damn...now i kinda wish i went. you guys got puppetry?? dammit! and shakedown st? bah! oh well...you snooze you lose.
-
who sang no quarter?
-
i\'d have to say adrian..
-
I bet the attraction>spunk was a scorcher, and I got to say I love second sets that look like this... pretty much a marathon run of a few great songs.. you know everything is getting played HUGE, and I mean there ain\'t any fuckin commas, y0! gettin st00pid with the segues proves that the empire state gets the lovin everytime.. yah and a puppetry opener??:inky:
-
who sang no quarter?
Yes, Adrian.
Puppetry right out of the gates was insane!!!!! Def. the highlight of the night for me. Very fun show! So glad we chose to trek up for it. Too bad more islanders didn\'t chose to finish off the run!
But...I would have to give my props to the Wheelhouse Tavern show as being the winner of the top show of the run. Last night\'s show was VERY close musically speaking, but when you factor in all the other elements of a show...Wheelhouse...hands down!!
We were talking about Night Of The Thumpasaurus Peoples on the way to Albany and when we got there Mandler asked Tim about it. We were pretty sure it had never been done as a three piece and were basically begging for it. We totally thought we would be sooooory chipped, but when they busted out the tease we were loving it and totally surprised. Hopefully it will be resurrected fully some time soon!

Tough to say which was better, does there have to be a winner? I still need to hear the 2 Block Island shows, a few people told me that The Wheel House was better than the both of them, who knows I wasn\'t there. If I had to pick which was better between the last of RI and Albany, maybe as far as set lists and segues go I might give the Wheel House a slight edge, but as far as pure ferocity and playing how I hear them in my head whenever anyone mentions them, (someone has to know what I mean) the winner is the Red Square. Puppetry was absolutely filthy! I think the only thing that coulda topped it would be if they coulda somehow combined the Attraction>Spunk and the jam after the 1st verse till the end of No Quarter into one song. The second set was HUGE and the Grand Scheme was nasty as usual, if I remember right I think it completely ended before Superfly began, but who cares, I\'m probably wrong. Everything that was played was played HARD as hell, Thumpasaurus tease was nice, no comment on Shakedown though, and the well placed Intension was pure fire. Overall really good show, totally worth the drive and exhaustion from going to Narragansett, back home to work Saturday, and then driving back to Albany. If I didn\'t love driving so much I would be very upset by now. By the way, the Yankees just lost again. 11-5. Holy fuck do they suck! Good day to you all.

