so i figured last night wasn\'t gonna even come close to the night before, but it was pretty close, let\'s just say that i wouldn\'t wanna have to make the call if i had to.
couple of misleading sounds during the opening jam, wasn\'t thinking of the sound when it began, but once the jam took off i didn\'t care anymore. what the funk was great to hear especially with jordan back, you could see how excited they all clearly were to be playing, and it translated quite well into a really wild one. loved honey butter, seems like it\'s been a while since they played it, but then i seem to have absolutely no concept of time when it comes to them. doughboy was as good as it always is/was, however jordan had some technical problems that distracted him enough to think, as he told me, "oh shit, i have to sing, what are the words!?!" and then fuck them up. he said one of the pedals wasn\'t working, honestly i doubt anyone but him noticed. metropolis was no joke, even with an oddly placed (imo), greatly received and long awaited echidna\'s arf. i was so excited that when i screamed, "yeahhhhh," my voice cracked horribly and went up like 3 times higher than normal, hopefully only jen and i heard it. i figured they\'d break it out sooner or later, but still had my doubts, (chris, is there any song you don\'t know or can\'t learn in like 10 minutes?) then it was right back into one of the wildest jams i\'ve heard from metroplis to finish the set.
pretty slow starting long jam that had pretty clear shades of sleeping beauty throughout the begining before somehow finding it\'s way into mayfly. weird, kinda slow start that just turned into a dirty, funky, hard, rockin\' mayfly.
the puppetry that ensued was nothing short of pure magic. from begining to end it was complete and total insanity. the jam was their classic, trance-like, techno-ish, style that could just take you on a long wild trip with or without any, uh, outside help
. by the time it came back around and finished, even the band was looking at eachother like, "what the fuck was THAT?!?"
goddamn.
i don\'t think i\'ve ever heard such a long piano intro to tlatg, or for that matter any kind of piano intro at all to it. holy shit, did it ever make for a ridiculously drawn out, dramatic, climactic, or whatever you wanna call it, song. i swear, sometimes gencs actually looks like he\'s gonna collapse into a pile of sorrow, happiness, or just raw emotion onto the floor and just start twitching or something. christ, kid. unreal build up to overexposure that segued so fast that it almost sounded like it was edited if that makes sense, it was just like right at the peak, it was suddenly a new song, i don\'t even remember hearing adrian\'s little drum intro or whatever you call it.
overexposure was great, but it did seem to go on forever, unfortunately sometimes it seems that way, though it doesn\'t take away from anything. great finish to the show!
gladys was about as wild and crazy as any i\'ve ever seen or heard, they just laid it all out there for it, i loved how time tim just started screaming really fast at one of the peaks what sounded like, "gladyspimpandkangaroos" or "gladyspimpandkangarooswithme," over and over. shit they were having a such a blast that when it seemed it couldn\'t go any further they launched into spunk! spunk was just filthy, like it ever isn\'t, with a drum solo that as lexingtaint once said, "may have loosened my belt a little," then back to spunk to finish us off....
don\'t know what else to say...bye!
