Are there any recordings with Chris on bass available yet? I\'ve got to hear this guy!
-

Too bad a great recording and performance was ruined by a jackass\'s non-stop whistling and screaming up front. Ugh.
-

:out:
-
You?? Screaming yeah Timmy too??

Seriously I tried to turn a good friend onto the show and he just cringed while we were listening due to all the excess chatter,whistling and yelling.
I think I have listened to it twice and each time I stop because it\'s just too annoying.

:doh: sorry chip :shrug:
I\'m pretty sure my voice is only audible during the encore break. But people were enthusiasticly enjoying themselves and the show and to me that\'s a good thing. Keep in mind Sully\'s is a tiny little sardine can of a bar. The mics were right above the crowd. what can you do? I for one am not going to be a shoosher.

I understand it\'s a small place. It sux for me I can\'t listen to this show . It\'s one show no big deal really.
This issue has come up too many times to go over again and when the Breakfast start playing bigger places it should not be a problem at all.

Ya right.
Unless you mean venues with assigned seating. I have been taping for a while now and even in larger venues this is a problem. It is also made more difficult because there aren\'t that many bfast tapers. So there is usually only a single source for each show and if something happens to that recording or that taper happened to be surrounded by jerks then there is no alt. source.

w00h00! that guy def. ruined it for me, except when he kept saying stephengencs!!
-
...too bad some stupid asshole was singing "...Graaaaaandddd Scheeeeeeme of Thinnnnnngs...," had to do that, i suspect it was the same dick who sang the words to Psygn 2 feet from the back of my head as loud as he could and for some reason in Cookie Monster\'s voice. the best part was seeing him carried/dragged into the restaurant area and dropped onto the bench or chairs or whatever it was. now i\'m not perfect, and i\'ve probably acted a fool her and there, but i KNOW i\'ve never been carried out of anywhere...glad i\'m not the only one who feels this way!

It sux that dicks go overboard at shows, but this just made me laugh.

Whistling, screaming= me, me, me, look at me, love me, feed me with attention and adoration, me, me, who cares about the people standing around me, they\'re not me, me, me, i\'m the #1 fan, me, me....
Seriously, wasted or not, some decorum folks. please. k. thx.
-
Totally agree Joe. I yelled "We Love You Breakfast" during a quiet part in TL&TG at the Iron Horse in Oct. and it was entirely heartfelt but everytime I hear it now I am a little embarrassed with myself.
-
So basically all talking and verbal/auditory support for the band should be reserved for the beginning and end of the set and, on a limited basis, between songs as well?
What is this the opera?
Lighten up people.
-
C\'mon man, you know there\'s a hell of a difference between talking to your friend and belligerently/incessantly screaming every 5 seconds.
-
just breakin balls

"I don\'t know. What do you do when a neighbor is making, like, a lot of noise at three o\' clock in the morning? I mean, can you knock on someone\'s door and tell them to keep it down? You\'re really altering your whole self-image, I mean, what am I? Fred Mertz now? What\'s happening to me? Can I do this? Am I a shusher? I used to be a shushee.
There\'s a lot of shushing going on in movie theaters. People are always shushing. Shh..shh.... shhh... shhh.. Doesn\'t work, \'cause nobody knows where a shush is coming from. They just hear a Shh. "Was that a shush? I think somebody just shushed me." Some people you can\'t shush in a movie theater. There\'s always that certain group of people, isn\'t it. They\'re talking and talking, and everyone around them is shushing them, and shushing them. They won\'t shush. They\'re the unshushables."
-Jerry Seinfeld
I feel for ya Leith. I know hearing excessive crowd noise is annoying and I\'m sure that it especially sucks when you you live far away and your only chance to hear the band is usually by listening to the tapes of the shows. but people are gonna be rowdy at breakfast shows cause shit gets intense, and no one wants to be a shusher. Anyways you already know this and I\'m just beating a dead horse at this point. I really just wanted to post that seinfeld quote.

I agree. I haven\'t listened to the tapes, so maybe I am the one who\'s yelling. I typically yell things like "Sweet" "Sick" or "Nasty" after, or during the peak of what I think to be good jams. I always have at every live show of whatever band I\'ve been to and probably always will.
It\'s how I get into the show.
-
i don\'t know how anyone can listen to this show and say that the whistling isn\'t WAY beyond over the top. by the end of the first song it\'s like, "enough is enough"..
-
If anyone needs to be schooled about this just listen to Led Zeppelin live shows.
Plant on many occasions lays it out for the crowd. Basically if your screaming and hooting and hollering you can\'t hear whats going on on stage, and thats what folks in the audience came to hear. And this is in the 70\'s, nothing has changed and people have simply gotten more rude and obnoxious.
People do not have any respect for other people these days. It is all about them and no one is going to tell them any different. Is it really all that hard to have a collective mentality of we want everyone to enjoy the show and I do not need to stand out or become an attention whore ?
Being in the moment and climaxing with the bands jams etc is great, noise and shows of emotion are also great, sing alongs (when appropriate) are awesome, It is just the obnoxious folks that tapers or concert goers in general cant stand.
And usually this stuff is totally avoidable which makes it worse.
My biggest pet peeve at shows: People who want to talk with their friends every fucking second of a show, they talk over the band, usually they are not even facing the stage, they just keep going and going and going and going. I have no problem if you want to talk but why not take that shit to the back of the room ? why not do yourself and everyone around you a favor by being just a tad bit polite and move yourself where you can have a conversation at normal levels without screaming over the music and disrupting everyone who is trying to listen to the music.
Partying and having a blast = cool
Being an obnoxious asshole = not cool
rant over....
-
The thing is, the guy doing the whistling and yelling is oblivious to the music. "It\'s all about me, whoo hoo!!, look how drunk I am, yeah!! I\'m so into the music all I want to hear is myself whistling and screaming non stop, right in Timmy\'s face, god I\'m sooo coooool! Yeah go Timmy!!"
I will be bringing a fly swatter to Daniel St. You have been warned!

1 question, 1 comment...
1. who is/are the people doing this in the recording?
2. when my band used to play in buffalo, some of our fans would actually grab a microphone in the middle of a song and begin yelling/singing/babbling over the PA system
-
1. Some post on this board, others are strangers to me. Either way this shit needs to stop.
-
tim should have a roll of duct tape on stage...when he sees/hears someone doing these types of things, he can call them onstage and duct tape their mouth shut, then send them back into the audience.

one time when i was taping a show for a band that joe sleeper was playing in and some guy wanted to scream into my microphones because he thought it was hooked up to the pa. he tried to take one of the mics off the mic clip and couldnt figure out how to do it because he was so drunk.
i asked him nicely at least 2 times to stop but that just made him want to do it more. he was screaming and yelling and still trying to get the mic off the clip, so i punched him. it turned out he was in the marines or something. he was huuuuge. :lol:
im not sure how i got out of that situation without getting hurt. it got kinda ugly.
