Absolutely amazing time. The Breakfast destroyed the festival to the delight of the cheering crowd. People were definitely into it and it reflected on the band who looked like they were having a blast! it certainly did not seem like it had been 10 months since their last public gig. How the hell do they do it?
Tunage got things rolling respectably but then GBFBITS > WUIAC sent us all to the stratosphere. The Zappa medley was fiery! When was the last Magic Fingers? 8-16-01 comes to mind but they probably played it after that. BB was funky good and the kids were ready for it, kicking up sand and reveling in the great music pouring out of the PA. Interesting to hear a stand alone Harry. Usually it segues into another song but it reminded me of the early GD Playing in the Bands where they played the head of the song, went out into deep space, and then reprised the song. Any way you slice it, it worked!!!
Things got a tad fuzzy for me during the second set. Rufus was killer and then the Acid Queen was a total shocker. The latest version I could find on the archive is 4-8-06 Seracuse. It was the subsequent move into Metropolis that unhinged my brain from its moorings. They sizzled through that and Synergy before throwing down the trump with Buquebus. WPOA was a great rowdy stomping encore that left us all smiling with happy feet.
Also really dug on Normal Instruments, Dopapod, Sparkplug and the Higher Organix. Good stuff!
I was out of it saturday night so I apologize to anyone I tried to conversate with. I was doing my best just to keep myself together!!!! But I know y'alls cool with that!
I wish I could make it to the Maine show. This can only get better from here.
Best band ever. Hands down. Love you guys and hope you did have as much fun as we had listening to you. Much love and thanks.
Thanks Bonzo for everything!!! Cheers!
P.S. The disc golf course right next to Newport High School called 'the Pinnacle,' is amazing! Had a blast there on saturday.
