Title: Obscure Covers TB Can Make Their Own
Post by: Overexjoesure on October 12, 2007, 12:47:40 pm
One of the appealing qualities of The Breakfast were their choices for obscure cover songs. Whether it was Zappa, Funkadelic, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Gong, or Focus, the boys were tapped into an untapped resource of musical wealth. Most bands, especially in the jamband scene, strive on playing redundant covers. During the past several years The Breakfast have been guilty of this. But with the addition of Matt and this new found energy, the Breakfast have reached another golden road of opportunity. In this thread I\'ll be posting obscure covers that The Breakfast can/should make their own. These songs all match up to the energy the band has been putting out recently and I feel many of you will agree with me that the band would absolutely KILL playing them.
So please, discuss....

"Red Alert" by Tony Williams Lifetime http://www.mediafire.com/?9i2mzzdowcq
NOTE: I\'m posting a bunch of Tony Williams Lifetime songs because they fit PERFECTLY with the Breakfast framework. I think after giving a listen many of you will say, "Wait, are you sure this isn\'t the Breakfast?"
BTW Mods: Please don\'t merge this with the covers thread. This is meant to spark discussion and possible campaigning.
"Sweet Revenge" by Tony Williams Lifetime http://www.mediafire.com/?bzmfdzmyfjm
NOTE: This is a SAVE bassline If I\'ve ever heard one!!!!
"For Richard" By Caravan http://www.mediafire.com/?6jbyng7dwml
This would absolutely destroy each room it would be played in.
So anyone listen to any of the songs? What did you guys think?

Tony Williams stuff woudl be interesting, but do we want the band to get a rep as being a jazz fusion band?
Strangely enough, I was thinking about them doing Caravan the other day - have loved that band for over twenty years. I was thinking Golf Girl would be a fun cover. However, For Richard would be epic.

Boombox, I was referring to a cover or two of Tony Williams. I just offered several that were appropiate to choose from. I personally think if the band focused their shift to the progressive/fusion audiences they would make bigger waves. Umphrey\'s has been slowly building from that level up, when it\'s apparrent this is what Tb should be doing. They have the tools for transformation, they just need to use them now!
And thank you for replying to the threads original intention!!! :)

I agree the band has the ability to go down the biscuits route and would no doubt reach different audiences, but I would beware of going too far that way. After all, that is what appears to have caused sci to split and in the same way as bluegrass got sidelined for Nershi, I don\'t think Tim would want to lose the chance to really rock out.
Just my two Euros worth, but you wanted discussion! :)
BTW Check out the new Caravan at the BBC album: The Show Of Our Lives - some excellent versions of their classic material, including For Richard.

I don\'t see Tb going down the livetronica road. Even if they are playing more trance jams, the band doesn\'t have enough of an arsenal to create an authentic electronic synthesis. The beauty of a band like Tb, is they can do whatever they want, and with finesse (for the most part). They CAN insert a huge jam inside any of said posted songs. I mean how badass would it be to hear a Larks Tounges with a jam in the middle? In many ways this is my fantasy thread, but not without haste. The band would KILL each of the songs posted in this thread. It would be unique because NO ONE covers them, and because they can put their own spin on them.
Like I said, go to "Sweet Revenge" and TELL me that the main bassline (which kicks in after a minute or so) isn\'t a Save Spears bassline.
BTW I can\'t think of any other music that rocks harder than fusion or prog.....:) Thanks for the discussion!

I concur. The Tony Williams Lifetime material in particular. Especially now with Matt in the band. After reading his interview in the Breakfast Digest when he mentions bands like Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I certainly think he would be up for it. To my ears, the intro and outro to Spunk is jazz fusion and I think that adding a smoking fusion (or prog) cover to a set would be sick.

ok I didn\'t read this whole thread but...
From conversations I\'ve had with the guys, and seeing them play obscure covers (IE Packard Goose(not super obscure)) the whole idea of covering a song is to play something that everyone immediately knows and react to, not a song no one\'s ever heard of.

Which is a cheap and mundane marketing ploy. The key is to take chances and set examples musically, otherwise people will continue to write them off as a 4th tier bar/jamband. I\'m not trying to compare tb to Phish, but as you know they\'re VERY similar whether they like it or not. Phish on crack so to speak. Do you think they gave a shit about the covers they picked? Everything for the most part was INCREDIBLY obscure. The Breakfast have a chance to really make a name for themselves, and trust me, this would be a sure thing.

So the Breakfast are cheap and mundane? If you think that Phish didn\'t play the game when they where at this level you\'re being naive. Even if so the Breafast are playing in a different time than Phish were. I think they definatley gave a shit what covers they picked. But yeah as you already said The Breakfast are not Phish this is a different time and a different place, that\'s just kinda how it is today they have to play the game.
That being said, you and I have had our diference of opinion before, and I\'ve come to realize neither of us will change that opinion. So continue with your thread....

