Though its only been about 9 weeks since Matt joined the band, it feels like, to me, that the new Breakfast quartet has been together for a long time. I know they are still only playing songs in "crops", and there are a lot of classic tunes that have yet to get the Oestreicher makeover, but he has virtually seamlessly integrated himself into this musically tighter than a drum group that has been playing together since they were just punk kids from staven. Its been truly amazing to see what has transpired in just over 2 months.
However, yesterday I busted out the DVD from my favorite BFast Trio show ever, and definitely in my top 5 of my all time Breakfast show list. It was even better than I remembered it, though it actually made me realize that however sick they are with Matt on stage, that there was a communication, respect, and an unconscious unity for the sound they were creating, that they just cant yet achieve with Matt. I am confident that in time Matt will officially settle and cure with Tim, Ron, and Adrian and start producing some of the most prolific music of our generation.
So, for the past day I have been thinking back to the days of the trio as well as the current
era we have just disembarked on. I wanted to start this thread to hear what some of your favorite BFast Trio shows and/or moments are............
Oh and the show I was referring to, above, was the Rocks Off Boat Cruise. This show is a gem as it is the unofficial spark that ignited the flame which took us to Camp Bisco this year.......
