incredible show. i definitely have a love/hate relationship with sully\'s, but there\'s certainly no better feeling than seeing the breakfast in a packed room, and knowing that you know about 90% of the people there. bfam was most definitely in full effect!
i had a feeling things were gonna get crazy last night during the soundcheck, which started with an \'Ants Marching\' jam, and then headed towards an acid-jazz version of Radiohead\'s \'Creep\'. adrian was playing silly good during the soundcheck, and afterwards said to me, "i\'m gonna have a good night tonight". exactly what i was thinking.
great setlist and execution. i was a little upset in taboo\'s first go-round, as tim was really holding back in the heavy section (the BEST part, imo). i was stoked that they left it and came back. i do love to hate GBFBITS, but another excellent version was played last night. tunage was insane - those are all the teases i recognized at the show, but i have to listen back to see if there were more. wouldn\'t surprise me if there were.
second set was damn near perfect. i *really* wanted OE right after TLATG, but what they did with rufus was great. wild pack?? pfffft! glad it\'s back, it was nuts.
and in the "
WHY??" moment of the night - buquebus encore. awesome. great version. you can\'t ask for anything more, you shouldn\'t ask for anything more, and you shouldn\'t get anything more. a perfect end to a perfect night, right? *sigh* i\'m sorry, but everything about Johnny B. Goode made me cringe. it was almost like the show was too good, and something shitty just HAD to happen... oh well.
bill - the inverted coma thing is a weird subject, as it is a song that has had a few makeovers through the years. the slow part with the chords was a later addition to the song. i suppose if you wanted to, you could take the "zone 1" version of the song and say that it\'s the official "published" version, and note your differences based on that one, but like i said, with the changes it\'s gone through, i just chalked it up to being one of the different versions.
as for the rufus inversion, i don\'t know what else to call it. rufus, i guess has 3 sections total, right? but regardless, like you said, it started "mid-song" (read: not at the beginning), went to the end, and back to the beginning, so.....:shrug:
fantastic to see everyone.
