Of course it was not recorded. Bummer folks because this is a great example of knowing your audience AND fitting a schedule.
WUIAC>FP as i have mentioned FP has huge potential for mass appeal.
Rufus>TW reggae flavor coupled w/ a bluesy (read easy to digest) jam
Late>Over>Chase well come ON! Reggae flavor in Overexposure and a pow ending w/ The Chase!
WOW!

it\'s a long shot, but i\'m hoping the taper that i hooked up with the $30 guest-list slot to the sold out show took the initiative to stealth it, when he got to the door and found out open taping wasn\'t going to be allowed.. ;) not getting my hopes up though..

the show last night was fucking sick.. the band was so tight. sold out crowd, place was packed to the t. first off, the music: i thought WUIAC was a great opener to loosen up. with a crowd that big and a venue that sick they had to be nervous, but they settled down immediately with WUIAC. Future Peek was really cool. i think the song has a nice chill vibe, the melody is a bit obvious but it still feels good. the jam rocked the fucking place, well at least some were rocked (ill comment on that later). huge peak in FP. Then Rufus. you knew it was coming, i wasnt sure when in the set. most people kind of bobbed around for the intro until the reggae groove dropped, and the place was definitely feeling it. best moment for the crowd all night was the first verse from Rufus. it got loud for a little while and the huge crowd was finally moving collectively. Rufus jam = :jawdrop: :drool: they absolutely tore it up, felt like they were beating the shit out of their instruments. sooo much energy and perfect transition into the slower jam at the end. the segue into.. Tricky Ways was absolutely fitting for the HOB. honestly i didnt care for the song first time i heard it on Thursday night, but they ripped it up last night. it was great and most of the crowd seemed to enjoy the vibe during it. i like the song a lot now, it makes for solid switches and diversity in sets for the future. The Late And The Great > Over Exposure was my highlight of the evening. beautiful jam in tLaTG, and a smooth seg into OE after the explosion at the end. ive been jonesin for a live Over Exposure and it did NOT let down. this song is a goddamn beast. Ellis-D was absolute $$$ on lights. great moment was when tim busted out his rant (i guess its about Blubladan and the drug or whatever the song is about) and Ellis was on cue dropping a spotlight on him with a black backdrop, and then just throwin colors around during the dance groove. the song just owned me. The Chase was typical, i thought it made sense cuz the song is easier to grasp for noobs.
just one comment about the crowd, Large in numbers and Small by nature. there were a handful of people gettin down but for the most part people seemed confused. Gavin said he heard a few people yelling "too many notes". I heard there were 1200 people in the sold out show, and ONE person bought a cd from Gavin. we had to vent for awhile over the issue.
Jordan was still ecstatic about the feeling he got playing on a stage like that with a pool of heads under lights and their music. the sound was phenomenal too. i was in front of a huge cabinet of speakers Sequoia side, so everything sounded fantastic. i think Gencs said he thought the guitar couldve been turned up. but shit, it was a special night for me. running up the stairs of my favorite venue and hearing WUIAC blaring from the stage was quite a feeling. i just wish more people understood the music. i guess thats what you get when you open for a crowd there for some laid back reggae.

Last night was great. I missed WUIAC because I got stopped at the door and had to check my camera in (they wouldn\'t allow taping OR cameras...bitches). I ran my way in and squeezed to the front rail right between Tim and Ron. I was getting down with some friends, but I could tell that some people weren\'t digging it. I just kept dancing my ass off. Gencs found me in the crowd and I got my first real sweaty-Gencs hug (gross, but I love the kid). Got a chance to meet Gordo, too.
The lights were spectacular - Greg didn\'t spare any expense when it came to using the HOB\'s light board to its full potential. He caught nuances and peaks like nobody\'s business and it really added to the big-show feel. Everyone played their hearts out. Tim said he was weirded out at first because he had so much room to move onstage (when usually he has to play in a tiny square), but he totally rocked out after he got comfy with the hugeness.
Gencs and I got some people to sign up for the mailing list, but I think all the rastas were a little overwhelmed. They were ready to chill to some reggae and got their faces melted off instead and didn\'t know what to do. :) I think after all was said and done, the entire band/crew was in a good mood and then everyone went out and had fun. Latenight was spent at the bars downtown until past 4, it was a great time.

