New Love Lake is Epic!!!

[derickw]

Ellis, hook up the front lighting please. a simple strand of LED lights at the front of the stage would do wonders. i have blue ones around my bar that light up my whole room.

No the problem is not that he does not HAVE the front lighting. He does.
 He just does not know how to use conventionals ALONG w/ his movers.
It has always been a problem for him since The Puppethouse and if he has not gotten a clue yet, I doubt he will. :sigh:

is this song being made a big deal because it was brought off the shelf?  cause to me, it def doesnt not get the job done.  why unshelve this song i guess is what i am getting at.  does nothing for me and after listening to the show, is one of the lower points musically on the discs.

just my .02  flame away if you want to.

Yes that is the only reason.
I also do not think it\'s all that, but it is nice to have them bring back a song old school fans like and that they can reinterpet as The Breakfast.

I know nothing about working lighting rigs but i do know what i have to deal with and some ambient light is not a bad thing every now and then. But i appreciate what we have now compared to what was. leaps and bounds my friends, leaps and bounds

hey Leith, easy on the harsh negative criticisms, try offering some advise rather than put people on the defensive. cheer up man the glass is half full.

Gypsy Girl, I can do w/o.

:thumbsdow :sadban:

yeah, i gotta go w/ colin on this one.  Epic is a drastic overstatement.  I\'d use that term for Buquebus or Rufus, but Love Lake?  I dunno about that.  I\'d rather them bring back Kote, which I wouldn\'t call epic either, but I have more fun w/ that tune.  Gypsy Girl, I can do w/o.

love Kote great tune! (let\'s start an untrue rumor about that) I love "Love Lake" but yeah not epic but a great tune none the less

Ok, I was just really impressed with how they reworked it, but I will state once more IT IS A JAM VEHICLE!!  Kote and Gypsy Girl BOTH need to return...

You seem to think I have not offered advice. I HAVE!!
 I have personally face to face talked to him about what he can do to improve his lighting the band. He has never responded to any PM\'s I have sent and basically has ignored my advice.
I keep my mouth shut usually about this subject but seeing as I have 10 years experience lighting bands and have lit(actually in more ways than one;)) The Breakfast myself, I think I know what I am talking about.

Oh and btw I Like Gregg and think he does have potential to be an excellent LD.

[Overexjoesure]

Whenever I did lighting I always kept some kind of constant ambient light so the band/artists were lit at all times.  Then I would play along with the music........and it was some of the most fun I\'ve ever had in my life.

No dude I am not bashing him. I made a comment that I wish I could see the band.
 Others commented that they agreed. I then clarified for Derick that Ellis does have front lighting, just does not use it.
Then I was told to offer advice so I posted how I have. That\'s all.

 Kote and Gypsy Girl BOTH need to return...

Kote needs to return because they completely destroy it.

Gypsy Girl needs to return because there are few jams as jazzy in the current rotation.  Also Jordan\'s piano work is beautiful, check out 1/26/01 for proof.

:holyshit: SER? j/k, to each his own. i for one love love lake. It is a good throwback to old pb song, which i cant get enough of. i don\'t really think the Breakfast should shelf any of their songs, just play some more rarely then others.

i think it sounded great.  i wouldn\'t say epic, but definitly wouldn\'t be a cigarette break... or now that i dont smoke, a fresh air break.
