It should be noted that with the exception of May Fly, Jordan sang all the songs he normally would, sharing vocals with Tim on The Chase.

It should also be noted that I felt this was basically a perfect show, the sweetest of trips down memory lane. It was great to hear a bunch of songs that are a bit lighter in rotation these days and of course to again see Jordan, who had a spectacular night. The atmosphere at this show was highly positive and rivals that of most I\'ve seen recently. There were constant smiles abound from both the band and fans.

Jam of the night for me was See The Light, but the Hush jam went on longer than I expected and was also excellent. Mooboo\'s was its usual eerily emotional self. And as someone who has never been a big fan of The Vermont Song, I do have to admit that I felt it was the absolute perfect finish, partially because it was fitting to have Jordan on vocals to close the show, and partially because it was just a nice bouncy number to end things after a ton of sick jamming.

This show is easily on the short list for the best performances by The Breakfast this year.

pitch nailed the description by saying it was perfect, cuz it really was. absolutely beautiful playing by everyone. jordan played as if he never left. nicky was almost overcome at the begining of see the light, as i\'m sure some of us also were too, she said to me like 3 or 4 times something like, "hey don\'t mind me, it\'s been a while since i\'ve seen this ya know." jordan with the breakfast was definitely something i never thought i\'d see again. just a lot of beautiful moments.

understandably the opening started off a tiny bit rusty or unsure sounding, which only lasted for a minute at the most. then i was trying to order a drink and forgot what i wanted when i heard tim start to sing mayfly, i was like, "oh no," but i guess it was ok, cuz once the **** got going i forgot all about it. don\'t even get me started on puppetry, ****. just pure magic. doughboy was spectaclar. you enjoy myself?!?!? holy ****! flawless. i got a little shaky during jordan\'s piano parts. so what. simpleton out of yem?!! seriously. i didn\'t even know what to do at that point. and yet there was another set....

set 2 opened with a serious funk jam that seemed to go in a few different directions before it set it\'s sights on taboot. pretty crazy.

seeing jordan sing see the light again was something i won\'t soon forget. i got chills. has it really been that long? sadly yes. the jam was unbelievably good, so focused, so driven and determined, then it got all fast and crazy, i really thought it was gonna go into something, but it couldn\'t have more perfectly come back to the begining. just an amazing feeling. such an emotional time. i also don\'t care for hush, but it was really fuckin\' good.

i have no idea what to say about mooboo\'s. just thinking about it makes me smile. when it came back around, before tim sang his part i almost lost my ****. insane jam.

PERFECT encore. i\'ve always thought that. jordan on harmonica, come on, man!!! just one more way toy with our emotions. but seriously as far as i\'m concerned the "colorful trees the autumn breeze blows free/peace and love surrounding me," part can go on forever....

There were newbs, but they could have been there coincidentally. Bear & Grill is somewhat popular with local 20-somethings who don\'t want to go to a Fairfield U. or Sacred Heart bar. I\'m awful at these projections, but I would say that the place was at least 75% dotinfo after setbreak (midnight or thereabouts).
