Oblivious to the seemingly-obvious fact that Adrian was on board, I drove to the Chowder Pot expecting a quiet acoustic evening. Then I heard the notes of AC/DC Bag ring out as I walked from the lot and thought to myself, "is that that the Breakfast in there?" Of course, it wasn\'t but the playing tons of energy, was tight as
****, and had people, both Breakfast die-hards and Chowder regulars, gettin\' down.
Personal highlights: Bag, simply rocked; Plush, great vocals from Ian; Ya Mar, when the dance floor was most moving; Shakedown, the culmination of everything with a great jam.
Obviously, Tim tore it up on electric, Sean had a great mandolin solo, and the bass player, whose name I should know but which escapes me, came up from Atlanta and held it down all night, then got a chance to solo late and had a great one.
This was a unique Tim, Ian and Co., show at a place that I had no idea had a bar and a dance floor (I always assumed it was just a seafood place). For me, it had the feeling of an early Breakfast show and was a great night of music with a highly-involved crowd, which as I said, featured an even mix of the Timmy Tourers and people who had probably never seen him and or any of these guys play. Everybody went home a winner.
