The setlist we wrote was changed right before the set. This is the setlist I kept from the show last night.
1: Jam > Rust > Phaddy Boom Batty > See The Light(1), Eat That Question(2), I\'m The Slime(3,4), Love Lake, Jam > May Fly Disarray, Superfly Phatty Phat(5,6) > Phaddy Boom Batty
1 - Inverted
2 - Eric Slick: Drums; Tim: Keys; Adrian: Guiatar
3 - Eric Slick: Drums; Tim: Guitar; Adrian: Keys
4 - w/ Montana Jam
5 - Vocoder and Beatbox intro w/ Adrian "Chadwick Mating Call" nonsense
6 - Tim sings "Burning Down The House" a couple of times towards the end of the song. Almost immideately after (because it didnt make any sense to me), the smell of burning plastic from a plastic bottle on Elli\'s fog machine is melting. Issue easily avoided......
Ahhhhhhhhhh....Back in the high life again. After missing my first two Breakfast shows in over a year, it felt really good to be back in the mix. From the first note there was a Zappa-esqueness to the Rust and jam in rust. It was quite ser. See the light was tight and jamming and got the place dancing hard.
The Eric Slick sit in was by far and away the highlight of the night (and quite possibly my Breakfast highlight of 2007 thus far). The kid (only 19, maybe 20 years old) is an amazingly powerfull drummer with taste and skill beyond his years. Tim Palmieri, who is "not a keyboardist" (direct quote from his mouth), fooled the shit outta me and others with an amazing keyboard intro to Eat That Question. Adrian owned faces ripping the hell with such animation on the guitar solos. Ron Spears had a shit-eating grin on his face the entire 2 song sit in and was bouncing and dancing throughout.
The I\'m the Slime was about the complete opposite from every other Breakfast version of the song. It was slow and dripping with funk and chops. Adrian was killing on the keys, pulling some ser organ riffs off of Tim\'s Juno as well as a couple of great "back and fourths" with Tim. The boys then led by only a small hint of a note from Tim executed a smooth Montana jam at the end of the Slime jam.
Love Lake was nowhere near the inital setlist, but was a last minute add thanks to Adrian. It was a rocker indeed. It was followed by a sick jam which had May Fly all over it but was slow and funky as fuck.
The Superfly Phaddy Fat intro vocoder and beatbox was a bit longer than usual in my opinion and pretty amazing with Tim and Adrian riffing back and fourth.
Just when I thought the show was over they brought it back to finish Phaddy Boom whipping the crowd into a frenzy and closing a great night of music in the city of brotherly love......
The night was capped off with Tim, Adrian, and Upstate, running up the falbled "Rocky Stairs" outside the Philadephia Museum of Art.
The turnout was good in that there were people there getting down........
Considering there was not naray a soul in the place for the opening band, it was a decent turnout.
