nice. thx for the reviews
So I\'m back, tho not technically "home", and I gotta go to work soon so here\'s my quick review of the weekend....
Overall- Great festival! the lines into the venue did not take me long at all, and we got set up and ready to go in no time.
Music-Umphries again put on an awesome festival set (not sure why i didn\'t like them much when i saw them at toads)
Sound Tribe was groovin, but never hit the big peaks that i expected (and their live set was way better than their PA set in my opinion)
Hallucinogen in Dub was probably my biggest surprise of the weekend, i had a great time with them (simon posfords live band)
The biscuits brought the HEAT all weekend. Right out of the gates, Bernstein and Chasnoff had peeople gettin doooooown!! My favorite set was probably first evening set on friday. My favorite songs were definitely the bernstein first night, the magellan the second night (seeeeeer jam, barber finally doin something really cool), and the song that nobody knew the last night (2nd to last song of the last set, before they played Sound 1)
but obviously the big highlight for me was the rooockin breakfast set saturday afternoon. when i first got there , 10 mins before they were supposed to start, there was practically nobody there. by the time they started coma after a lengthy opening jam, there were a couple hundred of people payin attention. by the time i walked around during the beginning of buquebus, several hundred people were gettin jiggy.
for me overexposure was the monster of the set. buquebus was really really good, and it sounded like matt was added a little riff to the opening that i dont remember jordan playing at all (but i am the uber-newb that has seen more trio shows than quartet shows) and i agree with zuke- not overly tranced out, just funky ass rock n roll. Tunage was pretty short, and unfinished (no drum roll + end section)
overall, lots of fun, great was to start my last day of the fest- and great response for the band, which they obviously deserve.... i can only hope they\'ll be back next year.
awesome awesome weekend. bennyboomers-great tunes, great times, thanks for drivin buddy, don\'t be upset about mother nature takin us down, there\'s only so much you can do when your up against a tornado.... princess, zuke, nick- sweet seein you guys and gettin down with they heady breakfast (thanks elisa!)
gotta get to work now, peace
Sound Tribe was groovin, but never hit the big peaks that i expected
Sound Tribe tunes go nowhere.

some rough comments there. thats shitty. for someone to say "easily one of the worst sets at camp" is hard to swallow. obviously there are a number of reasons for someone to not dig a set at times, one being their head mustve been up their ass, but
****. anyways, its good to hear from others here that there were, in fact, a lot of people gettin down. i just hope it\'s not being fluffed at all by supporters here on .info.
intelligent set for a Bisco crowd, though, and I\'m sure they brought it. surprising to hear the Buquebus didn\'t get trancy.

who cares what some custi techno tweaker bisco scrub thinks anyway? The clueless n00b factor is through the roof at every biscuit show since 2001 so I wouldn\'t really worry about what they are saying about the bfast on pt bisco.
Its funny also how so many bisco losers constantly hate on jambands but don\'t seem to realize that bisco IS just another jam band with a cheesey trance twist to it.
LOL
From PT Bisco thread:
"
**** umphreys and their cocksmoking sound"
At least its not just Breakfast takin\'
**** in that thread
a good example of how open to sounds other than unnttzz unnnttzz unntttzzz your typical bisco custi is.
if you need further proof of what brainless haters these people are go to "captorofsins" myspace page (

glad to hear the show was a success!! keep on rockin em!
