I can’t recall exactly, but I think they did bring it out a bit long… maybe 6 minutes for the whole song.
I was at this show at well. The band was really on the whole night, and the Ballroom is such a cool venue. Uhh, some notes on the show:
Awesome Color played a good set, a lot of the audience got in to it, the band seemed genuinely surprised at the energy they got from the crowd.
When Dinosaur came out, Lou started off by telling the audience that someone stole a nice blue jacket of his from his dressing room, and pleaded for it to be returned if anyone had it. He said it was a $150 jacket and the only nice piece of clothing he owned. On a side note, J was wearing a Wipers T-shirt (from a 2002 tour, I think?). Before "Back To Your Heart", Lou’s jacket got thrown back on to stage. "You’ve redeemed yourselves, Portland!" he proclaimed. Lou dedicated "Feel The Pain" to the summer. Somewhere midway in the main set, Murph left the stage for a few minutes (??) and Lou called for the audience to yell "MURPH!" to get him back. At the end of Gargoyle, J set up a delay/repeat loop on his guitar, set it down on the stand, then left the stage. The only real big technical problem I noticed the night was that Lou’s vocals were a bit low on the PAs, but that could have just been because I was standing about 8 feet away from J’s amps. J broke a string during the second solo on Sludgefeast, and surprisingly enough the hums and squeals of him changing to his other guitar sounded like it was in the right key for the solo.
