Definitely a 4.8 out of 5 level show. The opening jam had me thinking of or maybe just really wanting a CMSS, but I knew that I was wrong. Then came the second jam, once again same thing. I think I just really wanna see the damn song. There was some pretty powerful playing during Taboot and the Coma though, which made it ok. Coma is definitely one of my top 5 favorites, they can play it fast, start or end slow and "epic," it doesn\'t make a difference to me. I wish I was wrong when I heard the little noodly tuning sounding notes and thought, "oh no GBFB," but that song always seems to tear it toward the end when it\'s about to turn into something else, so really crazy, creative, nasty shit seems to occur, so I guess it\'s really not all that bad.
I totally forgot the never finished Taboot when they started to go back into it, which by the way was completely seemless. Tunage was really good didn\'t really wanna see it, still not the best I\'ve seen but it doesn\'t matter, once it gets going it shut up my internal whining. Great teases too.
I heard some dude say, "I just heard they were opening with Hard Luck," and thought that I really didn\'t wanna hear that at the moment either, wonder what my problem is, anyway it hit really hard and was defininitly loose and jammy allowing for some great teases as well. Though I\'m not a fan, I have to say that they was Inner Glimpse came out of HL was nothing short of amazing, ya could kinda hear it coming but by the time it registered it was already happening. Kinda left me with no choice but to give it a chance and it did it for me for once.
The Late and the Great always makes me happy, thought this one didn\'t get all techno like at the Iron Horse, it was soooo strong right up until....Rufus?!?!....huh?....what? Inverted? Ooook. Though Rufus was absolutely filthy, it still some what annoyed my stubborn ass when it broke up the two songs. That\'s my own problem. It was really great and played perfectly right back to the begining and back into Over Exposure.
Over Exposure is always incredible and definitly one of my favorites. The places it goes and the levels it reaches are absolutley beautiful. If they don\'t play it at and take advantage of the what I\'ve been told wonderful sounding, somewhat sizable (200 seats) Fairfield Theatre, then they are silly, but I guess that would be another thread...
Wrapping things up nicely with Wild Pack was a great choice considering the room was literally packed, what a challenge it was to get up the god damn stairs, don\'t know what the hell was going on with the moshing crap, but it sure pissed off the little fella who couldn\'t decide if he was hot or cold so he\'d keep putting on and taking off his pull-over with his cigarette in his mouth. It was funny. He pushed Chris Fitz so hard and bounced right off him, like a mosquito trying to bit a rhino or something, Jen laughed, it was silly.
Spacey asked for them to play something good, then something long, then something long and good. Well, I think he got what he asked for. I didn\'t even think it was a possibility. Christ it was good, I had no choice but to as that little fuckin dope kept yelling, "shake what my mama gave me." Gawd, I hope ya can\'t hear it in the recording. What a fantastic Buquebus. Really. Feels good to just let it all out every now and then.
Now for the not at all needed second encore song...what the fuck? Ron came right over to Dave and said, "...he just launched right into it...he didn\'t even know the words!" Yikes. "Go Timmy, go, go, go!" What? If they never play that one again I wont be sad. Dave summed it up well by saying, "Well that\'s cover number 473 that I can do with out."
Can\'t win \'em all I guess. Whateva. I guess uh, everything that preceeded it made it ok or something.
I was a little tired and somewhat, but not really, concerned about being tired after the show earlier but after what we saw and how hard they played, it was not needed.
Good times. Still don\'t understand the need for the Link reference, and Dave my friend, you have problems I must say, but luckily it\'s funny or else you\'d just me that weird guy. I\'m just kidding.
See ya!
