Good Morning Reality Concert Chronology

1997

-04/11/97  Philadelphia, NY                                      Theater of the Performing Arts
     other acts: Stress on Mine!, Bucket
     REHEARSALS: Burnout / Oh, Me / Smells Like Teen Spirit
     SETLIST: Smells Like Teen Spirit / Oh, Me
     ENCORE: Burnout
Notes: This was just as how most bands start out: really shi(tt)y and with lots of crowd pleasing covers.  The Indian River High School Talent Show.  First live performance by the band, then called the Pillsbury Buddhas.  First and only show with Mark Brand on guitar, first show with Matt Quay on drums.  Jacob Pete, Josh Hagen, Mark Brand, and Matt Quay made up this very early version of the band. Being the first ever performance, it is only natural that covers were played, Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Meat Puppets' "Oh, Me".  The band won first place in the band competition competing against Bucket and Stress on Mine! (featuring Kevin J. O'Neill Jr., Garrett Amyot, Scott Monaghan, and Jacob Pete)  Since the band won first place, they got to come out and do an extra song, so "Burnout" is debuted live, giving the world a brief taste of things to come.

Notes: Last show with Matt. The band is still called Pillsbury Buddhas.  Lots of covers, like Violent Femmes' "Blister In the Sun", Meatless Grillers' "Pop Song 9", Shocking Blues' "Love Buzz" (The Nirvana way), Nirvana's "Lounge Act", Lemonheads' "It's a Shame About Ray", gleeping geese's "Children's Books", Biscuit For Brisbaine's "Translucent" and "Mr. Greene" and "Fine Vinyl Bunny" by Dan Lawson and Kevin J. O'Neill Jr.  Super rare appearance of "Subliminal Messages", a song written back in the Beppo and the Supermonkey days, first ever "Tribbles 'n Bits", still in the early stages.  Overall, a very strange performance.
