Too tired to write a full review right now but all I will say is this: "Jam >" is such a good opener, it should be in the Tournament of Tunes next year. It would make a nice little 9 seed that I would probably vote for. Jam > WUIAC, in particular, is quite possibly my alltime favorite opener.
-
Jam > WUIAC is my favorite opener as well.
-
wow, whatta show.
-
These guys....
Off to the aiiiiiirrrrrrpoooooorrrrrt..........!!!!!!
-
highlights were psygn jam (very different/good buildup), solid tunage, different from usual jam on late and the great, OVER EXPOSURE (best of the night).
overall the show wasnt incredible, but wasnt bad either...7/10

I had a great time last night!
considering the track list i thought it was a very well played show.
I was also really bombed so my ears may deceived me to some extent but everyone was getting down hard the whole night and there were definitely more than one very high point.
good warm up for tonight.
lovely seeing everyone.
off to VT :)
-
boooo
pissed they didnt do deuce
that means you all get buquebus, tribal, phaddy, stl, and mooboos tonight.
as well as lawn boy.
hope gordon doesnt fuck up the bass solo
-
Well, there we go again...only my second show and I was ROCKED yet again. As a somewhat "old timer", I am always impressed by the sounds I hear that take me back to the bands of my rock n roll youth, and at the same time spring me forward into the unknown of current and future soundscapes. As always keep up the good work. Peace. Be well.
-
That was wicked fun. I actually got down to Tricky Ways. jam> opener was heady.
There were several highlights of the show, not the usual suspects either. Intension was shredded, over the head nonetheless. OE = tite . Good things was classy.
I was glad to see a pretty decent crowd there, and everyone there was gettin into the dance party.
BURLINGTON!!!!
-
just wait till you all hear the Late and the Great jam, like nothing i\'ve ever heard before. Every tune last night was played well. It\'s downloading right now (thanks dave!). Pretty cool toad\'s was album > 2 originals > encore, and last night was 2 originals > album > encore. Who knows what\'ll go down tonight!!!! :)
-
everyone always hates on tricky ways, but that shit was fun as hell last night. very satisfied, got to hear overexposure which i was hoping for. good to see a nice crowd there last night
-
No question, a high quality show.
The jam to start was excellent. Felt near 15 minutes, had everyone locked in from the start, and created energy that never waned. This was my first live Tunage and I was definitely impressed. Future Peek was nicely done and got a solid crowd response. Honey Butter crushed the previous night\'s version. Don\'t love Tricky Ways, but the crowd ate it up. Was totally into Intension. Hadn\'t heard it in a while and it tore. The Late and the Great jam was excellent and had a slightly different feel than most versions. To me, it seemed as though the whole jam was predicated on Tim playing the riff that Trey does when typically starting the Split Open and Melt jam, though that could over-analysis on my part. What can be said about Over Exposure at this point? It\'s one of the bands best songs and every version is outstanding. Last night\'s didn\'t seem excessively long, but then again, based on what transpired in it, it didn\'t need to be; it was basically perfect as it was. Can\'t remember the last time I heard LDZ, but it was a great way to wrap a tight show with a loose crowd.
Hope everyone has a ball tonight, which seems like a safe bet.

go to some more shows first ;)
in my opinion it was a good show... but i prefer the older songs of the breakfast...been hearing all these songs too much lately...or maybe i should just grab some different shows for my playlists...tee hee :)
oh yeah...i think i realized last night why people don\'t care for tricky ways. it totally sounds so much better with the keys...that song needs keys to have a full effect for a bluesy-jam. it rocked last night!!!
-
Great time, great show...
-
any costumes last night?
-
Not many costumes, I think everyone\'s saving them for tonight... I think Tim was "Apollo, the Greek God of MUSIC" :D
-
I actually got down to Tricky Ways.
haha i thought the same thing that night! it was actually pretty cool. breakfast songs are so jumpy sometimes that it\'s hard to get down completely if you don\'t know all the songs, so a tune like tricky ways stuck right in there really helps get the dancin started for those who aren\'t as familiar with the songs...
i really enjoyed the b\'fam dance party next to the stage -- everyone was there to rage, and it was a great vibe over in the corner.
...oh, and the end of late&the great was EPIC!!!!!!!!! LOVED IT!
-
I had a lot of fun at this show. Was def a nice warmup for Burlington. Def love the Coma openers.
On a side note, since the band knew they would be playing Moxie Epoxy at this show why would they play Honey Butter at Toad\'s? Then for a third time in Burlington? Lame! This song isn\'t good enough to play 3 nights in a row. It\'s not an epic song everyone needs to hear, it\'s virtually the same 12-15 minutes each time it\'s played.