Post by: Overexjoesure on October 13, 2007, 11:20:26 am
I never said the Breakfast are cheap and mundane, I said playing covers just for the sake of getting attention is cheap and mundane, and NOT artistic. Phish played the game when they were in college, then the second they left for the real world they incorporated incredibly obscure shit and made it their own. Funky Bitch, Ya Mar, yeah, I\'m sure the audiences were well versed in those American standards. I\'m not saying The Breakfast should completly cancel out their "cover selections", but rather intergrate better and obscure ones to make their own, kind of what Phish did.
BTW has anyone else besides Boombox and RickeyRoux even taken a listen to the songs posted? Or is this just a normal run-of-the-mill gang .info gang mentality, lets be argumentative for the sake of being argumentative thread instead of being proactive and positive thread?

No, I posted covers that the band would absolutely rip and fit perfectly into their chemistry. The closed mindedness is baffling... It\'s a big surprise the core fanbase is twentysomething people.
Title: Obscure Covers TB Can Make Their Own
Post by: Vassillios on October 13, 2007, 01:50:46 pm
I have listened to a few of the songs, and here is my humble opinion:
I liked Larks\' Tongues, I definitely think that song would rock and the Breakfast could easily kick the shit out of that song. It would be cool to see that in the middle of a sandwich instead of a jam, considering it is an instrumental. The spacey strings throughout the song would probably be the most difficult thing to produce, Matt would most likely have to whip out some crazy synths or something.
The Tony Williams stuff I thought was cool, but I found Snake Oil to be a little boring and repetitive. If they really wanted to play instrumental covers they would have the find the perfect places for them to fit in the setlist, and too many would get old without hearing any vocals.
Caravan sounds pretty epic. That would be a crazy cover for them to do, but I am just wondering how that would fit into a setlist. It is the type of song that stands on its own, and I can\'t picture them playing a song like Gladys Pimp and then Caravan and then Scheme or something. It would be weird. Maybe as an encore, but then again i don\'t know.
I think the obscure covers are great, and I think some of these songs are good ideas, but why can\'t they do obscure covers of bands that audience members actually know? Like a rare Hendrix song or Zeppelin... they have so many great songs that you don\'t hear on the radio every friggin day. And not just classic rock stuff, but more modern rock... like soundgarden or audioslave or radiohead.... I think it would kill if the played paranoid android.
Their covers now suck, we all know that. I hate Jump. And it seems like they only have a few covers that they play over in over. Honestly, I\'m surprised they are not sick of playing them. When I was in a band, I got fed up playing the same cover over and over, I always wanted to try something new. They are good enough to break out a new cover at every show, and they really should start doing that, at least until they find ones that are good and they like to play. Obscure ones are definitely ideal and probably will be the keepers, but sometimes you gotta reel the audience in with something that they will know. Mix it, keep them guessing, and keep trying new ones.

Post by: Overexjoesure on October 13, 2007, 02:03:45 pm
MVP Vasillios. Thank you for your wonderful post man!! I agree, at this point a healthy mix is the best way to go. As for rare Zeppellin, they would KILL "Ten Years Gone" and "Wearing and Tearing." Problem is there aren\'t many key parts.
With Larks Tounges Matt would definetly be on the strings, but from what I\'ve heard playing with non-traditional key sounds seems to be his forte.
For Richard would definetly be a standalone. Just another epic song added to the awesome aresenal. Some of the Tony Williams stuff is repeitive, as those songs are more or less showcases for Tim, Matt and Ron to strut their stuff.

"Cosmic Strut" by Mahavishnu Orchestra http://www.mediafire.com/?dywoe4x1zjh
I first saw this played by The Mahavishnu Project earlier this year and though the Breakfast could have fun with it. Only problem was they didnt have keys. Matt would do a smash up job using the midi horns. It\'d be a fun tune, and definetly a dance floor scorcher....

Post by: leith on October 13, 2007, 02:46:25 pm
Sorry Joe but Phish did not cover obscure songs because they were obscure. Let\'s take the 2 you mentioned. Funky Bitch written by Son Seals. Covered because Trey digs Son Seals. Ya-Mar by The Mustangs covered because Mike dug the song as a kid. Neither of these were covered because of their obscurity. I could go into many more of their covers but you get it right? Phish covered songs by musicians they dug.
The Breakfast do the same thing as does TLG as does Widespread Panic as does.....
I also think that if any of you think the Breakfast has a poor selection of covers you recheck the PB covers list. It has many covers from the obscure to the very well known. The rotation of covers may be piss poor but this band has a selection of covers that they tear up that many bands would drool over being able to play. They are human. When you have a repertoire of covers and originals as large as they do you tend to forget songs you know.
Someone give them the PB Covers list and let things take their course.
It\'s a matter of time ha listen to me Mr. Patience over here.

