there is a lot to be said about this show......first off New Hampshire + The Breakfast = a great scene. The Stone Church is a sweet venue dispite the rediculously slow bartenders.
First set highlights include Lit, Fire and Late/Over...... Ellis owned the lights on Lit.....The Fire was tight and heavy.....And the long awaited Late/Over was a powerhouse.....Not quite powerful enough to own the numero uno highlight for me....Honey Butter......But the sheer power and feeling to Late/Over made me think, "wow.....these kids really have something to say other than singing songs about hair and dead comedians and such....."
The second set was the money set with amazing jams in all the big tunes. The Great Big jam was epic but it was the Gravity Jam that stole the night as the band busted into some amazing music, shaking all of us throughout....
The big suprise was the amazing reception that Love Lake received.....It was an amazing version of the tune, it didnt just coast along...the band rode the shit out of it and it was amazingly executed. Not in my top 10 tunes, i may have to reconsider my rankings after this one...
Surreal Radio was good to hear again, but was overshadowed by the Late/Over...... The new tunes are great and usher in a feeling of real excitement thinking that they are going to be taking these on the road and actually playing them.....From what I heard after the show last night, there may even be some more bust out brand spakning new tunes coming on this run.....keep your fingers crossed.......
Hush.....I think Pec said it best last night that, "when you hear Hush, you know something is going or just went down"....
By the end of the show everyone was wiped, but nobody moved.....We needed one more.....What came was, in my opinion, the best Breakfast encore I have heard since I can remember.....Dimension 5 was placed and played in the perfectlyt.....I couldnt think of a better way to ship this band out on the road.....
Thanks to the New Hampshire kidz for making last night such a heady affair....
Thanks to the band and family for making this ride (the past 6 or so years) the stuff that only dreams are made of.....
I am sure looking forward to a few weeks of rest and relaxation before we bust into spring.....
Safe Travels...
See you on the other side....
Gencs
PS....missed both you guys last night.....was thinking about you often though....you know its a good night when the jedi is standing in front of the stage for the better part of the night with a big ole shit eating grin smacked firmly on his grill
