Not sure if anyone has seen this review. Scaned it and came across a nice Breakfast bit at the end of the friday review. Short but great for the band in what is written.
It is no wonder Timmy told me that after their performance there, the phone has been ringing from west and midwest venues.
So grassroots team it is time to get ready in the midwest and west!! Be sure to check out the Dig! forum in the weeks to come for news of tour I\'m sure.

that guy hit things the exact way that I saw them.....Buckethead was by far the worst act there....I saw him the first time that Buckt of Bernie Brains played at Bonnaroo I and he sucked then too. Cool for about 5 mins and then thats enough. Great read!

I hope to see the Breakfast reap the rewards of what sounds like an excellent run of festivals.

I found the Buckethead comments confusing.
"Focus your playing and ditch the fast food headgear. Corporate America doesn\'t need your support."
"I really love his music but, I\'m one of those weird cats that likes to look at a musician\'s eyes, closed or open, they are still the mirror of one\'s soul and you can\'t hide behind the trappings of a deranged hillbilly forever."

It sounds like the reviewer just can\'t get past the bucket. I have never seen Buckethead. Is it really that distracting or annoying?

Here is my buckethead review form Bonnaroo 2004

We went to see them I was realy tired. Bernie Worrell came out first and played some really killer keys for a while. then the rest of the band trickled out and then buckethead.

Dressed in an orange jump suit white / gray face paint to make him look like Michael Meyers (Halloween) and then he just shredded for like 2 hours. I mean he can definitley play the guitar and at times the band had this evil overtone to the music. I thought it was cool live.

When I go back and listen to the recordings the only thing that I keep thinking is Jeses this music is ****! Yes it maybe harsh but trying to listen to 2hrs+ of instrumental guitar thrashing is a little boring and it never went anywhere. So I think it would be safe to say that if you are very chemically enabled at their show you would walk away saying wow, but it doesn\'t hold up to continued listening

It is so strange the feeling you get when a band is about to get bigger. I first felt it with the Disco Biscuits at their 4/14/01 Roseland show, which at the time was the largest non-fest/holiday run crowd they had played in front of and it really was a palpable sense that something was about to happen...fast forward to 2005 and I am feeling that again around the Breakfast...The family atmosphere that sprouts out at every show, the amazing playing that is constantly melting faces and the press that seems to be picking up on this special band from "Shtaven. I cannot wait for it to happen...as Tim and Ron both keep saying to me and I feel it to "Disco...who?" If the Biscuits were to break up I am not so sure I would be that upset.

Go Breakfast.