Wow...let me be one of the first to say this show was FUCKING AWESOME! Puppetry and the jam that preceeded it were very raw. GBFBITS was ripping from head to toe, hadn\'t caught that tune in a while and it was a nice treat. Attraction to Shade was also a very strong version. Highlight of the set for me I\'d have to say was No Quarter. Adrian sounded amazing on vocals and the boys absolutely killed it in the intro to the song. They had been playing a very Zeppelin-esque jam in the end of >Spunk and my buddy and I thought they were definitely going into "Achilles Last Stand". Very raw set, I was delighted when Tim mentions "We\'re going to take a set break". I look at my watch, Holy shit its like 1:40, time for a set break?!?! NIIICE!
Although I figured the show was going to be 2 sets to start with I figured maybe they\'d cut short to 1 set due to the 2 opening bands and not starting until after 12. I was very happy to find out that this was not the case and the Breakfast absolutely destroyed these 2 sets.
The Grand Scheme of Things was absolutely MURDERED by an extended drum solo by Adrian that absolutely tore the building apart. At the beginning of the song people were just sorta chilling spread out throughout the floor but by the end of Adrians solo a large tight semi-circle had formed around the pulsating drums pounded through the earth. I have never in my life, ever, heard a drum solo like this. Wow. I am soooo glad there was a taper there for this!
Things got funkyier than a motherfucker when the >Superfly Phaddy Fat dropped in. The Superfly also had lyrics "The Grand Scheme of Things" and "Shakedown Street" mentioned in the song. There was about 4 of us in the whole place that heard that 10 sec riff of "Thumpasaurus People\'s", totally thought they were about to go into the song when that shit got funky as fuck. The last time I had been to see the Breakfast in Albany was 8/5/04 when they busted out this set::
"wake up in a coma, dig, drunk monk bar, no glove, cinnamon girl, gravity,vera st., the chase, what the funk>phaddy boom baddy, drum intro>score, night of the thumpasaurus>give up the funk(tease), inner glimpse, taboo or not taboot
encore: superfly phaddy fat, karn evil 9"
Although they didn\'t play much of the P Funk tune it was a nice tribute. During this funk jam I also heard Tim singing the lyrics of "Moma Dance", although not in the mic, he walked over to Ronnie as if to ask if he wanted to play it (or atleast thats what it looked like), Spears shook his head no.
The "jam" section between this and Shakedown was really groovy. Some incredible funky interplay going on here. Spears was on FIRE! Laying down some of incredible lines. Shakedown Street was a nice treat (definitely didn\'t expect it). The peak of the funk climaxed in the jam that came out of Shakedown. I cannot even begin to explain how good this was (just wait for the recording).
It was funny because we had parked just up the street towards the Pepsi (meh) Arena , my buddy and I had gone to see Phish there on 12/1/03, the shakedown before the show was RIGHT behind where the Red Square is. That whole huge parking lot. We were commenting on our walk to the show about what a mob scene it was. Interesting to be back there to see a completely empty parking lot.
The band came to a shredding conclusion with Intension. Tim playing slide with one of his pedals, doing some sick finger tapping and playing his guitar with his feet. Some ridiculously awesome antics. Adrian throws the cymbal woooo. Rockstars.
Overall incredible show from the Breakfast. Definitely top 5 for me personally.

it was truly a masterful performane in parts. Tim was really playing guitar last night. He stuck mainly with the Fender, and also played keys quite a bit. The Shaledown featured a falsetto backing vocal (just gotta poke around) by Ron that may have been a bit "tongue in cheek". Adrian sang N Quarter about as good as might be expected if you\'re not Robert Plant; seriously, when they started it, I wondered who would sing, He or Tim, and it was Adrian.I would say this is the best I have heard them playing together, as an "ensemble" in a while. Maybe it was due to the fact this was night 4 of a 4 night run, band gelling and all that. Even though I am sure they were tired, they pulled it out , took the hammer and nails out and banged em right in to our heads last night. The show didn\'t end until around 3 AM (starting at Midnight) thanks in part due to Albany\'s rather generous bar opening hours.
Wow. I am soooo glad there was a taper there for this!

3 tapers in fact!
One of my top 10 for sure.! ( but I\'m too damn picky I guess)

I can\'t wait to hear that. I\'ve been wanting that segway for a while and I even made it myself and put it in the begining of the 1000th dvd while all the text was going by. Now they just need to finish my wich out:
atsd>spunk>enchidna\'s arf :drool:
-
Wow that would be incredible.
Though I don\'t believe that is technically a "\'wich." :P
-
Though I don\'t believe that is technically a "\'wich." :P
Not at all.

the show was redonkulous.... great, great time. The guys sounded awesome
And now a question. Yestersay, Good4Garry and I ventured to a Dunkin Donuts. There, we noticed that on the "No smoking" sign, there is braille of "No smoking" on the bottom of the sign. We were trying to wrap our heads around why they have this on the sign, and the circumstances that would lead a blind person to enter a dunkin donuts with the intention of getting some coffee and smoking, but then walking around aimlessly trying to find the braille on the "no smoking" sign, finding the braille, then thus not lighting up. We just simply couldn\'t figure it out. In the end, we came up with 3 conclusions. 1. We were going to try to figure out their reasoning behind this for the rest of the day (we were unsuccessful). 2. We decided that "Dunkin Donuts\' \'No Smoking\' signs have \'No Smoking\' in braille on the sign, why is this?" must be in the next "Food for Thought" and 3. We were "paying attention to the Psygn."

