My first PB headine show since the Bona Fide release party and it was a night of spectacular jams. If I had looked at the setlist without hearing it, I probably would have thought it to be a good show, but not off-the-charts because they didn\'t play a lot of my A-list songs. Who gives a
****? Every jam was A-list. Episode One had energy from the git-go and the crowd was into every song and stayed energetic through the jams, all of which seemed the perfect amount of length--enough to satisfy, but never overly long. Great segues throughout also. My favorite parts of the show were See The Light, as I like the new arrangement and it was my favorite jam of the night, Gravity, which I had never heard, and loved how that jam gradually built its way into a frenzy while all the others were constantly frenzied (which was great also, but I like a change of pace), and the drum solo. Unquestionably, my favorite Adrian solo and possibly the best I\'ve heard in my life. Who knows the time on that? Felt like 10 minutes. Drunk Monk also
**** tore.
Anyway, great performance. Let\'s do it again sometime soon, eh?

I have to agree with you 100% Pitch.
I can\'t believe I forgot to mention the fast jam right after Episode I. It sounded structured to the extent that I thought it might have been a new instrumental original. I later found out it wasn\'t. But still, it sounded good enough so that it could have been. Great few minutes.
best toads place show by far..for a thursday night too. the playing was tight and how bout the sound! good job josh Dobson ..the bass solo in \'Spunk\' was real cool and thats when i was like,
**** it sounds damn good in here. Richters for the first time, as well as half yarders also added a little specialty to the night. good to see everyone, and meet some. very good rock show to say the least. LivingROOM!!!
I thought see the light sounded nasty as hell with the intro played after the main part of the song. Think it sounds even better that way than before. anyway, sick show and lots of fun.
I\'m surprised more people haven\'t mentioned Adrian\'s amazing show. He looked like he had just descended Mount Sinai with his hair all Biblically unfurled, and then he played the best
**** show I\'ve ever heard him play. Awesome solo and generally amazing performance. Enjoy the Living Room to those who AREN\'T celebrating their girlfriend\'s birthday tonight (not that I\'m bitter).
The energy they brought last thursday at Toads was unreal!!!

Yes, what an awesome show it was. Could it be the untightened hair follicles? One of the best I\'ve seen come from him!!!
Other than the last Short Beach drum solo, that was the sickest display that I have personally witnessed live. I still give the nod to the SB solo because of the usage of surrounding objects(i.e. window, window sill, tv platform, etc)