Swwweeet show! Hadn\'t heard Future Peek in so long, loved it. During Psygn Jam, with the flashing white lights, I started to feel that we were casting out demons, and I started gettin some shaman-ish jerks and my eyes rolled back and it was freaky but i think we got them! Lots of fun, great crowd, had to leave early to drive, took off shortly after Intension with Ron rockin so hard his Abe Lincoln beard came off, and a little guitar playing behind the head by Tim.

ulee were you in vt?
-
:( no :( :( but I had peaches (Harry Potter) as my vicarious breakfast experiencer, texting me all the highlights!

What the hell was that dance freddy made me do it was like the breaking up **** for a joint on the stage dance hahahaha
-
save side corner at the iron horse IS ALWAYS where its at!
-
There is def a tease from Matt roughly 1:28 into the jam segment before LDZ. Sounds like an MMW song. Can\'t seem to put my finger on it though.
-
* with \'So What\'cha Want\' (Beastie Boys) teases.
**\'Spider-Pig\' teases.[/FONT][/I]
Spider Pig = best. song. ever.

right on! i knew it sounded like an older mmw song.

anyone have any pictures from this show?

So another new venue for me. The Iron Horse is a little hole-in-the wall in Northampton MA.
Not a bad place at all and actually perfectly conducive to a Breakfast show. The room itself has tables on the left as you come in with a bar in the back and a sunken rectangular dance floor funneling the crowd towards the band on stage.
This was a noticeable aspect as from the get go the band and crowd were "locked in".
The opening salvo of Jam>WUIAC>Jam>Tunage instituted a damn riot in my dancing bones! The opening jam had Matt playing all sorts of wacky synth notes with Tim playing over and under them boomerang style. Ron\'s bass line was silky smooth with Adrian leading the pack with the beat. It lasted a few minutes like this until Tim pushes a little and the band is BAM! OK let\'s go! It then ascends to rock goodness in seconds with peaks and peaks leading to another slower but driving beat than back up to hard driving Rock and Roll! I mean they explode into madness! Tim just wailing away and Matt banging out notes Ron just keeping it down and Adrian pushing and pushing the rhythm and then a DROP seamlessly into WUIAC! ARE U SER!(one of many that night!)
WUIAC was freakin\' incredible as it always is. The band did not stop and went into another jam that was very Tunage heavy and I got excited as I finally got to hear this wonderful song live as they went into it. I really have not been a big fan of this song mostly due to not hearing many and not seeing one until now. Wow this song is fantastic. It\'s about getting down to music and that I did. The aggressiveness of this song is pure Breakfast in the jams and forces the crowd into utter abandonment of inhibition. The breakdown part is silky sweetness and lets ya rest up a bit while still getting down. Matt\'s playing in this part is joyous to hear. The melodies he lays down for the band to play over are simply beautiful. Then he starts to rock out as the jam gets deeper and deeper and I swear the jam that follows should be called Fire on the Mountain JAM! It breaks and back into Tunage proper.This song got me as I had flown out from the other coast("People party coast to coast").
Then MOXIE EPOXY. I was stoked to hear this as I really like a bunch of the songs on the album but rarely listen to it for various reasons.
Psygn was so nice to hear with Matt on Keys. It added so much to the layering this song benefits most from. The vocal jamming leading into the first jam is perfect and it just steadily built from little tweaks and quirky note jams to coalesce into an ascending melody lifting me higher and higher. This jam had Tim wailing away as the band swirled musically around his playing into minor chord madness and back into majors and happiness! Not the longest or most involved version but so tight it was ridiculous.
Future Peek another song that has benefited from Matt\'s addition to the band. The opening harmonies were a bit off but whatever. The opening of this song needed keys so bad and to have them now just makes this song so solid. This song is all about the jam as the centerpiece of it and it has developed into something special. The heights to which it builds only to drop so seamlessly into a loping gallop are astonishing. The playing between Matt and Tim at this point is nothing short of spectacular. It is a driving lead by Tim with Matt pushing and pushing and then Ron drops in and one realizes Adrian has been the one driving this whole insane jam until it blows in such a cathartic manner one can only scream in joy. The end verse repeating "Learning the hard way" let\'s you ride that out!