Waking up on d-Dubs\' couch to the sound of a fire alarm going off in the apartment because the Breakfast was burning seemed to have been a reality and not just a dream. After the Wheel House show (IMHO, was the best of the weekend), I spoke to Animal who convinced me to make the trek up to Albany and that I would not be sorry to miss it. I left RI around 2 and checked into Hotel TKA around 4pm. By 9pm we were heading to Albany, at 11 we were there. Sometime around 5, we looked for a sunset and around 1pm this afternoon I checked out. The craziness in the trek was what I felt in Albany. The Puppetry was just the fire built up from the past 3 nights carrying over. Absolutely flooring version. TGSOT was nice to hear but the gem in the 2nd set for myself was the Superfly Phaddy Fat where at times time substituted "The Grand Scheme of Things" and "A New Beginning" for lyrics and it was nice to get the Thumpasaurus tease. I don\'t really care for covers in a show but this crowd needed it. The Intention was the arena rocker it usually is. Would love to take a second listen before ranking the other 3 shows for the weekend. Eat a d. That is all.
-
uh.......yeaaahhhhhhh.
-
just wondering, how did New Begininning fit into the flow of the show? I have yet to hear this song live but think it is beautiful

This was one of the many highlights for me - if I hadn\'t seen the Blah Blah Collective this past Monday, I\'d be pretty confused by watching TPalms take his large metal pedal & transform it into a slide for his guitar. And Animal throwing a mic stand onto one of his drums/cymbals closed out the show. I might actually watch this DVD when I get it from Ken to relive this madness!
Sometime around 5, we looked for a sunset and around 1pm this afternoon I checked out.
:lol: I almost forgot about this craziness after the show. That sunset (at 5am) was aniiice. :thumbsup: Sorry to see that you went and ate a D sometime before the Margaritas and after the cards began. Hope you didn\'t choke on it. That is all.

very powerful opener. you know good things are to follow when they start off with puppetry. gbfbits segued nicely into a new beginning. each time i hear this song i like it even more. atsd > spunk was incredible. they kept building and building atsd and the place was going nuts. i peeked at the setlist during spunk and noticed the next song had a NO and then i couldnt make out the rest. i just kept hoping it would be no quarter instead of no glove or no regret. tim did a really good job playing the opening keyboard parts on his guitar. adrian, though having troubles with his mic stand, nailed the vocals. the jam was really nice in this song and the chase was a good way to close out the set. it almost sounded like they were going to head into taboo or not taboot.
they came on stage for the second set and many people still hadnt returned to the stage. they obviously didnt care because they played the best (imo) song of the weekend in the grand scheme of things. i have been listening to a ton of 2001 shows lately and this one reminded me of the earlier versions of this song where its played with pure energy on every note. the drum solo by adrian was out of this world and they decided to scrap Episode 3 since they wanted to keep things moving. superfly phaddy fat had a solid jam section and then shakedown kept everyone moving (at 3am none the less). they ended with a solid intension and called it a weekend.
got home to cuse just in time to see the sun come up. what a week!
-
good show, Puppetry easily the best of the show, they blew their loads right outta the gates. Good show all around. The 1st half of no quarter made me wish they still had a keyboard player, the second half made me glad they didn\'t. All in all good show good times, was glad Tim atleast gave Thumpasaurus a tease if nothing else.
-
I had a great time. Was good to see some old familiar faces. Saw a good number of people in Albany at the show that I have not seen in a long time.
late start for sure. HUGE headache when I woke up but was all worth it.
we listened to the recording a bit and I think it sounds pretty good.

YEAH i coulda sworn that adrians setlist actually had no glove no love written on it. a shock that no quarter came out of nowhere. also i thought it looked like tim maybe called that no quarter right on the spot.
great show. so glad i made the drive up to catch the end of what must have been a great 4 nights for those that did all 4. cant wait for thurs on the boat.
-
awesome time. im pissed i missed the madness they got into at the end with the smashing cymbals and tim kicking the guitar. too many sake bombs and tequila. after telling ron jokingly that i didnt want to see some lack luster performance after their partying and playing the past 3 nights i think the spunk/attraction spoke for itself. couldnt have asked for more

no quarter was def on the setlist from the get go.

