Pretty amazing the vibe in that room on Friday night.
This was the only show of the three that I was able to make.
While Providence looks better on paper to me, there's not a
doubt in my mind that I was able to make it to the right show.
Everyone came out. Friday night was the BFam 15(ish)-year
reunion.
We'd seen hints of it in 2013, with a few strong mini-reunions.
I'm sure Boston and Providence this weekend were incredibly
strong in that department as well. But while the BFam represents
in a big way throughout most of New England, what happened on
Friday night could not have happened anywhere but Connecticut.
It seemed like every time I turned around, I ran into someone
else from this family who I hadn't seen in years. Someone who I
used to see night after night, show after show. Someone who is a
core Psychedelic Breakfast fan who I used to see the band in
bars with before I was old enough to drink. Someone who has
spent his entire fandom thousands of miles away, and another who
was a hometown fan who relocated - both of whom flew in to see
the shows. Someone who has greatly documented so much of what
this band has done. Someone who ran up and danced on stage at
the first Fonghoulish Freakout, who is now married to the
keyboard player and the mother of his child. And so many, many
more.
And when things settled down and we turned our attention to the
stage, there was the music. The music that had brought us
together so many times for so many years had brought us together
once again. It was an incredibly satisfying setlist that was
executed exceptionally. The first set gave us a great variety
and range of Breakfast songs old and new, and was capped off
with the band's once-elusive cover of Focus' "Sylvia" - always a
fan-favorite. And there was no doubt the band meant business
when they came out of the gates with "Wild Pack of Asscracks".
After a good breather, the second set brought out the heavy
hitters. "Metropolis" rocked and laid the foundation nicely for
what was to come. I don't think anyone would say no to a
"Buquebus" and "Rufus" in the same set! "Taboo or Not Taboot"
and "Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples" (Funkadelic) were
excellent get-down songs after being kicked in the face by the a
couple of the band's biggest and baddest songs. That get-down
vibe stayed with us the rest of the way, and took us out with
two of the band's oldest songs, "The Vermont Song" and "Gladys
Pimp And Kangaroos With Me"
The nights that you don't want to end always seem to go by the
fastest. And this night was no exception. Just like that, it was
over. The lights went on and we shuffled out the same way we'd
shuffled in a few hours earlier - hours that seemed like
minutes. We said our goodbyes, keeping most of them long, and
were on our way.
...but not before Stu Blatt was able to assemble a bunch of us
for a miniature group photo:

Thank you Stu Blatt for what is a perfect memory of the evening
for me.
There truly is no place like home. It was SO good to see you.
