Setlist: 2008-04-04b - The Kinetic Playground; Chicago, IL

[Rickey Roux]

I\'ve got to go with Gordo\'s review on this show.  I will add that Reel Time, even though it was not jammed out, and World Needs Us, which was, to me, have been the two standouts among the new tunes (the only one I didn\'t see was Rush).  A great night of music.  Catching 4 shows in 8 days was utter bliss and will do it again if I have the dough.  Still a little burnt out from the 800+ mile round trip drive to Minneapolis for the Trocaderos show (will post on that show soon).  Gordo, Dave, Mike, Jeremy, Rob and Foo, glad you all made it out.  Good times indeed.  This band just continues to get better and better (how is this possible?).  

Signed,

The Lucky Bastard

   <<<< been saying that shit for years... absofuckinglutely incredible

Although I enjoy reel time and the world needs us I think they should have been spaced more. It was two slower songs back to back which did little to grab any non breakfast fans by the balls. I think they needed to come out with fingers flying.

agreed^

I can try to appreciate others\' opinions but when did you join the band, br0??

Dave and Mike-- class acts. helluvahat deflated his blow-up mattress/folded his blanket; Dave didn\'t leave any Spunk on my roommates bed before making it.

yeah, i wiped it up pretty good.

gordo/dannytriscuits, you guys rock. we had a blast. thanks a ton for the hospitality. we had quite the journey on the way back to the airport (blue line track construction), but we got there.

excellent show. many heavy hitters. buquebus and tribal were the standouts to me, with reba and rufus close behind. i don\'t think the wilson intro went over as well as anyone expected it to, but it was a cool idea.

random older black guy throwing dollar bills at chris during his bass solo = priceless.

regarding reba - the jam was incredible, but there were lyrical flubs, and the drum breakdown before the jam was flubbed. i think the guys should really brush up on the composed section, because they do such great things with the jam that it deserves to be played perfectly.

great to meet you rob, jeremy, and dannytriscuits, and great to see you gordo, rickey roux, and josh porter! we shall do this again.

[Todd]

great to see you josh porter!

:jawdrop: That\'s where that little shit\'s been hiding.

Wilson intro = weaksauce corny idea in my opinion. Playing Reba is one thing...

It almost sounds like they were about to go into attraction there for a second. ser shit.

Oh and that bass solo is fucking phenominal! No wonder Chris was getting money chucked at him!

Some thoughts from the TLG board. My post is the first one asking what up as they were silent the next day.
"I\'m guessing The Breakfast kicked some ass last night? Not a peep from the bunch."


"They were fucking awesome. Hadn\'t really listened to them before, and now gotta catch up. The guitarist is awesome, does some amazing shit on the guitar. Got a "Reba" which is always good.

Will absolutely see them everytime they come around."


"It was really good! The first set was mostly newer tunes, Reel Time and The World Needs Us started it off. The second set opened with Buquebus and all bets were off after that. As Erock mentioned, there was a Reba cover, I know Honey Butter closed. I knew most of the other tunes, but coming up with names right now is kind of futile. Kind of a blur of a night. I figured I needed to stop drinking when I went to the bar to get my "X"th Makers & Coke and the bartender told me that this one was on him. That\'s usually my sign to stop! lol Lots of fun, though. I did see one taper, but didn\'t get to talk to him, so I\'m not sure how/where/if the show will surface.

Crowd was a little sparse again, but much better then the last time through."



"The show is up on LMA. It was also cool to to talk to the bassist and drummer briefly"



"Wow, that was fast, huh?

I forgot about the Talking Heads cover. That was cool too!"
