The Vermont song (Adrian on guitar)

Encore with Adrian on guitar and Tim on Drums. Single camera, no audio sync. It\'s shakey and distorted at times but still pretty fun. Take it for what it is.

That\'s Adrians fiance at the end of the song. Video by Paul Ryan

sick looking setlist....tapers??? please

[jking]

looks like everyone was having a blast!

[bezerker]

last night was the fuckin tittie McGittiiiiiiies.    50 short of a sell out.  what a show boys and girls

[bdfreetuna]

huh, well I thought this was the weakest Breakfast show I\'ve seen in the last several months. I mean, still a good show compared to most other bands (we know this).... I dunno, like I normally would go crazy for a Sundance but it was like the band was holding a lot back that I know they\'ve got. Generally wasn\'t diggin the guitar/synth/keyboard-at-the-same-time stuff , the best parts were when Tim fahgottabout all those keys for a while and stuck to guitar.

I reckon I\'m spoiled on far better (Breakfast) shows that I didn\'t have to drive 6 hours for.

One other point--- I will go up there again for a Club Metronome or Nectars show but I\'m all set with any future Higher Ground shows. Their policy that doesn\'t let you even go back out to your car in the parking lot once you buy a ticket is straight fascist. It is a major deterrent for me to not be able to get my blaze on whenever I feel like it. Also I don\'t see why this venue is supposed to be better than Metronome. The atmosphere is "concrete/asbestos" and the drinks are taxed with hardly any booze in them. It didn\'t seem like it holds any more people than Metronome either (maybe it does, I can\'t see how though)

I had a good time though, was nice to see good faces...

and whoever the opening band was kicked ass, I think I actually enjoyed them over Breakfast last night

[bezerker]

are you out of your fucking mind ??

^Seriously?? i mean they were alright for a breakfast opener, but definately nothing special:tired::zzz:. You must not have really been paying attention to the breakfast or something cause they ripped shit up last night. i was standing right in front of Adrian during Over Exposure and i was completely owned. pretty damn good first set sundance psyn rufus>taboo. the L&tG>Over was once again my highlight. i agree that they are kinda dicks at HG (but no worse than the webster), but i also think playing there is a huge step in the right direction and a step up from nectars/metronome. BTW thanks Tuna for the headie ride up there and thanks to Paul and Fitz for the ride home. much love to bfam for hookin\' this gypsie up.

[FieryBill]

thanks for that vermont song clip.... damn, that was quick!

I thought the show was great... and yes, Twiddle was definitely outstanding. I went to their webpage today and listened to some stuff. They played that Gatsby song yesterday and it was out of control! Highlight for me was prob. the Rufus and Love Lake. They were very energetic (as always) and the crowd really enjoyed themselves.

[bdfreetuna]

Well I\'m outta my mind if I think a show was the best I\'ve ever seen and I\'m outta my mind if I think a show wasn\'t even close to the best I\'ve ever seen......

moral of the story is y\'all should know by now I\'m pretty much outta my fucking mind

for the record my boy Loren who I drove up with said the Northampton show last weekend blew this one out of the water. Maybe I\'m not the only one gone totally loco

....

I\'m not saying the opening band was *better* than Breakfast, Obviously not. But I think I enjoyed their set more because it was totally new and original and they had some unique energy, esp the bass player that dude was nuts. Breakfast layed down a couple good sets but having been to a fair amount of shows including a lot of super-serious throwdowns I really didn\'t feel like I got anything new or unique out of this burlington show.

[Gfunk]

i agree that NoHo was better but not WAY better. this show was ser.

The Vermont song (Adrian on guitar)

It\'s tough hearing VT Song without Jordan\'s jam in the middle.  Check out 2004\'s Baja Bash version for a sampling.

The bass is the only instrument I\'ve never seen Tim play on stage.

good stuff, ive never seen a tim/adrian encore change-up before.

[rcoster38]

i thought last night was a little rough, but still a good show no less

late and the great>over exposure was the jam of the night i thought, they really laid into that one and everyone was movin

im not sure i dig tim messin around with the keys all the time though.  it seems to always turn into the same wall of noise without really ever going anywhere

[FieryBill]

when tim was banging the keys with his guitar my jaw was on the friggen floor.... that was sick!