Stevie is being good, actually. We didn\'t lose him last night, thank God (downtown Chicago). He bought some doses off of a friend of mine, he was going to take 2 and my friends that were already tripping from the same sheet were like NOOOO BAD IDEA! We convinced him to only take one, and it\'s a DAMN good thing cause he was feeling mighty fine...anyway, he wouldn\'t stop playing with my hair last night and commenting on how long it is. He came up with "Indiana Corn Silk" and we all couldn\'t stop laughing :)
That kid is having the time of his life right now, and I had SO much fun with him this week. I LOVE YOU GENCS, even if you smothered me in sweat last night! :D
I think a few PTers are going to the Cabooze tonight, I\'ll have to get back with them to do a review (can\'t remember if Gordo\'s going or not).

Imagine that. A crowd not there for The Breakfast confused by the music emanating from the stage. Too Many notes. :lol: And people wonder why I think it SO important for Tim to chill in his playing sometimes. For The Breakfast crowd he can do what ever he wants and most eat it up, the masses that have no clue abt The Breakfast and their style can be overwhelmed within the first few measures of most Bfast songs.
Oh well it sounds like a great gig anyway.

lieth, just cause the masses might not "get" the band, i don\'t think that means tim should "chill". i don\'t really think that is the answer to all the breakfast\'s problems. if the breakfast started sounding more like tlg i would be pissed. should they change their sound to appeal to the masses? i hope they dont have to.

Well even Tim knows he needs to "chill" every once and awhile and that is a reason he is ACTIVELY seeking how he can do that in his style of playing. As for being the answer to all their prbblems I never said it was and don\'t worry The Bfast will NEVER sound like TLG. Thank goodness for that.
Oh and if you have not noticed the Breakfast sound may not have changed but the songwriting has and most of the songs being debuted are WAAYY more appealing to the "masses".
Also there is a difference in playing for a crowd not there to see you and a crowd there devoted to you. I thought the setlist was perfect for the audience and was surprised @ reports of folks not getting it.
Thank God the guys knew better than to play a Buquebus in front of that crowd.

well, i do like most all the new songs, good things is f\'n great and i think that is one of their more poppy songs, i just don\'t want to see all of their new material going in that direction. also, i think a buquebus is pretty much always a crowd pleaser. keep it intense-balls-to-the-wall. the rastas cant be that stoned to appreciate good music. and lieth i\'m not trying to talk shit right now, i\'m just doin a little drinkin\' and postin\'.

I remember when they played at the House of Blues in cambridge they had this same policy, I snuck in a ghetto mic and had it set on a table on the side they saw it and booted me, I got bavk in but it was a bummer none the less. in that sense HOB def sucks......

I\'m surprised that HOB does not offer recordings for a fee.
I have a Tenacious D dvd from HOB in LA but I think the camera owner got the light board operator to shoot it from a stand by his board.
I think the band did a good job of tailoring the setlist to the crowd. If you get too extreme making it audience-friendly then you are going to piss off the converts when they go to a "real" show and find a band they don\'t recognize.

I think Tim should play as many notes as he possibly can.
First time I saw Breakfast the only song that really stuck out in my memory was Gladys Pimp. So I guess some people can handle lots of notes.. and they might turn out to be some of the bands more dedicated followers.
I also get just as stoned as any rasta can and can handle my 16th notes ;)
Something about the suggestion that Breakfast should start catering/dumbing-down their music to appeal to the masses just fucks with my head. Breakfast will never be a band for the masses as long as David Gray keeps bustin out hits. Screw the masses anyway, we all know we have superior taste in music.
There are plenty more potential Breakfast fans to be found. To me it sounds like an insult to say "oh this song must have been written for the south/midwest/whatever" or "tim should chill out in his playing so new fans aren\'t confused why there are so many notes"... forget it man-- upward and onward!

