It was a fuckin\' awesome show! Seriously made me consider doing the madison show tomorrow night, just need to see if my wife\'s gonna let me out 2 nights in 1 week. It\'s definitely worth being sleep deprived at work though. And the recording sounds phenominal, definitely one of my best efforts

Thanks for the effort.

Also I think I read on another board you were questioning where to set up and if a stand was gonna be an issue. Where did you end up setting up ? And did you run a stand or clamp ?

Not that it matters was just curious

HLH->Tricky Ways(slow) seems very interesting to me...I hope it just morphed out of the end of HLH instead of just dropping.  If it does this could be the Tricky Ways that changes people\'s minds about a GREAT Breakfast song.  I for some reason just picture this happening along the lines of Jesus Just Left Chicago would slowly morph out of Ghost or what have you in Phish\'s heyday.

Not that it matters was just curious

i taped this show also. i clamped to a bar that went across the center of the room and like 15 feet back from the stage. the recording sounds great. one of my best in a while.

i also shot video with 2 cameras with another guy who was there seeing the band for the first time.

. last night was a lot of fun and i think it was worth coming out here for that show alone..

crowd was a little light, but not bad. there were more people there than when the band played daniel st on a thursday. i was surprised to see a lot of people who i have never seen who were singing along. the band needs to keep coming back here to play. the locals dig the breakfast

Post by: melanie on September 28, 2007, 05:39:15 pm
at 1st i was definitely hoping for 2 sets out of habit i suppose, which was crowd-dependent ... till i looked at my watch and realized it was 3:30am our time meaning they had played nearly 2 hours 1 set.  the crowd was really into it but a lot of people left during ? which sucked because thats one of my favorites and well everyone should appreciate it.
whats-his-name did a nice job with the mix in that you could actually hear matt play which was fantastic.  ;)
tough drive out.  we\'re lucky we did make it.  
for that spunk ... i think it was worth it.

It\'s a possibility that it was teased somewhere in that 40 min Spunk... I\'m a Breakfast newb so I wouldn\'t have picked up on it. Plus it was on the original onstage setlist that Tim gave me.

original setlist:

Jam >
Chase
STL
HLH>
Tricky Ways
Score
?
Message in a bottle
--------------------
spunk
mayfly
grand scheme
jump

Thank god they didn\'t play jump... I just saw RAQ do that in Milwaukee the previous thursday.

16 bit is almost done uploading to the LMA... after that i\'m gonna upload the 24 bit version.

Post by: Gordo on September 28, 2007, 09:32:08 pm
great time last night. highlights were definitely HLH and Spunk. Surprised no one has made mention of the breakdown in Scheme (I believe it was Scheme) where Matt started scatting with his lead organ, which he probably shouldn\'t do (or start practicing a lot) because he\'s lacking the scat skills and looked awkward the entire time, and then the whole band went into a vocal jam while Ron continued to play bass.. it actually dropped into a straight hip-hop beat with Matt literally rapping (this was pretty cool), Tim backing up with some rhymes and beats, and Adrian throwing some higher pitched sounds in. If I remember correctly that all went down after Adrian\'s drum solo in scheme. I could be wrong though, but nonetheless, it did happen.
The show opened shaky though, and the sound was 100% to blame. The bass was drowning out almost everything, especially the drums and keys. Tim still came through a bit but the mix was way off until HLH. The sound guy didn\'t appreciate me and my buddy telling him the bass had to come down but it was absolutely obvious in my opinion. It ended up working out though, and the sound quality actually went from horseshit to phenomenal during HLH.
Speaking of Harry, absolutely absurd! They stretched it out and peaked gloriously, brought it down gradually and spaced out the unfinished close. Just great shit, I can\'t wait to listen to it again. Slow Tricky Ways is the way to go, imo. It was definitely appropriate for Chicago. I think Tim\'s voice actually sounded better than it being uptempo and I\'m just generally a bigger fan of classic, blues lead-guitar pace, especially with Tim\'s limitless skills. Matt sounded okay in TW.
Question Mark was a big surprise and I loved hearing it live. Standard, I guess, but a tune I never expected to hear and I\'ve always loved it on Deuce. Score is always tasty, works as a boogie-channel every time. But I did notice that Ron seemed tired and continued to through the rest of the show. Don\'t get me wrong, he still sounded good, he\'s a professional and a damn impressive one at that, but I\'ve seen him much more into it than last night which usually works for more creativity and thump. Tim and Adrian were feeling damn good though.
Then cam Spunk. I don\'t know how long Spunk was but I completely forgot what was going on and got lost in some incredible shit for a looong time. Perhaps the rap breakdown was in Spunk actually, I don\'t know, but they went to places I\'ve never heard them, or anyone for that matter, go. When it dropped back into a specific lick of Spunk I was shocked and fell back to Earth feeling "goose-pimply alll over". Unbelievable, it\'s just hard to describe what was going on. Fuck, as I\'m thinking this I remember a jam where Matt\'s piano laid down the perfect tone for something drawn out and beautiful. Scheme perhaps? Shit, everything is getting twisted now. Scheme, anyways, was an absolute treat. People say "heard one heard em all"... I say "I wish to hear them all". The song will never get old to me, it\'s a lyricless anthem that puts me in a fucking fantasy world every time. I feel like I should be climbing a glowing copper strato, barefoot as the sun smerks at me, all the while Scheme pumping through a lush jungle-land below. Ha, that\'s ridiculous, but I love it every time. Adrian tore up his drum solo per usual.
The encore was solid closure, but not gonna lie I was hoping for more being that the bar didnt close for at least another hour. I guess I\'ll just have to settle for 2.5 straight hours of goodness.

