I: Space City Affair > May Fly Disarray*, Beef Barley, Episode 3 (Awakening), Language Of The Gods > No Regret > Space City Affair > Space Oddity** > jam^ > Son Of Simpleton
II: jam^^ > Love Lake > jam > Tribal Funk Affliction > Surreal Radio > jam > Tribal Funk Affliction, Bugs, Mooboo\'s Voodoo (Episode 2) > We\'re An American Band
* ending only.
** with \'Karma Police\' (Radiohead) tease.
^ with \'Anchors Aweigh\' (Traditional) jam.
^^ \'Munchkin Invasion\' (The Disco Biscuits) jam; joined setbreak music in progress.
From the Boston Boat Cruise, to Block Island, to Narragansett, to Albany, I would say that the NYC Boat Cruise contained the best 2 sets of the Boating With The Breakfast run.
The jams were tight, original, innovative, as well as intense. The Beef Barley contained, what Tim like\'s to call, "the stoned R2-D2". It is basically a crazy effect that he gets off of his Magic Stomp pedal. He was playing around with it during soundcheck, and upstate said that he should throw that into Beef. Great Call...
The Episode 3 had Tim abusing the SG like a red headed stepchild. It was crying the blues for Buquebus.
The Language was heady as
**** and caused the releasing of some serious birds.....
No Regret was a nice heavy break to all the headieness.
The gem of set 1 was the Space Odditiy > jam > Son of Simpleton. The jam was a trancy, rocking, funky, and grooving, with a seamless segue into SOS. Pure delight....
Set 2 kicked off the way Set 1 ended. Ser Bisco jam into a seamless transition into Love Lake, which hasn\'t been played in some time........
The Tribal > Surreal > Tribal was a real treat as Surreal has been dormant for some time and it was wrapped in one of the freshest Tribal jams I have heard.
Bugs, a great heady jammer to to cleanse the pallet after the insanity of Tribal Surreal sandwich.
However, the gem of Set 2 and possibly the entire night was the Episode 2. For some time, back in the day, whenever you heard Ep 2 starting, you knew you were in for a ride. This ride was by far my favorite Ep 2 I have ever seen.......So now I have Albany Rufus and NYC Boat Cruise Eppy 2.
The american band was, I thought, a perfect way to end the night. A rocker by some ser rockers. If you haven\'t been part of tearing a hotel down with this crew, then the charm of this song may be lost on you........Ellis on Cowbell = priceless....
Either way it was an amazing night out on the estuary..........
