BRIAN SOLO PERFORMANCE KANSAS CITY JULY 12 ! KEGS N EGGS 21+

Hey all!, Just heard the news and thought I'd pass it along to the diehards heading out to the Lawrence show that may not know. Thursday morning at 6am, Kansas City alt station 96.5 the buzz will be doing an acoustic Kegs n Eggs show with Brian! www.965thebuzz.com has the info. Its a 21+ show! Double dose of Gaslight for the 12. Feeling quite spoiled!

...why so early?

Maybe because it's a breakfast show?

breakfast at 6:00 A.M.? That is a little crazy.

...ermm..not really.

Hopefully this means another pro-shot video on the way

Ugh, starting to think I should stay in Lawrence that night at a buddies so I can go see this show in the morning.

EDIT : Need to read things more...and sleep.

I can't decide which is worse - 21+ or 6 AM. I'll just stick with the nighttime show...

Haha, you sure it's legit? Somehow I don't picture Brian ever being awake at 6am, haha. Especially in the middle of a tour when sleep is important! That's cool though you guys are lucky.

haha, its pretty hard to find info about it so far, but you can hear the annoucement clip here http://www.965thebuzz.com/July-6--2012/11315180?

It specifies it will be Brian alone, and not a whole lot much else. Haha, hope to see you all bright and early!

But seriously...why would a 6 AM event need to be 21+? Are they serving beer for the people who haven't gone to bed yet?

KEGS n Eggs... yes. lots of beer.

This sounds like a downright strange event haha. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the guys bet him money to do it because it's at such an awful hour.

How 'bout...

But seriously...why would a 6am event even exist? even 8 would be kind of reasonable.

There's no way Brian's playing at 6am. Hell, I'd be surprised if they can even get to Kansas by 6 am with a show the night before in Minneapolis.

A little digging and it's doors at 6am. Here's the event page https://www.facebook.com/events/111596372318091/

Is this a radio station show? or something else?

Beer, Breakfast and Brian at 6am. That sounds like from another galaxy. Maybe I'm too old

I'm too young!

I would love to go but
A:Not Twenty one
B:I work at 7:00AM ever week day
and the most important
C:I am not in Kansas anymore!

I read in an interview recently that Brendan O'Brien called Brian at 10am after recording a song for Handwritten the prior night, and Brian said that was "way too early"

It was 8am (I've come across this in a written interview and I believe a spoken one that said it) haha, that's why I was like 6am? He also once said he sometimes sleeps till 11:30am. And it's not even like he'd be getting up at 6 he'd have to get up earlier to get there on time. Even if he napped all day I wouldn't be surprised if that caused him to be out of it at the show.

lots of college towns have Kegs and Eggs events

an example of kegs and eggs event is when all the bars in San Jose opened at 6am during the day of graduation for people to drink before graduation which was at 9am.

Damn, that sucks. We are headed to Lawrence shortly, but couldn't have made that with having to drop the kiddos at school.

So did anyone go to this?

yea, i just got back from a 2 hour drive for it. Completely worth it. Drove in to KC last night just for this and stayed about a block away. Not a huge crowd - which i dug. Brian had great banter with the crowd throughout his set and I was pretty much laughing every time between songs. He had a great bit about how he doesn't like people idolizing musicians (I hope someone recorded that.. it made a ton of sense in his words and the context).

Doors opened at 6am and the first 100 had first beer free and free breakfast

Set from what I can remember (In no order): 45, blue jeans, 59 Sound, Here's Lookin at You Kid, Meet Me By The River's Edge, a new cover that i didn't recognize that he said he had learned 2 days ago (it was AWESOME).. if anyone has the name of that tune, I'd love to track down the original... He may have had one or two more, but I had a few drinks and it was so early that I can't really recall right now.

Requests for "We Did it When We Were Young" were thrown out and he thought about playing it...but didn't

All in all, totally worth the wait time, the drive and waking up early for. Stoked to catch the full band in St. Louis tomorrow night. The station (96.5 The Buzz) recorded the set through a soundboard.. someone should try and help us all out with working their contacts for a rip of that There will be videos soon posted on their fb/website, I'm sure.

I really liked how after the first two songs or so, majority of the people put their phones away and didn't sing along and just enjoyed the moment. I really hate when people sing along during quiet songs and they are off-key, pet-peeve..

(I've been lurking this thread forever and forgot my account name from a couple years ago.. so first post here, woohoo!)