Having heard a rather twisted version of Honey Butter the night before I was ready for a straightforward reading of this song. As I usually skip this song on the CD and some shows until the jam. Tonight the band had my attention so much I danced right through anything I do not like about this song. Tonight the jam was spiraling, twisted and very psychedelic with Matt leading the band back to the songs conclusion.
Good Things was up next and was as usual beautiful and tear jerking. It changes very little show to show but it\'s a song that really does not need to. The jump right into Surreal Radio turned the crowd around in seconds from contemplative fidgeting and swaying to full on rocking out! Surreal Radio is just a pure rocking vehicle for the band to just lay it down. Right into Tricky Ways(the regular version) and my dislike for this song was abated for the first few measures as the band was that on fire! I do not have a full review of this song as I listened to it outside though I do remember some people dancing pretty good to it so I think they played it as well as a song like that can be played(plain blues number).
Intension was a monster that would not let up as it is supposed to be. I almost lost my voice during this song as I basically lost it screaming the lyrics along with Esther and various folk! The breakdown in this song benefits so much from the addition of Matt it is silly. They really showcase their listening skills within this jam as each member takes the main theme and twists it around for a bit until all 4 of them wail it out in unison into a driving beat back into the song which just drives harder and harder to the end. Simply amazing!
Adrian\'s Drum Solo was nice to view from that close and he gave quite a performance. Then for the absolute highlight of this show for me, The Late and The Great. This version was simply the best version I have ever heard. It had everything I desire in the song and The Breakfast. The singing was on point, the playing stellar and they added a depth to the end jam that had the entire place hitting the ceiling! The version of Overexposure may have suffered a bit from the prior songs ownage if played by any other band than The Breakfast. Overexposure was a delight to hear with it\'s variety of rhythms, the insane free for all jam in the middle after the incredible jamming from Ron leading into it and the weirdness following that back into the driving beat that made the entire crowd move as one with Tim playing these warbling notes that were just crazy to hear. Then the jam again ascends to weird spacey playing with Adrian drumming so fast it\'s truly mind blowing as they explode into a full on dance beat that just would not let go! WOW!
The encore had me thinking Superfly as they began it with a vocal/beatbox jam. Tim\'s Spider-Pig references were very funny to hear. Then hearing/seeing a longtime Breakfast fan like Freddiewah screaming for LDZ and then being so pumped when they busted into it was classic.
LDZ kicked ass to end the night in rocking fashion!
This is why I fly out to see this band.
Too bad for this show the band covered a Phish album the next night.
The playing and energy is way above par.
This show is perfect Breakfast.

Just got through Intension.. this show is hot. This makes Earth Science homework much more enjoyable. cigarette break (Ad\'s solo) > TL&TG that I\'ve been hearing so much about.
Nice review leith. :banhair: <
-
I completely missed Spider Pig somehow.
Iron Horse never lets down when it comes to cooking up Breakfast.
Definitely the right direction the show needed to go after Thursday night.

this tunage owns so much face. just listen to it.

This is the one that is really getting me into the song. Prior, despite all the buzz on .info, I just didn\'t pay as much attention to it.

New signature to express my love.

Fixed that for ya.

matt really rips it in up in the tunage. First part of the jam is Probably the best leading a groove I have have heard him play...by the time timmy picks it up it is already on fire, definite gin tease and a i think a few others in there by matt as well
-
i love this tunage...but i also love the one from red square>beef barley
-
the ending on the red square one is much more ser
-
holy shit to the peak in the Over Exposure jam! just listened to it for the first time right now and almost died here at work. must have been uber-intense live.

Overexposure was sick.
A couple of my friends had to leave (And by "had to" I mean the sand in their vaginas was starting to chafe) before The Late in the Great... I was like, you FOOLS!! Don\'t you know what\'s coming?!?
oh well
