To answer question: yes, it was recorded. Fitz got the audio, and Ken did the camera work from down in front. I definitely want a copy!!

awesome show.
even the sound which i could honestly take or leave was great. wtf was damn good and really set the tone for the night. i brought a kid from work, he and his girl kept asking me to describe their sound i did the best i could, i went over to them after wtf and he goes, "is that what ya meant? man, they kept building and building and getting harder and then it all went crazy and came back where it started, wow, it was really good!" i just nodded happily. he kept thanking me throughout the night for inviting them. that made me happy.
anyway, inner glimpes, the prolonged intro to metrop, and obviously the entire song, was just great and kept the energy level up. drunk monk was just insane, after seeing it at ace of clubs on 12/30 i was wondering if i\'d get one again, only took 8 fuckin\' months, christ. man, did it hit hard and go everywhere, what a perfectly placed, great, great, version. what a great follow up to drunk monk with stl. like drew said, what else can ya really say about this song? i did like how far out there it got and loved the way they got us pretty much all thinking it was clearly going into scheme, but nooooo.
glad they delivered on the obvious highlight of the night for me. it\'s been a while. if that song doesn\'t sum up who the breakfast is, then i don\'t know what could. it seemed like the floor actually filled up as the song went on.
what a good time, i guess i\'ll have to go to sully\'s tonight and subject myself to more great music. work, work, work. ;)

I: jam > The Sound > What the Funk, Inner Glimpse > Metropolis, Drunk Monk Bar, See the Light* > The Grant Scheme of ThingsAnother great show at the Field last night. Everything was really tight, but Drunk Monk is when things started to get epic. I\'m terrible at estimating times, but Drunk Monk had to be one of the longest (and best) in history. The jam near the end went off into places normally reserved for a Rufus jam, reaching a point where there seemed like no way it would go back into the song (it did, FYI). See the Light really got the place moving; it\'s just a song that\'s so consistently great that there is no point in even talking about it.
E: The Chase**
* inverted; with \'The Grand Scheme of Things\' tease
** without organ intro
What is the best Breakfast song? It sounds like an opinion question, but it\'s not. Because the answer is The Grand Scheme of Things. The last third of Scheme alone is as powerful and epic as anything I have ever heard on stage.
At a lot of Breakfast shows, the cheering for an encore is almost perfunctory ("they\'re going to play one more, let\'s cheer so it\'s not embarrassing when they come back on"). Based on the time (after 1:15am) and the way the house lights came on, last night\'s encore seems like it really only happened because the crowd was so fired up from Scheme. Going right into The Chase was a good choice; I\'d like to hear it jammed into (without the intro) more often. It was a fast and energetic (maybe just because they only had five minutes, but I\'ll take it) way to close out the night. There\'s no way to top Scheme, so you may as well just funk it up.
As always, it was great to see everybody. Enjoy Sully\'s; hopefully I\'ll see you all at Daniel St. on Sunday.

seriously, though, it\'s a decent venue. it\'s free. definitely a step above college bar and a step below trendy bar. with a pinch of sports bar. since there\'s no cover, there will be many 22-30 year olds there on a friday night. it\'s pretty close to the highway. plenty of other bars in the area to pregame if you wanted. a bunch of eateries in the area too (including the field), if you get to fairfield early enough.
it is not in the slums of bridgeport....
my tinted nissan xterra was broken into there and backpack & gymbag were stolen from it -- not in the lot but around a corner in the neighborhood.
Pretty common knowledge to never leave a bag in an unattended car in pretty much any city. Many breakins involve sweaty gym clothes but the robbers always assume there is value in the bag and take the shot.
Quote from: LBoogie;235047
the field is a great venue...and continues to grow on a musical level.
Not that I really care if The Field is a cool venue or not. However, the fact that all the shows there seem to be free is pretty damn nice. I paid $15 to see a Willie Waldman Project last month (albeit with a sick lineup that was indeed worth every penny: http://www.archive.org/details/wwp2009-05-13.flac) Free Breakfast, Waldman, TP etc.....is a treat. Most bars with free music generally book hit-or-miss talent with plenty of misses.

Stats are either on page 1 or 2 of this thread. The general consensus was that Bridgeport is basically a dump, but the area where the The Field is, is pretty safe...
