sound quality is good considering what i remember it sounding like at the venue.

thanks a lot for recording and remastering dave.

the vocals were pretty much what I remembered them to be.

most of the composed sections were friggin nailed with a noticeable and delightful bfast tone/twist/undercurrent

most of the jams are as good I remember and a lot are also actually BETTER.

Pretty much all ser , and a few EPIC ones.

In the end the show definitely did live up to the all the hype.

All night and at the IH too they just really did a wonderful job of staying in the zone on the genius-virtuoso-tightness but always BALANCING it against let-loose-and-rage-ness.

When they are ON, their new sound is so much more mature than it ever has been and in terms of musical/career milestones, this weekend really solidifies that new era of bfast balance in my mind, paving the way for the future for lots of really really really ser ser ser ser shows.

So anyway....Well done boys, well done indeed. :thumbsup: :awwyeah:

davepeck, you are the man.

I agree for the most part dave, but I would lower the vocal scores a few points across the boards and raise the composed and jams scores slightly here and there .

LB overall rating = 9.1
Entire show overall rating = 9.4
Overall Fun Factor =10

i\'d disagree by saying that the vocals on lawn boy are awful, but the piano solo in coil is brilliant!

Overall coil solo rating= 7

I think a 6 is kinda harsh because it was good but was def not anything to really rave about either. I can only really give it a 7 though because it paled in comparison to even an average paige version. It is also meant to be played at the end of a show, not halfway through the first set so I think that should definitely be taken into consideration because it most likely impacted the tastefulness and emotional magnitude of it.

Is homeboy really lobbying for an inverted LB to end a show?

perhaps brilliant was a bit much. but only a bit. his solo sounded like a page solo, to me. certainly not one of the coils that brings tears, but it held very much stylistically true. and you\'re right, coil needs to close a second set, not be put mid-first set typically, but due to the placement in this show, i think matt\'s shorter more concise ending was a good call. all i know is that after hearing his solo, i was *sure* that the rest of the album was gonna be great! it showed how much time/effort they (or he, at least) put into this and raised something that was cool to hear (bfast playing coil) and elevated it to an event (The Breakfast is Playing COIL!!). really set the tone for the rest of the songs, imo.

i think i\'d put the overall around 8/8.5, so its really not a very big disagreement...

Thank you Dave. Can\'t believe what I\'m hearing! One word. EPIC.

Finally getting a listen.......

Wow I thought Adrian nailed that high note at the end of Coil when actually there.. Ha! Flatsy doodles. Must\'ve been my internal voice hittin\' it. His playing on the other hand -- FLAWLESS. Really. Now I\'m into Reba and the man was Fishman in every sense that night.

Good lord I really should be studying. This is not good.

heh. yeah, that was one of the first things i noticed too. thought he hit it at the show, but it was definitely a sorry chip listening back to it.

and adrian did a great job, but since you mentioned reba, the drum break was botched.

Gordo · « **Reply #27 on:** October 30, 2007, 10:42:59 pm »

dude, absolutely. this is interesting. i mean they still sound very good and i cant name another band that could pull this off at this level, but im definitely going to listen to thee Lawn Boy tomorrow.

btw, if anyone cares, once i\'m done seeding the BT, i\'ll be working on getting the 24-bit versions of the entire weekend up.
