Minus Synergy, this looks like an incredible kick off!!
Ok, wow set one? wow!! type II madness I presume?
Weird setlist... there must be a couple 30 minute monsters in there.

**** ME
oh well
stayed home cause i caught the nasty w00k flu at moe.down.
hope you all had a good time
i\'ve never heard the band jam more than I did tonight.....HLH was very good, never heard rust jammed out like it was last night. Place went nuts for merge
oh man.....how am i going to go multiple months without this band! First set looks incredible....can\'t wait to hear it!!!! Hey galenas, thanks for the cut me some slack call!!!! Made my year!!!!
Oh my freakin lord, last night was way out of hand!!! I was absolutely floored. The energy coming off that stage and from the crowd was crazy. Though I am still somewhat newbtastic, I am going to have to say this show impressed me more than any of the others in recent time (yes, Southbridge) and that is saying a hell of a lot.. The entire show was solid but Hard Luck Harry just about made my mind explode/ face melt / body combust. Merge was incredibly bad ass. Let\'s just say I jumped pretty damn high and got down pretty seriously. I thought Cut Me Some Slack was a fabulous pick for an encore to end an outstanding night.
(The only thing I would have changed would be having my L Train present.. Not the same without you..<3)
Please tell me this was taped!?!?!
Maybe last night was the best-ever Hard Luck Harry or maybe it wasn\'t. Either way, it\'s definitely on the short list as I can\'t think of many versions that are even in the same stratosphere. It traveled a multitude of paths and each one led to some place special.
Sick show. Frenzied crowd. Fuckin\' Sully\'s.
definatley some serious jammin. Rust sounded tight and .the HLH was really good, but it sounded like there was an attempt by adrian to bring it to an end and the rest of the guys were doin their own thing which led to some forced playing. no complaints though, other things always make up for it as they always do.
On paper you can tell this is crazy.
3 song first set??? what??
rust bustout. what???
any show with merge is top 10 automatically.
and a cmss encore is effin nutzo.
cant wait to move back east
i cant believe no one has mentioned the rufus yet.
9-5-08: the redefinition of rufus - they went into this slow funk section in the jam, totally out of the ordinary. probably was close to 25-30 minutes
In general, this was by far the most experimental show ive ever seen from the band...def in my top 5.
the best part (as i said about a million times), was how many awesome people there were last night...i felt like i havent seen a crowd like that in a LONG time in terms of how many people i knew there.
so fun the whole night, thanks to everyone
one more thing to add: the opening 2nd set jam>HLH totaled probably over 45 minutes easy
oh man.....how am i going to go multiple months without this band! First set looks incredible....can\'t wait to hear it!!!! Hey galenas, thanks for the cut me some slack call!!!! Made my year!!!!
you leaving the country or something?

LOL I love it. You do realize that they\'ve played Merge over 100 times, right?
Last night stands out for what certainly has to be the fewest songs ever played in a complete 2-set+encore show. Only 8 songs. That\'s insane. Sully\'s always packs a good show. It never ceases to amamze how Breakfast Nation can be rocking inside while the Hartford Hoodlums are 10 feet away outside on the deck and everything just flows normally. I could completely exhaust my musical vocabulary trying to explain all of the different jams, but I\'ll step aside and leave this one to your own ears. Have fun listening! Great to see everyone, excellent vibe out there last night!
