@ THE CHASE
Manthesis hawk, swoop low, searchin\' for a feast
Scanning along the horizon the sun shimmered off his beak
His eyes were fixed upon me, move closer without a blink
I closed my eyes for a moment and prayed he\'d leave me be
He attacked with fury, the force of a thousand men
I knew my life was over
As he circled about my head
Chase between good and evil, the worst is closing in
The fight is never over, but the battle they may win
I laid there for a second, trying to catch my breath
Rose to my feet slowly my eyes burnt from drippin\' sweat
He continued with determination to finish me piece by piece
My attempt to defend myself
Was pointless for I was weak
Sky fills up with terror, as his heart squashes my peace
Violence will not hurt him, it will only feed his needs
Why should I continue to struggle with this beast
He found what he was after his Tuesday morning feast
I stretched my arms above me, a perfectly shaped V
I surrendered my human body
In return for eternity
Thank you for releasing me from my machine
I\'ll meet you in the next life when you won\'t be chasin\' me (x2)

is the "MUAA HAAA HAAA" really necessary every time they play it?
maybe at freakouts only, but every time? common tim...haha
i cringe every time i hear it
-
Keep cringing ,\'cause it ain\'t gonna stop.
-
ive never looked at these lyrics. i can honestly say ive been about 90% wrong on them since hearing it for the first time. wow, i was waaay off.
-
yea, def serly written story
-
The "MUAA HAAA HAAA" sets the stage for the whole story...drama like, you know?

Is that why he does that? I always thought it was because he knew he was about to tear some heads off playing the song.;)

You\'ll change your mind about the "Mwa has" now that Dobs is back on sound. Chad really fucked that part up dave. Just wait. You\'ll shit yourself with an extended "Mwa ha" intro.
:lol:

Quite possibly my fav Breakfast tune.

I\'m sure it was great in person but on disc the jam they decide to dip into instead of going into the " Why should I ......" verse peters out pretty quick in creativity and leaves me thinking it was a nice try but does nothing for me in the way of making it a best ever.
-
I do not think it petered out as far as creativity at ALL. If anything it seems like Matt was ready to REALLY take it out there and Tim decided to real it in and begin restating the theme. That is like no other Chase you can show me, and while that doesn\'t automatically make it better, this version is what makes it better. I am so excited to see them open up(albeit breifly) a song that basically is the same no matter WHAT. The way Tim and Matt dance around the main theme without exactly stating it before the spacey section is very tight. Ron and Ad were in each others heads as far as the lowend goes...keep listening Leith, you\'ll get it.
-
it did seem a lot cooler in person. but i am listened to it on lap top speakers which is obviously a big difference. It probably is still the best ever version just because it is different than every other chase which is always pretty standard until now. there has not been very many insane versions of the chase. saying best chase ever is not like saying best queeb ever. The jam rarely or never goes off the beaten prescribed path.They deffinitly could have played with the divergence a little more but they keep it short and sweet so in that way they stay true to the tune but in a totally new way. I am not gonna relisten to the rest of the show until I can do it on a proper sound system though.

Wow I am floored. Truly for the first time in a looooong time my opinion differed and I DID NOT GET LAMBASTED!
THANK YOU SO MUCH WALSH.
It is like no other Chase yes it really is and yes I thought Matt was about to "recharge" the jam as it was steadily coming to a standstill and yes I am stoked they are looking at stretching out a song that is pretty standard.
However, I like the structure of The Chase. I find it\'s sameness comfortable and look forward to certain "power pieces" where Tim shines in this song. Kind of like how when Trey really hits a composed part of a Phish song?
So for me a Best Ever version would be like the one from 8/30/07 Electric Co.
As I did post though I think it was a nice try as it seemed totally spontaneous and if they can figure out how to insert a jam like this into The Chase I am all for it.
-
I guess we do have a difference there, in the fact that "standard\'-style songs only really stick out to me if there happens to be a miscue. It is the songs known for their jams that really stick in my mind if the composed section is nailed. The pieces that are usually played the same stick out though, when they have a jam thrown in. I really think this was a perfectly executed change and really elevated this Chase, well abouve any other version...no matter how well the composed sections might be in others. Not to mention that the rest of the song(including the transitions into and out of this "new jam section"), seems like it was letter perfect to me.
Hi Leith.
-
good points guys. a step in the right direction, an indication of serness yet to come. bring it!

Hi Leith.
Yeah well like they say, To each his own. We can totally agree though that this is a very unique version of The Chase and can only lead to more experimentation with this song.
Oh and Ron and Adrian are locked in as you said though I thought Adrian kind of rushed it a bit to get back to the main Chase theme. Overall though it is pretty neat no matter how you look at it.
Hi back at ya.

I remember the Freakout Chase being special compared to all 10 or 11 other versions I\'ve seen live. Jammed out more and "Wanna Be Startin Somethin" teases.
I havent listened to Friday\'s yet, though.

Oh yeah that Chase is better to me than the one we are discussing. I totally forgot about that one as it took me about halfway through that song to get over my grumpiness that they were even playing it again (after Toad\'s) after another freakin\' HoneyButter and a Hot for Teacher :vomit:.
I must have blanked it out. It is stellar though and WALSH was not there so I am sure that is why he posted that there is no debate about the one he just witnessed.
-
OMG I Just listened on kickin speaks. this vers owns all. noobs say otherwise. merry christmas eve :)
-
Easy Leith, I have heard said Chase. Tim and the band always throw little teases into songs, that doesn\'t surprise me anymore. Just because I wasn\'t at a show, means nothing. I am very critical when it comes to judging music, especially if I was there. If anything, versions of songs for show I was at get even more of a relisten.

Oh come on you\'re big enough to take a small jab. ;)
I know you want to make that jam your new ringtone.
Peace and Merry Christmas to you and yours Walshie!

Never thought I\'d see Leith and Walsh getting a room!
-
won\'t be the last time
-
I know this has been discussed before but didn\'t they record "The Chase" and "Sundance" during the Real Radio sessions? I would love to hear thoese studio tracks.
-
Dear Chris,
Please learn "The Chase." It would totally be awesomelly stellar cow-phunkufied in-the-house radical if you played the song sometime soon and slapped the shit out of your bass. That is all, thank you.
PS Metropolis kicks ass
-
I have heard a few people mention how bad they want to hear this but it\'s one bust I am not really fiending for at all.
-
what are the chances tim ever tabs this out for us
-
My favorite song. Middle East 11-28-08 was downright spiritual, then getting it again to open up NYE was the shiznitobam!!
