#At funky biscuit tv

They sat with backs to stage, watching sports on TV and chatting throughout concert.

A young couple, he, obviously a relative of owner, came in just before music started. Next trip I should try one of the biscuit plates…considering the name of the place.Ĭaveats: the first four seats inside of door (great seats to see stage, btw) were controlled by owner/mgr. Two good-sized pretzels were served hotĪnd buttery w/ sides of dipping mustard & cheese…excellent. An excellent seat close to stage to see/hear music (please see caveat at end).ĭecent craft beer on tap and large liquor selection (did not check wine list).įood: I had one order of pub pretzels. My seat was about five stools in from entrance at Main Bar. Two bar seatings: Main Bar just inside door close to stage (Stage Left in theatre-talk) and a smaller Premium Bar across room (Stage R).

Round tables for four (maybe more) behind them on main floor, and then more tables on raised area in back of room. There are small tables directly in front of stage, good for two people looking to be on top of the action. a small to medium-sized room with good sight and sound. The venue is in an upscale shopping plaza near Boca’s main street. The sight lines and sound mix were excellent. I went to hear Billy Cobham, one of the greatest drummers ever, who at age 78 did not disappoint nor did his bandmates.

The band followed with a few more numbers leaving the audience breathless. While most drum solos are not that interesting, Phillips’ was particularly interesting and demanded the audience pay attention. He shifts time signatures, tempos, and rhythms so effortlessly it is beyond imagination. But the star was absolutely Phillips, who showed why he is considered one of the best drummers in the world.

Guitarist Greg Howe got the bulk of the feature moments being in front. Tracks like the tribal “Passage to Agra”, and the ballad “Phantom Voyage” were played with precision as each member showcased his talents.

Within this setting, Phillips and his band made up of guitarist Greg Howe, bassist Ernest Tibbs, and keyboardist Otmaro Ruiz, tore the house down with a great set of prog-jazz-fusion. The venue has great ambiance, phenomenal acoustics and great food. Such was the case when veteran drumming legend Simon Phillips brought his Protocol project to Boca Raton, Florida and a fantastic venue called The Funky Biscuit. But one of the treats a true music fan does not get to experience enough is that of a truly great group of musicians playing in an intimate setting and blowing minds with their virtuosity. Big arena shows are a great experience with all the lights, explosions, and hysteria.
