Fuckin\' Tribal

rush = animal?
details?
-
yes. jazzier and more "epic" feel than the other three new songs. biggest applause of the night
-
Great show. Really liked the lounge atmosphere. Getting intimate and moving everyone close second set was choice. Second set was solid. Love the new song Rush, farking killer, all animal. Sweet Georgia Brown was tight. They gave us a nice version of good things and then destroyed with a nuts tribal. The drum solo >gravity finished the night in strong fashion. Word.

i think Rush may have gotten the most applause i\'ve ever heard for a debut. and for me, personally, it wasn\'t like, "i need to hear it a few more times" - i liked it instantly. pretty sure that\'s what most of the room felt like.
caitlin, you throw a hell of an afterparty. ;)
but in all seriousness, chris, thanks for having us. :thumbsup:

yes, that reminds me - thanks to ulee for helping me take all the chairs in the room without asses in them at setbreak, and moving them towards the front. certainly made the second set look/feel much better.
nothing wrong with sitting at an acoustic show, but when all the seats are in the back, and there\'s just empty floor in the front, it\'s kinda sad. next week i\'ll be sure to have it ready that way for the first set, if daniel street doesn\'t.

Ooooooh doggy! Can\'t wait to wrap my ears around Rush.. sounds like something BIG!
-
oh and the vocals are so improved over a few months ago its silly. awesome vocal jam in gravity
-
Sweet Georgia Brown must have been fun for Matt.

Gravity was a highlight for me. Not just the song itself, but more-so the vocal jam. It really changed things up for a bit plus brought back some wonderful Phish memories. :) The new song Rush was really sweet. Can\'t wait to hear it again. They should book more acoustic shows, it\'s a nice change-up.

Rush comments after the show:
Chris: "Yea, it changed a lot from when adrian first brought it to us. It was a lot simpler and we decided to make it a lot heavier." (sic)
Adrian on my comment of his syncopation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncopation) during the verse: "yea, the whole thing is subdivisions. I\'m subdiving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuplet) the hell out of it. I\'ve got septuplets (7 beats in place of 4 or 7:4), novtuplets (9:4) and quintuplets (5:4) going on the snare and high hat and I\'m accenting different beats in those rhythms."
"Is it a set pattern, like a bar of 5 then 7, then 9 then repeat?"
"No, I want to keep it loose and jammy. If I structure it like that then I\'m stuck doing the same thing every time. It has a pattern right now, but I can change it at any time for now it goes bat-cka-cha-ba-BAT/ba-cha-cha-budda-cha..."
I don\'t remember the rhytmn he sang/drummed on the table to write it out but listen to the drums on this song. awesome song, will be a fan favorite in no time.

Sweet Georgia Brown must have been fun for Matt.
Ellis Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. played this at halftime of the NBA All-Star Game last night, and all I could think about was what Matt could do with that tune.

Rush was so epic that I dreamt last night that I went back to the venue just so I could hear it again. When I got to the venue sure enough they busted it out. So nice to hear this song twice within 12 hours.
Seriously, last night topped the previous week. Didn\'t think it was possible, but it was. Besides "Rush" being a new heavyweight on the circuit (if you don\'t have tears forming in your eyes while listening to the jam section, check your pulse), Escher\'s had a tearjerking minor/minor jam. I told Dave, "Best eschers". Why? Just the fluidness of the chord progression alone is well worth the title. It didn\'t seem like they were improvising in circles, but rather collectively building upon structure, something the old lineup seldomly did.
The latin fused Tribal Funk Affliction was another highlight, and the Gravity psychedelic vocal fest was the proper cherry on top to a ballsy evening of bar raising.

i almost forgot about that! loved it.
great, great show. rush was epic indeed. all around great playing by a group of amazingly talented musicians. they just keep getting better and better --- we are all very lucky people to be part of it.
-
DMB tease?
I have to hear.
-
i cannot wait to hear rush...who recorded?
-
tapers = ken, fitz, & dave, from what i remember. Qu- I mean, TFA- was insane, :duck: as was Adj\'s drum solo - pure madness (bongo playing with one hand, stick in the other hand) I loved this show so much more than last week... if this continues, next week\'s show won\'t be one to miss! Great energy & times all around - thanks to this band that keeps on rocking me, baby ;)
-
Wow, I\'ve never seen Daniel Street have such energy before. Amazing show. I really think I need to get more converts in next Sunday.....
-
Qu- I mean, TFA- was insane
nice fix robyn.
that mothereffin\' beverly hills theme [duh]. it was bothering me all night because i couldn\'t figure it out and i didn\'t think it was going to get posted to the setlist.
a big hells yeah for the vocals!!! it\'s adding so much to the performances. gravity was so heavy.
rush=great. it\'s funny because the friend i brought to the show last night was with me at mohegan last weekend, and we were commenting on the "slots sound"; that very "major" chord sound. i was hearing that in matt\'s chords and runs last night, it sounded a lot like being in the middle of the game floor.

Fuckin\' Tribal

Oh come on, that sentence wasn\'t so bad that it warranted a [sic] here on .info.
:lol:

-

missed you much last night. :(

Just use vacation time, like I do. :P
-
Rush actually sounds extremely Biscuitsy in its composed sections, the jam section resembles tDB only more fluid in that each element is open for constant improv and more runs. I love it.
-
on april 1 when i reup maybe.....but they won\'t last long if i use them everytime i cain\'t make a show.
-
General announcement: If you\'re anywhere within 100 miles (more or less) of Daniel St. on Sunday...I strongly encourage you to get your butt in a vehicle and drive to Milford. 4:30 to 7:30..you will not be disappointed.
-
Forgot to ask this earlier. Sylvia... is this an old song? I\'ve never heard it before. I\'m guessing it\'s theirs and not a cover.
-
Cover by the fantastic Dutch progressive rock powerhouse known as Focus.
-
Ah, I see. Thanks!
-
Gravity got the best of me...
