Thanks to FrankZappa for the setlist!
This was a fun time (as always). I\'m going to bed now.
:tired:
great little crowd to send the boys off on tour with. One of Greg\'s lights met with catastrophe tonight while they were at dinner and is out of commission for the time being. It was set up on stage on a crate. When they came back, no one was sure what happened or who did it, but it was on the stage, broken in two. :sigh: He has several calls in to see what can be done for tour but lighting gear isn\'t like running down to the local music shop because you broke a string... Anywho, openers had a good crowd going and they stayed/were there for breakfast through all of set 1. setbreak doozed out at least 3/4 of them but those who stayed were treated to a great little funk dance party. The synergy breakdown sounded like they were going to build right back into a trance jam but instead they held back and wandered off into ambience a-la the middle of a trippy tweezer before eventually raging back into synergy and bringing those puppetry teases into a full fledge version of the song. IMO chris was the hero of the night. Everyone was playing, but he was just laying down one groove after another, and doing some pretty damn impressive effects on the pedals. I was not the only one to notice as peaches started the "dangle-deuce!" chant as they left the stage.
john whaley = man of the hour. :thumbsup:
so it\'s now 5:30 am, a 2 hour nap in the pimpmobile, xl light and sweet coffee, shower, and bowl of cereal later (not in that order) and I\'ve been at work for 30 minutes. By the time I leave, Gavin will be a star and I\'ll be half awake, but for now I\'m bouncing off the walls.
:banjump:
Great to see everyone who was there, some people coming out of the woodworks for me were Jocelyn, James, Igzy, Posty, Andrea, Wolfman, and for the first time since ween, a full fledge princess sighting, not merely an elisa. Damn girl, you were raging! :lol: As for Whaley and Ashley, just remember me when you\'re getting yourself a sonic burger while sitting in traffic on the q bridge.
was this recorded? sounds like an excellent line-up!
i know HLH is great everytime, but I feel they are playing it a ton lately, maybe too much....i know, i\'m probably alone on this one

it actually happened not long after loading in...a while before dinner. we were outside at the van, went back in, and the light had mysteriously fallen off of the stage. no idea what happened/who did it. i really think that harper\'s ferry is just cursed. last night was a great show, but i will never be a fan of that venue/the management there.
even with that start to the evening, i had a blast at this show. totally wasn\'t expecting to hear eppy 1!!!! gladys>puppetry=probably my favorite part of the night. sucks that there was no encore..
i\'m not gonna make some long list of everyone i was fortunate enough to run into last night, but have to say that i\'m impressed with the turnout that there was on a wednesday night. great to see all of you boston-new hampsh-ri people!
I knew I\'d be disappointed that I didn\'t go after seeing the setlist.
It looks scorchin, and I would have been treated to a lot of firsts for me (Metro, CMSS, Hard Luck, Escher\'s 4, Synergy, and Gladys). Plus I wanted to meet the B\'fast crew!!! Looks like it\'ll have to be the Iron Horse and/or Higher Ground. Hope ya\'ll had fun!
jam > Synergy* > Episode 1 (Happy)** > Synergy^
very interesting considering this is kinda what they did in utica.
tapers?
I wouldn\'t say "hero" but Chris was definetely laying it down for the rest of the band last night. Great show. That was my first time seeing Metropolis and Etcher\'s 4 live, and really dug both of them. I think Metropolis, Gravity was the highlight of the first set and Synergy->Eppy 1->Synergy the second.
For a mid-week show, I think the crowd was pretty good. Hopefully it turned some heads in Beantown and the band will be back for a weekend show before xmas.
What is Ellis doing putting an expensive light on a crate for?
Why wouldn\'t you secure that light to a stable fixture?
Looks like a great set!!!
looks like insanity..def a good way to start the national tour
god i love that set list!
Did mcajam make it to the show?
