Run Like Bisco
A quiet Saturday afternoon at home, so I put on The Disco Biscuits live from High Sierra Music Festival Late Night Funk n' JamHouse - 7/2/06.

The show started around 2am on Sunday night (Monday morning) after 4 incredible days in the woods of Quincy.
They open with a poppy Highwire, which gives everyone a kick of the happy before seguing beautifully into an intense Run Like Hell which goes on and on for upwards of 10 minutes without getting meandering or losing steam.
In the end, it's pure bisco - triumphant, exciting, goosebumps, peaking, "We Win! We Win!"...all the stuff that made me fall in love with them in the first place.
A beautiful The Very Moon, taken from the never produced epic Hot Air Balloon Rock Opera. Debuted New Years 1998, the complete HAB has only been played a handful of times and has yet to see the light of day in what would surely be a proper two disc orchestral release. Some day...
Next comes the heat of the evening - a blistering I-Man > Helicopters > I-Man > Helicopters! back into I-Man yes it's Helicopters again and wait now I don't know where we are but it's really awesome and now we're back in Helicopters, huge and bright and triumphant and ... and ... wait now it's I-Man again over it goes i'm breaking through, look out below Helicopters, back to the I-Man
This is the whole other side of the band. On one hand you've got your trance fusion dance party, and then comes the ultimate head fake transitional overload symphony, switching from one song to the next, inverting and distorting, around and around and back again, a musical carwash, blowing out the cobwebs, wiping the slate clean with dance party thrown in for good measure before bringing it all back home...
Wow, that was fun...
