GREAT SET!!!! i can\'t wait for more. i was right up front and heard nothing as far as bad sound except when i walked over to the left of the stage and a weird cracking was coming from the left speaker but i think Chandwick figured it out after a couple minutes. I mean the speakers were sitting in the HOT sun all weekend and i think they were definitely feeling the heat. i was expecting another speak disaster like UAC3

Unless Matt robotizes Tricky Ways by adding multiple arpeggiated Oscillators, I doubt it will ever sound interesting.

I was only there from the beginning thru the start of intension before I bailed.

I really thought Matts playing added some maturity to the sound As well as a touch of class. Not that the bfast never had class but he added a classical feel to some of his playing and I really liked his stage presence. He certainly gives you something to watch and he brings a stage energy that the bfast never really seemed to have.

I watched from behind the stage because i\'m about as white as can be and the sun was seriously kicking my ass. But it gave me a great view of Adrian and Matt. Regardless of the set it is always a huge pleasure to walk in to a show and immediately be greeted by the bfast family. We may all have our differences of opinions and we may have differing aspirations but I felt immediately at home and it was a much needed pick me up to a long week in Bridgeport.

This show kicked ass beginning to end, Matt has immediately brought this band to another level, and given the level they were at, that is sayin\' something.

A wise man once told me that your state of mind at a show is often more important than the state of the music. It\'s hard to be brought to your feet by anything at all after a few days of brain-fry.

Over the years I have realized how little attention people pay to sound quality (in general) and their position in the crowd which drastically changes their \'filter\' for the music. There are times I\'m content staying in one spot, but most often I\'m relentless in finding that glorious window where your ears feel hooked up with every member in the band. It\'s like listening to a shitty recording of Over Exposure in a Chevy Tracker when BAM! you\'re suddenly in the middle of a Bose showroom with Moxie Epoxy\'s version pumping from every felt covered box of magic. That moment when all is heard is like Campbell\'s Soup for an 8-year old on a frozen February evening.

I\'m licking my chops for their Chicago arrival.

i\'d like to nominate for post of the year

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

I read the BOSE comment and figured I would let it slide

And Dave, do you think we will ever run in to each other at a show again ? I have been wanting to buy you a beer and apologize in person ever since. Seems like eons since we were at the same show

That photo is SICK!!! Well done Derick.  Good to see you...I think we all had a bit of heat stroke at that point or we would have stuck around for a sec.

[Overexjoesure]

John Medeski is the poor man\'s Matt Oestreicher.  CONFIRMED!!

[Nermel9]

I think we all had a bit of heat stroke

Yeah...I definitely did!  If Brandon didn\'t suggest we go to the back of the stage where there was shade I probably would have had to go home, I was pretty close to passing out... :shrug:  Anyway, I like Matt already, he fits in with the band really well, I have no problem with anything they did at the Vibes, it was great for just an hour long set!  Can\'t wait for Toad\'s Place!

[Spacey]

The sun was a doozie. Wish I could see the photo, I\'ll have to wait till home.

:banapple:

I think the verdict might still be out on that one...

it\'s all good, mike, but it has been a damn while, hasn\'t it? hopefully with more shows popping up on the schedule, it will happen sooner rather than later..

there was just no way i was making it out of the house on sunday..

I saw Joe Mango who was working that stage with connor (sp) and he said there was no place to setup except in the sand. I was like I don\'t think I want to do that. He said that we should be able to get his 2 track board recording tho. I will see whats up with that in a few days or so
