looks like a good time:)  the first of matt\'s final days with the band.....i wonder how that went?  reviews??

[Gordo]

Worst setlist I\'ve seen in ages.

I wonder if shit is uncomfortable on stage. This is a strange situation imo.

agreed...especially since things have been going so well for them.

lol i think i\'d be upset with a Vermont Song encore to be honest. who knows what it was like? i see some nice potential with that see the light>synergy... and i love reel time!

[FrankZappa]

if I lived in san francisco and only got to see the breakfast once or twice a year, I think I\'d be freaking out for a vermont song. Seeing them as much as I do though I\'d probably be indifferent. That said, it\'s always fun to see adrian on guitar.

[Vassillios]

the setlist isn\'t that bad... i\'m just surprised they haven\'t played rush this entire tour. tonight at crystal bay would make sense if they played it

I was at the show last nite, it was enjoyable, but not one of the better shows, pretty short show, ended at about 12:15.  beef barley i think was the highlight for me, reel time was a weak song to follow with I felt, the keys took center stage for much of the show and it was a \'happy\' vibe for most of it.  crowd was into it up until the end of synergy, then people left the dance floor and it seemed a good time for a set break, but people may have not come back for a second set on a monday.  I had about four or five people with me who had never seen them, mixed reviews, one was really into them while another lost interest halfway through the show...

i could see that happening... but it was a monday night. hopefully they\'ll be able to get out your way again soon.

true, i\'m ready for the two set epic throwdown, east coast festival style

I thought the show was pretty frickin\' ser and the crowd had a lot of energy for a Monday.  The setlist looks boring but the show was a totally different story.  Another Beef Barley jam that strayed so far outside its framework.  Matt was definitely out-of-control the whole night and he will certainly be missed.  Recalling an old Leith thread from last year, "Matt is a genius!". Didn\'t see any tapers.

Were you the guy yelling for a Gladys Pimp toward the end of the show?

[rayZENgoo]

i agree, the crowd was dancing hard and was into it, the instrument switch was another highlight, adrian\'s solo was dope.  i was not the one yelling for gladys, i heard that though, and my wife really wanted to hear it. i would have been surprised if they busted it out, especially since the bartender/owner? seemed to not be into the music and wanted them to stop.  He told them to turn it down during the soundcheck, and tim goes - aw, but it\'s rock and roll, and left it up!

It\'s hard to tell based on the setlist but the 2006 CT Yankee show was totally ser (Mooboo>HDX>LDZ>Mooboo or something like that, right?) and this looks a little less so.
