What a night! I have never seen anything like it. It will take a while to decipher the spontaneous combustion that occurred on stage last night. Best version of Whipping Post ever played by anyone. Best version of The Chicken ever played period.  Who would have thought Ansonia would be the home of some of the best music on the planet!!!! Wow!



I should have borrowed a car and headed down last night.

I was thinking get caught up on sleep for B.I., though I got a shitty rest due to uncomfortable pillows, humidity and dust irritating my eyes and nose.

ya the future composition was wild.... it was hilarious how the bassist was playing so wild but showing so little emotion through his body language.... at one point in the original composition (or whatever they called it) matt wasn\'t even playing the keys anymore but sliding along the wall like he was stuck to it and then bear hugging the bass player while the guy is thumpin away with tim and adrian.....

thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes (especially matt for dedicating the original composition to me and korey (kartoon420)) and drinks

this was one of the most amazing nights of music i have ever experienced, and what a way to kick off an amazing weekend...

What was to follow though is what really blew me out of the water last night.  I am not sure what to call the song that they played.  Matt introduced it as, "an original composition that was written 15 minutes from now".  As they got into it Matt mutters, "I am going to speak the future".  Tim hears this and his head drops and all focus is now on his instrument.   Matt starts talking, narrating if you will, about "all these people in the room" and how everyone is "breathing in", "inhaling", "exhaling", and then the people started realizing that they were all breathing the same air.  Then the people started to dance and move to the music.  By that time in the song, Tim was on his knees with his guitar and working the boomerang and other pedals.  As the jam progressed, Tim stood up, turned his guitar upside down with the headstock on the floor and the body up towards his and was stroking some amazing sounds out of it.  He then proceeded to pick up the guitar and beat sounds out of it with his guitar strap and then Adrians mallet.  All the while, Adrian is banging rythems out of anything and everything including the thin air.  And of course Mike was adding the spice on bass, while Matt just hemmoraged his expressions through the keys and mic.


I\'m so glad I got the chance to experience this "song" (for lack of a better word) last night!  You did a great job describing it, Steve, but it was truly one of those -you had to be there- moments.  Watching TPalms use one of Adrian\'s cotton-covered drumsticks on his guitar was pure insanity... but it sounded so incredible!  Matt is hilarious & goofier than Tim~ which is a hard task to win - together, the musicians last night created some of the best tunes/skits I\'ve seen!  I\'ll be going back to the valley every Monday night from now on :thumbsup::thumbsup:

wow from the description of last night it seems like this might be the "IT" week to be catching Breakfast shows.

Tim and Adrian were awesome on Saturday and it seems they are only getting crazier as the week moves along.

I couldn\'t have said it better, Robyn!  I\'m SO glad we decided to go last night, it was amazing!  I don\'t know what took me so long to actually go see these guys, I think the fact that it was on a Monday kept holding me back, but after last night, I don\'t care, it was so worth it even if I was useless at work today from lack of sleep! :D  I cannot believe I have to miss Block Island, but at least I have the weekend shows to look forward to! :disco:

So, I may have said this before, if I did then, sooorry, but I don\'t care how lame I sound when I describe this show. It was not what I expected....I\'m mean I knew it would be good but jesus christ!  I found myself just clapping in the middle of shit for no apparent reason and just laughing over and over.  I was reminded of ALL the sickest, wildest, most frenzied, abstract shit that I\'ve ever heard or seen anywhere ever.  The great thing about tremendous musicians is the way they can instantly play off of each other like they\'ve been doing it since birth.  Last night was one of those nights, too bad more people weren\'t there to see and feel it.  They took me to places I haven\'t been in years.  There was this one jam in the 1st set that sounded a little like Gumbo, I forget what it was called but that fuckin\' silly super speedy shit that came after it was nothing short of amazing.  I was just laughing and smiling when normally I\'m too much of an overly analytical dope to smile and not look as if I\'m studying the band and taking mental notes to just cut loose and relax.  Shit was absolutely insane.  That Sammy dude jumped up there and absolutely tore the roof off the goddamn place, I don\'t think there was a person there who wasn\'t blown away by Whipping Post, if the Allmans even with the line up they have now, had the balls that these guys showed during that shit I\'d see \'em a lot more, it sounded as if it was totally rehearsed when it just built and built and then.....stopped.....and came back, and who the hell knew Matt could sing?!   Maybe if he hadn\'t humped his keyboard it wouldn\'t have fallen on him, even though I swear that he wanted it too.  I don\'t even know what too say about the song that was "written fifteen minutes from now," and the jam that came out of it right around the time Tim was hitting the strings with the mallet was fuckin\' spectacular, and when his perfectly timed and placed solo began, I felt like I was floating a few inches off the ground.  I\'ve maybe only seen Adrian play with that non stop intensity a few time if ever at all.  Tim was at his best, no question.  I like Matt more and more every time I see him and that bass player, well I don\'t know how he sat there playing like he did and not even really move or change the expression on his face, it reminded me of Derek Trucks a lot.  Wish I could see it again and again and again....by the way, I was humped on the leg by Todd too.