I was calling this show as the "sleeper" of the run......And it sure was in my opinion. When you musically kick the fans that were on the first 3/4 of the run in the throat enough, it is pretty obvious that out of self preservation alone, you are going to lose a lot of fans by the 4th night......
I am in no position to start talking about best show/set of the run, but to me, it was great to see this albany show. The first set was prestine. The second set was cut short due to attendance and the fact that there was a second opener added to the bill at the last minute which caused a pretty big time issue.
However, this show did contain the highlight of the run for me. In the jam at the end of Intension, Tim started playing slide guitar with his pedal switcher. He then preceeded to lay the guitar on the ground and smack it with his hands, and then his feet. It was definitely the first time at a Breakfast show that I have seen Tim go completely nuts with guitar antics. It has been done at Good Time Boys shows, and definitely at the Blah Blah show last monday, but I have never seen him behave like that on stage at a Breakfast show......
Regardless, it was an amazing run with an amazing group of friends. I thank all of you for all the sacrafices you had to make in order to attend these shows, and cant wait till we can do it again.......From me breathing fire on Block Island, to the fastest two set breakfast show i can remember in narragansett, to the Albany Scheemer, I am still reeling........
-
I don\'t normally talk up my own recordings but I gave it a good listen last night and it definitely ranks in my top 10 breakfast recordings.
It is currently being uploaded to the LMA.

^^^^ NICE! i can\'t wait to hear what i missed because i\'m a big Cheepa!
-
Sweet! Can\'t wait

cant wait to hear that scheme again!

you must have been reading my mind..............my view was blocked by a speaker so i couldn\'t really see what tim was doing on the stage floor, so thanks for the play by play.
i thought it was nutz too, tim\'s broken string waving in the wind! then adrian tosses his mike stand and i\'m thinking oh my gawd, tim is gonna bust up his fender ala pete townsend! i\'m glad to hear there was no harm done
great show, great time, unbelievable band..............that amount of energy after a 3 night run is pretty impressive
thanks again steve-o for the media
watch out for those "no smoking" signs............in braille

I\'m streaming it right now and it sounds very nice.
I WOULD love to see tim beat up on his guitar again, that was pretty wild. Of course, then Adrian started using his mic stand to beat on his cymbals! These guys are on fire right now:guitar:
-
this is kinda late... but wtf
"Black Cat" tease in Superfly Phaddy Fat
"Jive Talkin\'" tease in Shakedown St.
-
the superfly in this show is one of my faveorites of all time

the superfly in this show is one of my faveorites of all time
I\'m surprised you remember anything of that night! You were caulked!!
-
just listening to this show now, does anybody else find TGSOT boring in this show? Maybe it\'s me and it\'s just too long of a version for me, but I think that might have brought down all the energy of the show as a set 2 opener. While I like the song on cd, I\'m not a huge fan of it live.
on another note, the attraction>spunk is killer
-
i thought TGSOT was the hightlight of the 4 night run. when tim gets the guitar loop going around the 24:16 mark ron and adrian start to fade out until its just the loop. at 24:45 tim starts playing over the loop and its pure bliss. this goes on until about 26:37 when adrian and ron jump in. i think everyone there was following each note tim was playing as you can clearly hear with the multiple loud cheers from those in attendance. the following build up brings all the energy back to the stage for the remainder of the set. i listen to this song, especially this portion, at least a couple times a day.
atsd > spunk def rips too. this was def my fav show of the 4 night run.
-
i just re-listened to the gsot. i did notice that i zoned out ni the middle somewhat, but by the breakdown booz is talking about, i was right back into it. i may have actually been doing work for a while, which could also explain why i zoned out some...
-
it def. did pick up alot at the end, but toward the end of the song I always expect it to end the show. I def. like it more (live that is) split up and end the show with the end of the song, or at least put a song between it (i.e. Sir psycho)