Overall, the show was great as always. To be honest, I think Matt is a necessity to the band being that keys are a necessity to this band. The layer of the organ really allows jams to get where they need to go. I think he is clearly talented, but I\'m not going to say I was that stoked on his overall stage presence and solos as an individual. Things seemed unnatural more than a few times, especially when he stepped up to the mic. He fits in well for awhile, and others not so much. I do, however, love the fact that shit in general seems more experimental. And, once again, the organ is just so good to hear underneath the Trio. I\'ll give the show a 7.5-8, knowing they have potential to own last night in Madison and really hope they do. I also need more Oestricher to get past the awkwardness I felt watching him last night.

btw, Tim had some good banter last night, one quote about Oprah Winfrey (during Spunk? I think) that I can\'t recall specifically but was funny, and he congratulated Chicago on finally getting Fat Tire and then took a gulp of his Fat Tire.

Things seemed unnatural more than a few times, especially when he stepped up to the mic. He fits in well for awhile, and others not so much. I do, however, love the fact that shit in general seems more experimental. And, once again, the organ is just so good to hear underneath the Trio. I\'ll give the show a 7.5-8, knowing they have potential to own last night in Madison and really hope they do. I also need more Oestricher to get past the awkwardness I felt watching him last night.

btw, Tim had some good banter last night, one quote about Oprah Winfrey (during Spunk? I think) that I can\'t recall specifically but was funny, and he congratulated Chicago on finally getting Fat Tire and then took a gulp of his Fat Tire.

Listen to Ron>Matt>vocal jam at the beginning of Spunk. . . . .and listen to the boys feed off of Matt\'s downtempo.  Personally, I loved it.

First time hearing them with Matt.  I must say, my tongue is still dirty from the floor of the Kinetic Playground\'s filth, provided by Matt, Tim, Adrian and Ronnie.  Thanks.

BTW, can I get rid of the "newbie" sig on my profile name.  Pec, grandfather me in!!

Wow, the HLH is really good, especially the jam that begins around the 14 or so minute mark.  The segue into the Tricky Ways is almost exactly like I wanted/imagined it to be.  Even though I am a fan of the original, the slowed down version of Tricky Ways seems like the better way to go in the future.  Really wish I had gone to this midwest run, if this is the what they brought the rest of the weekend.

I wish that they explored the reggae vibe of MiaB more now that they have Striker.  It could really make that a decent cover for them to play.  This version barely grazed it and really, Matt just sounds like an afterthought during most of this version, up until he starts to state the theme on keys at about 5:55. The jam that then ensues is pretty interesting and seems like it really wants to get "out there", but for some reason they just won\'t leave the main theme of the song.

I  enjoy Matt\'s minimalist approach to Spunk coming as a counterpoint to Ron tearing up his part and building that sliding/rising bass line to a climax.  Juxtaposition was always a favorite of mine in Literature, apparently I like it in music also.  The scatting definitely didn\'t work in this version, felt like it went on forever(it is much more on point after the hip-hop beat fades).  With experimentation, comes good and bad results.  The "Chariots of Fire" tease is cool/funny.  The rap is actually pretty cool, even though it is more spoken word, however it really is interesting...keep exploring boys.  The end of Spunk, before Tim\'s banter, is very tight...good thing to hear.  Too bad Striker didn\'t continue on with that little piano intro into the Scheme, probably just needs a little more time to get comfortable with things.  

LOVE the jazz feel that Striker has brought to this band, it feels like they are reworking all of their songs right there in front of you.  I might actually get my wish now, as far as Scheme turning into the experimental/improvisational MONSTER it should be.  They are just scratching the surface on what this song could become live.  It really could be like opening a pandora\'s box(but in a good way;)).  I feel there will come a day that when Scheme is in a set, said set may only have enough time for 3, MAYBE 4 other songs...exciting!!!  Sincerly epic version of Scheme.

Ronnie is probably my MVP of this show, however, because of how much he held it down no matter what mayhem was happening.  They are playing as a single unit so well these days, that it is hard to pick an MVP, and stick with it.  You cannot help but be incredibly excited about this band right now if you are truly a fan...Hi-OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

listening for the third time i can agree with four things:
1) the bass was a tad too loud, but
2) fuck it, ronnie killed it!!
3) tw is great slow
and 4) creative noodling can have bad and good results (scatting>vocal jam w/ freestyle).

I\'m pretty fuckin\' speechless about this show.  It\'s been almost a year since I had last seen them and they just blew me away.  This and the Madison show are the two best Breakfast shows I have seen (which is only 6).  Matt\'s addition to this band is the best thing that has happened to this band in years, IMO.  Don\'t get me wrong.  I loved the orginal PB and the Trio, but Matt\'s technical prowess just allows them to go places that downright scary.   I need to go listen to this one again.  And it was great to see those two fucking knuckleheads who drove out all the way from CT.  :biggrin:

Quote from: gordo
The show opened shaky though, and the sound was 100% to blame. The bass was drowning out almost everything, especially the drums and keys. Tim still came through a bit but the mix was way off until HLH. The sound guy didn\'t appreciate me and my buddy telling him the bass had to come down but it was absolutely obvious in my opinion. It ended up working out though, and the sound quality actually went from horseshit to phenomenal during HLH.
:sigh:

just as i thought.
he was doing the same thing on the boat cruise around manhattan and i was wondering if it was a trend or whatnot.
we were pretending to be pirates from the house>car>train>subway>cab>peer for that show so it cracked me up when he did that on stage when we were on the ship. it made me laugh to hear it again out there.
