Setlist: 2007-03-10 - Knitting Factory; New York, NY

[Todd]

Wow that girl screaming during Eschers is more annoying than Fran Drescher....

YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ...and, don\'t you mean the whole fucking show??? DAMN!!! She needs some new material and/ or a jar of peanut butter shoved down her trote!!

[Spacey]

Golgi should definitely be scrapped. Just not feeling it as a cover. Once was cool, twice might so soon, a little too much.

An average show with most of its highlights coming in the jams of the songs. HLH jam was ser and Escher\'s was also hot. The jam in Rust was really nice from Tunage. The Late and The Great > Overexposure was really a highlight with the best jamming coming at this time.

Average show. Typical Breakfast curse of people leaving at setbreak. It is cool to hate the Breakfast.

[Gfunk]

It is cool to hate the Breakfast.

Gfunk = Uncool loser.
Leith = One cool dude.

[Overexjoesure]

IMNSHO, funk does NOT belong in Eschers\'s. Maybe I need more listens, but I do not think I will change my mind about this.

They aren\'t generic funk changes though. In fact that section of the song sounds more like it came from an Alphose Mouzon or George Duke song.

YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! ...and, don\'t you mean the whole fucking show??? DAMN!!! She needs some new material and/ or a jar of peanut butter shoved down her trote!!

YEAHHHHHHHHHH ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

[Spacey]

I really enjoyed this verison of Escher\'s 3 and 4, which techincally, I guess, completes Escher\'s saga from Northampton. Good tune.

:lol: Zing! Pow!

[Me!]

I heard Adrian say he felt L&TG>OE was their best tune of the night.  I was worried with them playing it with the drastic drop in numbers between sets, that it would be tame, but they definatley played their hearts out on it.  My highlight for the evening.  I really don\'t understand why people don\'t like L&tG. It honestly baffles me, but hey to each their own.

[Jim Cobb]

Me! knows i love that tune.  TL&TG>OE was my personal highlight for the evening.  that was a monster.

[Mamalakabubadaya]

the best part of the late and the great is overexposure.

[Stephengencs]

the best part of the late and the great is overexposure.

that is a very Walsh-esque comment........idiotic yet designed to ZING.....

This show was tough, well, at least for me it was.  It felt like to me, for the first time since I have been seeing this band, that the band\'s performance was effected by the attendance of the show.......I probably need to hear this one again before making any kind of statement like this, but that was the feeling I had all night....It was quite depressing and disheartening.......Honestly, this is the first time I have allowed myself to start thinking about upcomming shows since Saturday.  

The closer Saturday gets, the better I start feeling though........

[Jim Cobb]

i feel ya stevesy, but there was definitely a kind of energy during tl&tg>oe that really got them going.  i\'ve played to huge crowds, i\'ve played to next to no one, and i\'ve played to small crowds (in big rooms) of just my good friends, and theres really something to be said for playing to just the people who are close to you and having them return that energy as few as they may be.  it\'s a different kind of energy.  getting huge amounts of anonymous energy from huge crowds is fucking great, but getting energy when you exactly who and where it\'s coming from is pretty special in a different way.

[Stephengencs]

Believe me bro, I have seen a couple hundge breakfast shows in front of all sizes of crowds, and I witnessed, for the first time, at the knitting factory, what appeared to be the band in aweshocked disbelief at the lack of attendance, and it hampered their performance, in my opinion.  However, I do believe that it could have just been me projecting my feelings on the performance, but something wasn\'t right in my personal opinion....

Am I giving up?  Fuck NO.

Do I still believe in this band? Fuck YES

What is my ultimate point? I have no fucking idea......

Agreed

[Gfunk]

I hope the band doesn\'t take doozies as badly as we do. I mean, they have to forget about the doozies and remember the shows like Stone church, moe.down, 10k lakes, puppet house etc. I just hope they don\'t get easily discouraged (which they apparently don\'t because we all know they\'ve played more than their fare share of doozies).

[Jim Cobb]

What is my ultimate point? I have no fucking idea......

"Why? What\'s the significance? I don\'t know!  
Exhibit "Q"!  A scale model of the entire mall!  "X" marks the scene of the crime. These arrows mark the sun\'s position at the hour of the crime! Jupiter was aligned with Pluto! The moon was in the Seventh...
Please save your questions until I\'m through!"

"Well, when will that be? A long time, we wait. We\'ve been here over three hours.  I\'m not sure if any of us can see what this is supposed to mean!"

"Supposed to mean? Supposed to mean?! I think everyone here knows what this is supposed to mean.  When you\'ve gone over something again and again...and again and again...like I have...certain questions get answered.  Others spring up!  The mind plays tricks on you. You play tricks back!  It\'s like you\'re unraveling a cable-knit sweater...that someone keeps knitting...and knitting and knitting...and knitting and knitting and knitting!"
