This show was on Friday 4/13/07 at the Electric Factory.  Burlap To Cashmere was first, consisting of frontman Steven Delopoulos and guitarist Johnny Philippidis.  They did "Anybody Out There", and crowd favorite "Basic Instructions", and "Skin is Burning" by request.  It was a nice acoustic set, and left me wanting more.  Great to see these guys back, looking forward to their new stuff.  They actually have a couple new demos on their myspace page.  If these guys pull together a few more quality bandmembers, they could return to their 1999 form and be amazing again.  I saw them live back then and they were incredible.

Next, hailing from South Carolina, was NeedToBreathe, who I've wanted to see live for a long time.  They sound a little more raw live, which was awesome.  The production of their album is very polished.  They have good stage presence as well.  They played a couple new songs which sounded great.  They failed to play "Don't Wait For Delight", my fave by them, but completely rocked otherwise.  Highlights were set-opener "Don't Leave Just Yet", and "Shine On." These guys are one of the best bands not many know about, I'm expecting them to explode with their next album....

Jars came out last with guns blazing, starting the set with "All My Tears", and "Work" off the Good Monsters album.  They played a nice mix of their material.  Nice surprises were "Revolution" off The Eleventh Hour album and "Crazy Times" off the Much Afraid record.  They did a cool rendition of "Flood", much to the crowd's delight.  Other highlights were Monster album standouts "Dead Man", and the stark "Oh My God".  They also played "Liquid", and "Love Song for a Savior", and "Worlds Apart" (by overwhelming crowd reqest) off the first record.  I would have liked to have heard them do "Waiting for the World to Fall" off the Narnia cd.  But they put on an excellent show, and definitely played to the crowd.  Dan addressed a couple people he knew in the audience, and overall made it a very personal-feeling show.
