Setlist: 2009-02-21 - Red Square; Albany, NY

[Spacey]

Absolutely SER! I dont have anything that can really give this show justice. Its very bittersweet being in my position but I will say that raging with my old school TRB crew was a great experience. As for taping shows, i hope theres never a taped show again because they are always the best ones and maybe some of you lazy fucks will start coming to shows. There was almost no Ct heads and thst was very dissappointing. The band isnt playing that much so you guys should really be making the effort to support em when they do play. The only way theyre gonna play more is if they make more money and the only way that happens is if people come to shows.

Shouldn\'t you be eating a d somewhere, broseph?

i don\'t remember that that show.....omg i probably don\'t remember half the shit we have done!

[inthewhitelodge]

I think that the real reason we all have that show-born immense energy is that we physically and spiritually can connect to the highs and lows of the eternal sound sphere, easily interpreted without mind altering substances. This band throws the expansion in your mind with no strings attached. Each segue like an orgasm into another rebirth! Spiritually speaking, shows like this are like going to the best kind of church.

Ya\'ll are right, the heart grows fonder when the taper is absent. Get to any and all shows possible. I had those "aha" moments all night just looking over at all of your smiling agreeing faces. Thanks not only to the band, but to all of you you made this a true family experience!

once again I wrote in my original post about the amazing tunage transition, it was so fucking sick.  as was the transition into vermont song.  i asked timmy how long before next set and he said make it quick, which we did and we still missed metropolis, i still feel shitty about it.  I was the asshole yelling mooboos for awhile, but luckily not the only one.  I also do have to say it may be my fav, def one of the best.

o yeah did anyone have the southern tier chocolate stout, that shit was serious.  We were  drinking them after the show, and by drinking i mean sipping, they were fucking strong.  Once on the road i bought like 4 twelve packs of southern tier to sell at a show and ended drinking them all by my lonesome.  One reason i love red sqare, delicious, delicious beer

It doesn\'t matter what you\'re on.  It would\'ve felt the same either way, you know that, brrr-ah.  There\'s times I\'ve been completely sober and the music has made me feel like I wasn\'t.  Music, for me, is the most intoxicating drug out there.  I honestly have no idea where I\'d be without it...

...and booztravlr, my name is Ren.

Memorable experience for sure.
Maybe 2 nights @ Red Square in the spring?  :bounce2:

on taping...
Not taping a show makes it more special for those who attend, on the other hand taping shows like this will bring more (new) fans to breakfast shows.
Double-edged sword:  more shows & bigger venues vs. underground tightness.
I think PB could play to larger crowds without losing their uniqueness.
Regardless I can\'t freakin\' wait for the next show!

^^
If by not taping making shows special in a "slowly fading memories" kinda way..

I\'m shaking my head... How does not taping a show make it more special for the people that were there?  Because it won\'t be shared with anyone else?  Hearing a recorded show after the fact pales in comparison to the live experience.  And yes, taping helps bring in new fans, but it also helps any fan who cannot make it to the show (for whatever reason) stay current on what the band is doing.  I am in no way knocking the tapers for TB for not recording this show; they know who they are and I hope they know that they are highly appreciated.

if you can\'t make it to a show in person you shouldn\'t be able to listen to it ever.

Sorry that\'s just the way i feel.

Even if you did go to the show, you should never be able to listen to it again.

Taping is sooooooooooo overrated.

Okay, so if that\'s your mantra, let\'s see.  I\'m guessing that you didn\'t see your first show until you were at least 10, so go home and throw out all taped, bootleg or official live release by any band that took place before 1992.  Then look through your collection and throw out any breakfast show that you\'ve downloaded or any dvd that you picked up at a show that you didn\'t go to.  Now do the same with any other band that you listen to and throw those shows away.  

Do realize how ridiculous your comment sounds.  By taking away the taping element, you not only cut off everyone other than the current TB community from hearing the band, you basically cut off the entire music community other than what you hear on the radio.
