On the evening of 5/5/2001, Psychedelic Breakfast played a raging outdoor show at UMass to a crowd of a couple hundred rowdy and drunk students.
Today is the 4-year anniversary of that memorable show played in front of the dorm that Seth Wolfman and I lived in.
It was probably one of the best shows I have ever attended and was Wolfman\'s favorite show for several years thereafter (remember that Wolfman was the road manager for the B-fast in 2002 and went to every show they played in the first 8 months of the year).
If you haven\'t heard the show, I suggest you add it to your collection.
thanks for the information, if it is on archive I will get it...
you offically have started "This Day in Breakfast History"

Yup!
The 3-disk set was originally available for sale at the merch. table and online at livedisks.com back in 2001/2002.
This is still my favorite show of all time. If you are reading this and you have or can get this show, listen to it today. Right from the intro jam into Sundance you know they\'re on tonight. Awe-inspiring dynamics on that jam. HUGE crowd response throught.
Actually, it\'s still on sale at live discs. In fact, I think it\'s the featured album on sonance records\' website. (That site is hilarious. The Breakfast isn\'t even on the label anymore and their big features are Bona Fide and live Breakfast stuff from 2001 that you can download for free.) Also of note is that the Baker Quad show was the first show the band ever sold on CD\'s. Before that it was all tapes.
first pub show was a year ago.

agreed that this is one of the best shows ever... not to mention, one of the best recordings ever, imo. strange to think that it has already been 4 years...
With Lovelake on the set list, of course it\'s great!
it was cold at that show once the sun went behind the buildings. I remember ron was slapping for almost the entire second half of the show, even during the slow songs. I asked him why afterwards and he said \'Because its so cold out i couldnt feel my hand anymore so I couldnt trust my fingers to pick the strings. I was trying to wake up my hand and get some blood circulating.\'

The jam in Bouree was appropriately titled "Frostbite finger jam" on the tapes they sold a few months later.
Most people in the crowd were wasted and dancing so we didn\'t even know it was chilly.
