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........
