Two things, Paul, what was wrong with that comment?  And I have no comment on the John Medeski/Matt subject.  That is all.

[Buquebus]

it was funny shit to see mr, ostreicher stretching before the set, getting amped up..
  <<<< no complaints here.
  <<<< convinced there was either a Journey/Styx tease of some sort during the Rufus jam

from jambands.com blurb : "The festival’s final day, Sunday, opened with a unique set of jazz music led by festival promoter Ken Hays brother Kevin, an accomplished pianist whose ensemble featured trumpeter Nicholas Payton, drummer Bill Stewart, bassist Doug Weiss, guitarist Peter Bernstein, vocalist Hilary Smith and saxophonist Joshua Redman. The rest of the day featured an eclectic mix of music, including Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Martin Sexton, the Wailers, the Breakfast and Buddy Guy, who paid tribute to both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix during his performance. Los Lobos closed the weekend with an enjoyable show that nodded to Sublime and Jerry Garcia and explored the group’s own eclectic canon."  any mention is good on this site..

Nice to see that The Breakfast is listed. They were the only one out of that list that played the solar stage.

A wise man once told me that your state of mind at a show is often more important than the state of the music. It\'s hard to be brought to your feet by anything at all after a few days of brain-fry.

Over the years I have realized how little attention people pay to sound quality (in general) and their position in the crowd which drastically changes their \'filter\' for the music. There are times I\'m content staying in one spot, but most often I\'m relentless in finding that glorious window where your ears feel hooked up with every member in the band. It\'s like listening to a shitty recording of Over Exposure in a Chevy Tracker when BAM! you\'re suddenly in the middle of a Bose showroom with Moxie Epoxy\'s version pumping from every felt covered box of magic. That moment when all is heard is like Campbell\'s Soup for an 8-year old on a frozen February evening.

I\'m licking my chops for their Chicago arrival.

i\'d like to nominate for post of the year

i would, but the post implies that Moxie Epoxy and Bose speakers are things that sound good.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA.

I read the BOSE comment and figured I would let it slide

im not savvy in this area, Bose was the first thing that came to mind to get my point across. uhhh, whoops, i guess.

[Spacey]

I was always under the impression Bose was quality but never listened to anything through them or anything. Must have been the commercials that drove it in.

:wah: wait. Moxie Epoxy doesn\'t sound good?

haven\'t you heard, davepeck has taken the stance of shitting on all the breakfast\'s previous ventures.

why\'s that greg, because i have an opinion that is something other than fluff?

and no robyn, i think Moxie Epoxy and Real Radio sound absolutely horrendous (ME moreso than RR). deal with it.

[davepeck]

and for the record, the sound of the albums has nothing to do with the breakfast themselves (with the exception of their choice of a producer)... the playing (THEIR part) is exceptional.

hey, you\'re free to have your opinions, i\'m not gonna disagree w/ them.  but i know this isn\'t the first time i\'ve seen you mention this.  along w/ your multiple times comparing the shows scheduled for this summer against the shows cancelled.  it just seems to me that you get a kick out of degrading the efforts of the band who\'s fan website you manage.

i\'m not gonna bother getting into your knowledge of superior sound technology, cuz thats neither here nor there.  i just assumed a setlist thread from a band who is debuting a new member is a time to discuss the future of the breakfast and our excitement for it, and not dwell on the things in the past that we think could\'ve been a little bit better.

[davepeck]

well, i\'m a fan of the band. an opinionated one, at that. when things are bad, i\'m gonna say they\'re bad. and when things are good, i\'m gonna say they\'re good (even when NO ONE else agrees with me).. i have stated numerous times that things are starting to look up now. i was simply cracking an obvious joke (which luckily, one person seemed to get)..

[Igziabeher]

its all good.
