o.k. ...i thought it wasn\'t letting me post but apparently i\'m just a dumb fuck.
I know it\'s a few weeks later, but I wanted to chime in on this show as i truly rank it near the top in 6+ years of seeing this band in all different forms.
I: Beef Barley, The Sound, First Tube jam > See The Light^ > Metropolis#, May Fly Dissaray%, And She Was > Spunk@
^inverted; with \'Star Spangled Banner\' tease.
# with \'Hard Luck Harry\' tease and full moon jam.
% with \'Rape Me\' (Nirvana) tease.
@ with \'Hey Jude\' (The Beatles) jam.
Beef Barley: Always happy to here this one. I think while this song was happening there was a really weird "where the fuck are we" kind of vibe from the band and the fans and a "what the fuck are these people doing here" vibe from the residents. All in all a great way to open the can of chaotic worms that would ensue through out the course of the night.
The Sound: New song to me. Not too familiar. Definitely a dark jam as Klout stated.
First Tube: In my opinion I wouldn\'t label this "First Tube \'Jam\'". I think the band was still feeling the "where are we" vibe a bit. Tim basically said, "So what do you wanna hear?". A few hollars. A few screams. Then my buddy Seth screams Reba because he had just run into a You Tube clip of Tim playing it acoustic. Chris busts into the First Tube bass line, and, although we thought he was joking and it wasn\'t going to last, did not stop. Adrian goes into the drum beat. Matt layers the background with some keys. Then Tim rocks a little Trey style delay loop. This is when the night took off in my opinion. people got really into it. Some of the locals even got up and danced. they basically did everything but the outro to the song which slowly melted into an all Breakfast style jam.
See The Light: I was refilling beer cups in a pitch black Port-O-John at this point. I honestly didn\'t know it was \'See The Light\' because it basically sounded like \'The national Anthem\' to me. Beautiful moent in the set.
Metropolis: This one\'s a little fuzzy....you understand.
May Fly Disarray: At this point the grittiness and stench of human sweat due to dancing was attracting a fairly large quantity of bugs. Tim says, "Boy, lots of flys around here." to which I responded, "Lots of may flys". "They know about the may fly." Then it got crazy. There are very few words that would do this version justice. Absolutely incredible. I think I was try to get Tim to tease \'Bark At The Moon\' at one point. Not sure if that ever happened actually. From memory I\'d say this version was about 30-40 minutes in length. Maybe more.
And She Was: First time seeing the band do this one. Real treat for me as I\'m a huge Talking Heads freak. Fantastic jamming and insane phyical and mental band interaction during this tune which carried over straight into Spunk.
Spunk: Don\'t remember to much on this one except that Tim was basically making everybody a part of this song. Letting people strum his guitar. play slide with Bic lighters. Fuck with the crazy effects on his floor board. Then, just like that, everybody stopped and let him do his thing at which point he stepped on his pedals, stopped the chaos, and the band went straight into the outro of "Hey Jude". Everybody was singing. Arms around each other. Dancing. Holding hands. blah blah blah......
Great time.
I\'ll never ever forget it.

Hope to meet some of you again in the future!
P.S. The guy who say in on keys was a guy named Dave Cohen from Bugg Juice out of Brooklyn. Pretty sure Dave ended up playing with Tim during his non stop rock block party in the vip tent as well.
That\'s it.
See ya!
