this shit was about as good as it gets. i don\'t even know where to begin....
nice mellow opening jam that quickly became doughboy themed which made the segue flawless, and lead to a very strong, well played version. beef barley provided chris with the chance to blow us away with another great solo. i\'m still getting to know reel time, and when they started playing the world needs us i groaned, only cuz i think i\'ve seen every time but maybe 2 or 3 times it been played, i can\'t escape it. though once it gets going the jams do get pretty wild, so i guess i really don\'t mind it. rust was pretty good and i really liked it going back into beef barley. overall very good set.
now for the second.....
wow. i really don\'t know what to say that would do it any real justice. i mean i saw it written out and was like, whoa, but i really had no idea or way to possibly guess that it was gonna be
that good. i mean really. rush is just one of
those songs, when i first heard it i wanted to hear it again asap. anyone who doesn\'t love it doesn\'t really know what the breakfast is supposed to be all about in my opinion, instantly one of their top songs. well you needn\'t was truly great, by far the best jazz cover
i\'ve heard them play.
then it was time for the madness to begin...
i really wanted to hear chris play a hlh, and when i saw the setlist from the other night i was like, "aaaawwww come on of course they play it when i stay home!" so when it started i was quite pleased to say the least. i loved how it started off kinda quitely stopped off for a short cannonball tease, and built and built into see the light. i just don\'t under stand how every time they play stl, it has a totally different feel and way about it, the teases were a nice touch as well. yet another stellar version that featured some of the tightest, loosest, all around spectacular jamming this line up has played, which really left them with no choice but to take our breath away when they ripped back into hlh, and then right back into the end that was pretty close to acappella. i definitely got chills. i had a good laugh when the crash test dummies were teased, that song always makes me think of dumb and dumber. time of the season was no joke. i know some people don\'t agree with that choice for a cover but they really played the shit out of it, i have no problem with hearing that every now and then, especially during matt\'s solo.
synergy....
possibly the some of the best, craziest, most out of control, versitile, breakfast playing i\'ve ever seen. seriously.
the um, harnessing of the energy by matt and then the short conducting, leading to many multiple switch ups had just about everyone\'s heads spinning, a ton of huge grins, and lots of heads shaking in disbelief at times. i like when matt was like, "look what you guys did....we didn\'t wanna do this, look what you did." the dude is a fuckin\' nut, and i love it. switching back and finishing up was a great breakfast moment, i just hope the energy can come across that well in the recording, though i don\'t see why it wouldn\'t.
silly intro to where\'s sly, kinda disappointed they didn\'t play against all odds though, one the greatest songs ever written if ya ask me,
. where\'s sly was reeeeaaallly good, never thought i\'d see them play an mmw cover to tell you the truth. not all that thrilled to hear the sound follow it, but that\'s ok, maybe nothing should have. whatever.
overall, a truly unforgetable night of great music. chris really impressed the hell out of me, and i don\'t think i\'ve seen matt play drums, it\'s a shame someone turned the bass off for matt. good time!!!!!
