Isn\'t it about time to wrap this thread up?

Why wasn\'t the mooboo\'s from 3/22 ever mentioned?

I will second the syn and grav. Cant remember the puppetry well enough. that syn may be the best ever, its maybe not as epic sound as utica but its tighter and more driven.

I will also nominate rufus and OE from NYE

Glad I could help...

My opinion is, of course, no reflection on Stoops. I\'m sure if (it\'s still if, right?) Todd joined the band, they would sound like "The Breakfast Quartet" again after a couple weeks of practice and seven or eight shows. But right now, anybody except for Sequoia or Matt would sound like the fourth wheel on this solid, musical tricycle.

OE from higher ground is right up there with the noho hlh.  unfuckingreal, brah

I just listened to it again cuz I was thinking, whatchu talkin about chief?

Strikes me as a standard issue OE. Last one played at Iron Horse 2008-04-18 dominates it in every way.
I agree... Stoops played the song very competently, but didn\'t have the familiarity with the song to really elevate it. That whole show (the only one I\'ve heard from the Freakout run) sounds like the Breakfast Trio + keyboards, not the Breakfast proper.

Beef Barley 9-12-08 Wormtown (some SER under the radar type II action right here)

Hard Luck Harry 8-14-08 River Street Jazz Cafe-Wilkes Barre, PA (the whole jam is FIERCE and the 9-12 minutes mark is seriously some the most tasteful playing I have ever heard from this band)

side note - utica syn is still the fuckin bomb. right there with noho HLH. show me a more epic sounding jam than minutes 8-13 of this track. I dare you.

and the noho HLH is still the best overall jam this band has ever played. HANDS DOWN.

I thank god I was there to witness it with my Bsisters and Bbrothers

Sully\'s Rufus was something else for sure...

But upon relistening to this show a few times, the Hard Luck Harry (including the lead-in jam) is really something else. Dangle\'s bass groove gets so nasty for a while. A lot different than the Iron Horse HLH but I think the band broke some new ground at Sullys.

the sullys rust is straight up magical.  if iron horse HLH was not so sick this would easily be the gnarliest jam I have heard from this band.  the last 7 to 8 minutes of this jam could match anything on the shut up play yer guitar disks except pink napkins, imo.  never heard the band get so grimey, as far as i can recall

Absolutely.... it seemed like the timing and vocals had also been smoothed out since the last time I have seen Rust.

But still, reality check, 9/14/07 still rules ;)

Oh yeah and the Electric Company May Fly a few weeks before that.

ps sully\'s rufus was pretty experimental, tasteful, tight, rageable, and EPIC compared to other recent (talkin since early \'07) Rufus-es-es, but compared to plenty o\' barrels it\'s just a central taint toucher.

After the last chorus there\'s +3 minutes (7:23 - 11:06) of virtually nothing. The real jam doesn\'t even get going until 15:36. After that it\'s not a whole lot different than any other Rufus jam from this year. Sure, it builds up fast and keeps pace but you can get the same from any Over Exposure jam. Nothing about it is unique, at least in the sense to be included in this list.

I agree. It\'s good, buuut...
