Oblivious to the seemingly-obvious fact that Adrian was on board, I drove to the Chowder Pot expecting a quiet acoustic evening. Then I heard the notes of AC/DC Bag ring out as I walked from the lot and thought to myself, "is that that the Breakfast in there?" Of course, it wasn\'t but the playing tons of energy, was tight as shit, and had people, both Breakfast die-hards and Chowder regulars, gettin\' down.
Personal highlights: Bag, simply rocked; Plush, great vocals from Ian; Ya Mar, when the dance floor was most moving; Shakedown, the culmination of everything with a great jam.
Obviously, Tim tore it up on electric, Sean had a great mandolin solo, and the bass player, whose name I should know but which escapes me, came up from Atlanta and held it down all night, then got a chance to solo late and had a great one.
This was a unique Tim, Ian and Co., show at a place that I had no idea had a bar and a dance floor (I always assumed it was just a seafood place). For me, it had the feeling of an early Breakfast show and was a great night of music with a highly-involved crowd, which as I said, featured an even mix of the Timmy Tourers and people who had probably never seen him and or any of these guys play. Everybody went home a winner.
