heavy.
None of first three songs had any jamming and they all seemed to fly by. But anyone who wanted some jamming didn’t have to wait long: etcher’s etchings baby! But alas, it was a tease. Only the second time I\'ve seen them split etchers. The Etcher’s>doughboy segway leaves something to be desired and you could see Tim and Jordan laughing at each other as they did it. It sounded like they sharply changed key. Rhythm was good, but something in the tonic didn’t quite resonate out they way you would expect it to. So here we are 5 songs in and still no substantial jamming. Just as I was starting to think tonight was going to be a 30 song ramones-esque set, they pulled one out of the closet! First non-tour Peaches en Regalia since 6/6/03 in La Choza, Pittsfield, Mass! May not seem like much, but a crowd favorite from the days of LDZ>HDX being played for the first time in over a year for the local fans is always a reason to celebrate. One word for the peaches: TIGHT! Throw a telephone solo and a sax in there and you got the recipe for some hot rats. But did it stop there? Nope! Beef barley! Another one that I haven’t heard in a while. A nice long synth solo leading into Tim ripping it up before the chorus came back in several minutes later. Damn, two old songs in a row. Could it get any better?
Tribal funkafliction sealed the deal. Nice and heavy, the only thing better than watching Tim getting down was watching Diana head banging :P
Well, before you knew what was going on, we\'re back into etchers part two and the crowd was fluid by this time. Everyone is getting down, bringing back memories of tobacco rd. Back out of etchers and a return to tribal before the segays finally stopped and everyone got to take a breather. Tim introduced an old song that will be on the next album and went into Fairy (4.0, since it’s the 4th reincarnation of the song). I love this version of the song. It’s so damn heavy with giant nirvana sounding distorted chords ringing throughout. The mellow version did nothing for me, but ever since they changed it this is a personal favorite. Great big fiery ball is debated to be the best version ever by some, but I\'d have to hear it again. It was definitely a great version either way, especially the jam at the end. It was so far off from gbfbits that it felt like i left the building, hailed a cab, drove down to phili and hung out for a week before out of nowhere we\'re all back in the knitting factory watching the vermont song. How the hell did that happen? Vermont sealed the deal for me. I figured this was it, then a 3-4 song encore to close it out.
Nope - Grand scheme! Adrian was really playing with the intro, doing a delayed drum riff that sounded like he was fading away. Only thing it did was make the song that much louder when the band came in. Scheme is always a treat, and I did not expect to get it tonight at all. Especially with a drum solo. Some quick introductions when the band came back out and the scheme goes out with a bang. Could have been the end of the show, but the crowd (especially peck:P ) demanded one more song. Back out for vera st. calm everyone down for the end of the night. Completely different mood now, and out of nowhere Tim starts rocking in the free world! first time I’ve heard it since new years. Adrian sang as usual. The first half of the first verse you couldn’t even hear him. Then he got brought up and everything was going good until the second verse, when his mic fell out of the stand, and then the stand fell over. Tim to the rescue. While still playing guitar (sort of), Tim first tried holding the mic for Adrian, then set it up again for him. Wait for it to come around again, and the rest of the song went off perfect.
Damn, what a night. What started off as a cut and dry show turned into a jam fest reminiscent of rudys on a thursday night. glad to see everyone, even if I was stuck behind the camera most of the night and didn’t really get around. Wolf, nice lighting job considering what they gave you to work with.
-
last night was quite a treat. by far my faveorite NYC venue to see them at (besides the ol\' Tobacco Rd) Traibal was awesome. Scheme was awesome. The Hebrew beers before the show were nice. Kosher i believe. Rezi..deffinatley a fun band and the guitar player told me Tim was by far his faveorite guitarist and Breakfast his faveorite band. cant argue that. Wolf, considering what you had to work with, nice job. That was great when Adrians mic fell over and he came back into the next verse with some real flare (check out recording for specifics). Very very fun night.

Great review Paul.......
I feel bad for all the suckas going to Coventry. I am sure it will be special, and blah, blah, blah, but to me there is nothing special about port-o-pots with pooh piled higher than the seat....
The NINE will be SO FINE!
Glad to hear the show was as sick as I imagined it would have been.
How was the crowd?
Well Bob and Willie start in about 6 hours. And today looks like a great day to BOOM.....
peace!

last night definitely rocked, as i expected it would. sooooooo happy to see a lot of people were at the show. The place was nicely packed. hopefully that means the breakfast can play there more often.
paul, great review. my neck is always soar after a breakfast show. i\'ll never be able to shake my head-banging roots!
my sincere thanks goes out to mike and jon for catching me before i fell flat on my back on the dance floor last night! yeah.... let\'s just say i had a few to many........ sorry for being such a sloppy drunk!
-
Last nights show blew my mind, every song was perfect, and its too abd they aren\'t playing in NYC tonight again :D
Awesome stuff, can\'t wait to see them again

College guys, my friends brother was in a band with the keyboardist, which worked out perfectly. Jason Press(keyboardsit) is 20 I believe. I\'m sure the others are all around there. Their set was 45 mintes long , and they jammed the hell out of thier songs. Awesome stuff.
You can listen to pretty much any of their songs if you go to http://www.rezi.org and go to their music section. Great stuff.
-
yeah, they are young. Phil the guitarist is the oldest member and he turned 21 last april.
of course, they are much older than when i first saw them. when i first saw them their drummer was a freshmen in high school. (the switched to a different drummer last summer) but this was still 4 years ago.

Yeah i hear The Breakfast got this geezer on guitar he\'s like 25.

I am responsible for the "Rezi is like a teenage Mahavishnu Orchestra" comment. Geez Paul, what\'s been clouding your memory?
Rezi is SICK. It\'s a good thing they were opening for The Breakfast, because they\'d show up almost any other band they opened for...just like TB does.

What\'s this TB you speak of ? Only TB i know of is Tuberculosis. I guess if you\'re bestest buds you can ignore their explicit request not to refer to them as TB.

i am uploading my recording of that show to archive.org. it should be avalable either late tonight or tomorrow morning. No offense to mike, but i deleted his recording off my hard drive after comparing it to mine. Check them both out and decide for yourself though.
-
Experience usually wins out Chris. Thanx for the tip. I will def. check it out.

I thought yours had too much low end, especially in the kick drum. I will probably be putting my audio over the video if it ever gets edited.

Any idea whne your recording will be up chris? Did you upload it already and archive just isn\'t showing it yet, or are you still waiting to upload it?

I listened to both recordings and they sound great! Now, lets bash the sound guy for mixing too much kick drum in the PA.
hope to see some of you guys at cafe9,
Matt

the kick drum sounded louder on mike\'s than on mine. You can hear what ron is playing a little better on mine because the kick drum is not competing with ron\'s bass as much as on mike\'s recording.
-
Just been reading this and looks like I will have to download chris\' recording too. This is a first for me, but as it was just one hell of a show, will have to break the rules.
As for comments about Ron\'s bass, I thought it sounded great on mike\'s recording - particularly on Doughboy. If chris\' recording has even more of it,this is a must.