I have no idea where you read a suggestion The Breakfast should start catering/dumbing down their music . It seems to me you have read insult into some posts.
The fact is Tim has SAID he is trying to learn how to "chill" in his playing in SPOTS. It does not mean he is trying to change his playing at all but rather GROWING as a guitarist and learning how to take more advantage of the space BETWEEN all of those notes.
I guess the accessibility of some of the newer songs is just coincedence huh?

I\'ve got to dissagree with some of you here. I can understand trying to make it with the main stream, and if it is something the band is trying to do that is fine. However, Imagine any of these situations:
"Hey Beatles, this rock and roll thing is on it\'s way out and no one likes it - the people who like you are just a couple of kids that won\'t amount to anything. Try some polkas if you really want to make it. That\'s what people like these days." "Hey Grateful Dead, no one likes this long jamming thing. Play some 3 minute pop music or you\'ll never get anywhere." "Hey Nirvana, I can\'t understand your lyrics. Also, your gutarist sucks. Play some real music, like the album RATT just put out. Now that\'s a good band." "Hey Metallica, your too fast. If you want people to listen to you, slow down." "Hey Breakfast, your too fast. If you want people to listen to you, slow down."

Beatles were a POP band before they got heady.
Grateful Dead is the only band in this list that proves your point
Nirvana had almost overnight success and were very marketable to the era. grunge was becoming the \'in\' thing in the early 90\'s. If cobain hadn\'t killed himself they would have faded into obscurity.
Metallica. basically sold out to become mega-superstars. Ride the lightening, Killem all, Master of Puppets, all were strictly geared for metal heads. the black album and everything since geared towards MTV crowd with a hint of metal

What theory would that be?
I was commenting on frankzappa\'s post about going mainstream and the bands he mentioned.
The beatles were a pop band before they went off on the musical exploration they are known for today.
Nirvana might have been pioneers of grunge but they had "mainstream" success very quickly.
Metallica had mainstream success with albums like the \'black\' album etc etc it took them longer to break through probably because it was metal. Metal was huge in the late 80\'s and then focus changed to grunge then to hiphop where it has basically stayed with the exceptions of booty shaking half shirt wearing hotties
Grateful Dead were never successful in the mainstream. They were the highest grossing tour almost every year but \'mainstream\' america didn\'t have anytHing to do with that.
If you want to discuss wether they were pioneers of their genres it might hold more weight but the Grateful Dead were/are an extension of Americana, of old blue grass standards of delta blues and etc etc. There business model and ways of doing things were pioneering. The technical leaps that the industry took and technologies invented can be directly attributed to the Grateful Dead and their crew. So in that respect they were pioneers
Metallica specifically james Hetfield basically sings identical to Glenn Danzig. that \'ahhhra\' at the end of everything he sings is Glenn Danzig. I love Metallica. Probably in the top 5 bands I have seen live. They bring it for sure. (this was in 1992)
I was commenting on "mainstream" success

Post by: derickw on May 01, 2006, 04:09:35 pm
i guess they weren\'t theories just the analogize used. though the Beatles were pop they brought it to a whole new level as far as the business aspect of it goes before they went off, i think since they were so popular/ successful it kind of gave them the leeway to try something different. Nirvana brought metal to whole new level feeding the American youths desire to rebel and creating a counter culture revolved around those beliefs. I was never really into Danzig so i can\'t comment on the chicken or the egg portion of that, but i was into Metallica who i feel opened metal up and brought it to a whole new level right up until they sold out on the Black album. and the Grateful Dead well.... they might have been a blend of a bunch of different genres but they created there own from that blend. i think these bands all came from a particular genera but by being different and concentrating on doing there own thing and not listening to the Billboard top 50 expanded and created there own genre.
all in all i think we are saying the same thing but got to the point by different means.