Leith I know Phish covered those songs because they liked them. My point is their obscurity didn\'t STOP them from playing them. With The Breakfast it seems they don\'t cover the obscure stuff they want to because they\'re afraid of alienating the locals at the bar.

First of all, I\'m pretty sure you posted pretty much all of those songs in the short-lived Joe\'s Song of the Day thread.
Please no Cosmic Strut. That has got to be one of M.O.\'s cheesiest songs.
For Richard would be killer.
Tony Williams stuff can get pretty boring. It\'s a lot of the same. Some of the songs would, however, work quite well for The Breakfast. I don\'t know how you can say that we would think by listening to T.W. songs that we were listening to The Breakfast. That is just looney-tooney.

Style, tone, instrumentation are very similar in regards to Tony Williams. As for song of the day. I definetly posted For Richard, but I\'m not sure if I posted any Lifetime. Possibly. I sincerely think these songs would be dynamite for the Breakfast.

i think they should focus on matt learning all the breakfast originals before doing anymore covers, obscure or otherwise. then after that I\'d like to see new originals. then maybe some new covers. I don\'t think any of these obscure suggestions are that midnblowing or powerful compositions but i\'d rather hear those than rockin in the free world or jump :vomit2:

Maybe not die completely, but I know what you mean. I agree with klout, let\'s see matt nail all the originals first, then worry about covers.
If they want covers, my vote is to bring back Question and Legend - two of my favourite covers they\'ve ever done and they don\'t sound cheesy - unlike Jump, which I too think is overplayed.
(However, it seems we all agree For Richard would be a good un, so maybe an exception? ;))

miab is so over done at this point as well. It\'s not that good of a song to be even semi regular.
Sir Psycho is way better than one big mob although the lyrics are a little overly graphic.
Call me a custi but I am still down with shakedown and 2001 on a limited basis.
those are still good time party songs for newbs and vets alike to rock out to.
Comfortably numb would be aiite. In the flesh is a SICK way to end a massive set imo.

a sick new breakfast song that was instantly up there with the big boys would be 1000x better than even the gnarliest cover they could come up with. Even a pretty good or decent new original is better than a great cover imo.
I say focus on that and just play the good covers they already have in their arsenal and shelve all the shit ones for a long long time.

a sick new breakfast song that was instantly up there with the big boys would be 1000x better than even the gnarliest cover they could come up with.
I\'m hoping they\'re crafting the masterpiece as we speak. The Grand Scheme for the 21st century (Scheme was written in the 20th).

Klout don\'t make me out-headie you with my 2003 Phish shirts. I laugh at custies wearing 2004 Phish shirts. Then I sell them Stashish, Laxmi-Dhoop, and my winning combo of crushed up No-Doz and Adderall. Got your hash, opium, and ounces of ***** right here. Meet me in the lot pre-show.
But seriously if you\'re gonna request a song, you obv. gotta request that it be heady as well. :lol:
example: "Yoooooo Adriannnn. What up boi. YO, you gonna hook up Tricky Ways tonight or what brah. An I aint talkin\' nonnathat weak slowed down shit. You know, like you used to play it back in the day[/i] --- headily. Don\'t let me down son."
I get \'em every time

Here\'s a novel idea.
- Stop worrying about playing obscure covers. - Let Matt learn all TB originals, whether they\'re shelved or not - Work on trying to produce better vocals (not that Jordan was any great singer, it\'s hard to listen to DMB or Vermont Song)
I thinking instrumentally, they\'re there or close to it. But vocally, they\'re lacking. I might be committing .info suicide, but maybe they should look for a singer - just a thought? :duck:

sticking to semi well known fusion like mahavish or even some classy miles davis woul def be a good move for them. i always thought they should incorporate some jazz into their repetoire since it\'s obviously an influence and most people into the scene can get down. especially since they are such a talented group of musicians, they could totally excel in that category. I think they shoud bust out continuum, a version similar to the one on Trio of Doom, and really let ronnie steal the show for a tune

Who says they need to pick up prog fans. There are few prog bands that I enjoy listening to and I probably wouldn\'t go out of my way to listen to them if they weren\'t readily available. (This is my opinion) Why would I want the band to change their style and move in that direction. I think that they should continue to play THEIR music the way they want to and continue playing the covers they want to, but for god\'s sake, please stop playing Jump, Hot For Teacher (music is great, but overall, not so good) and Jumpin Jack Flash.

For all you "prog rock fans" ya know Porcupine Tree is playing in CT this weekend.
Of course I won\'t be there, even though I like Porcupine Tree, I can\'t be arsed to drive and pay. Now if it was a headydelic jam-band like The Breakfast that would be a different story..