The Breakfast is by far my favorite band. I\'d love to see Tim slow down some more, draw out notes a little more often. dont get me wrong, his runs are absolutely sick and no doubt what separates him, but id have no problems waiting just a little longer for those back-breaking moments. theyd have more substance in the long run, instead of being one in a billion.
at the same time, who gives a fuck.. there are four reasons they rock my nuts off, and the guitar is one. as long as they stay together and keep loving music, ill be there loving their music.

I\'m happy to say that each of those bands has dominated my cd collection at some point in time.

I: Wake Up In A Coma > Future Peek, Rufus > Tricky Ways, The Late And The Great > Over Exposure > The Chase Opened for The Wailers.
the show last night was fucking sick.. the band was so tight. sold out crowd, place was packed to the t. first off, the music: i thought WUIAC was a great opener to loosen up. with a crowd that big and a venue that sick they had to be nervous, but they settled down immediately with WUIAC. Future Peek was really cool. i think the song has a nice chill vibe, the melody is a bit obvious but it still feels good. the jam rocked the fucking place, well at least some were rocked (ill comment on that later). huge peak in FP. Then Rufus. you knew it was coming, i wasnt sure when in the set. most people kind of bobbed around for the intro until the reggae groove dropped, and the place was definitely feeling it. best moment for the crowd all night was the first verse from Rufus. it got loud for a little while and the huge crowd was finally moving collectively. Rufus jam = :jawdrop: :drool: they absolutely tore it up, felt like they were beating the shit out of their instruments. sooo much energy and perfect transition into the slower jam at the end. the segue into.. Tricky Ways was absolutely fitting for the HOB. honestly i didnt care for the song first time i heard it on Thursday night, but they ripped it up last night. it was great and most of the crowd seemed to enjoy the vibe during it. i like the song a lot now, it makes for solid switches and diversity in sets for the future. The Late And The Great > Over Exposure was my highlight of the evening. beautiful jam in tLaTG, and a smooth seg into OE after the explosion at the end. ive been jonesin for a live Over Exposure and it did NOT let down. this song is a goddamn beast. Ellis-D was absolute $$$ on lights. great moment was when tim busted out his rant (i guess its about Blubladan and the drug or whatever the song is about) and Ellis was on cue dropping a spotlight on him with a black backdrop, and then just throwin colors around during the dance groove. the song just owned me. The Chase was typical, i thought it made sense cuz the song is easier to grasp for noobs.
just one comment about the crowd, Large in numbers and Small by nature. there were a handful of people gettin down but for the most part people seemed confused. Gavin said he heard a few people yelling "too many notes". I heard there were 1200 people in the sold out show, and ONE person bought a cd from Gavin. we had to vent for awhile over the issue.
Jordan was still ecstatic about the feeling he got playing on a stage like that with a pool of heads under lights and their music. the sound was phenomenal too. i was in front of a huge cabinet of speakers Sequoia side, so everything sounded fantastic. i think Gencs said he thought the guitar couldve been turned up. but shit, it was a special night for me. running up the stairs of my favorite venue and hearing WUIAC blaring from the stage was quite a feeling. i just wish more people understood the music. i guess thats what you get when you open for a crowd there for some laid back reggae.
This was so long ago I decided to give you guys some of the back story of the thread. I have been sitting on this video for ever know and have always meant to put it up. This show was definitely special and I can only assume was one of the breakfasts biggest to date. I filmed a little bit of Over Exposure and thought ya\'ll might like seeing it.
You gottsta enjoy seeing these guys on a big stage playing in front of that iconic House of Blues Logo:bansplit::brocban::bansplit:
