Favorite Line-Up Musically

[leith]

I\'m really loving the current line-up more than anything since Save left.
They don\'t play as often so I was thinking it was just a case of what get I appreciate more but this band listens more and reacts swifter than any line-up prior resulting in some amazing moments more often even in playing the same songs so often.
I have been listening to a lot of \'05/\'06 which I consider to be the height of the band to that point and while they were pulling off some great music,what they do now on the reg is incredible.
How about you all?

wow, that\'s a pretty difficult question. i think chris is better musically than ron was, but (obviously) hasn\'t had the reps/chemistry that ron did. and while i really prefer a lineup with (fulltime) keys, no incarnation was as tight as the trio. considering i wasn\'t really around for the heyday of PB, and the trio never sat well with me (for whatever reasons), i guess i\'ll go with the current group. best musicianship and songwriting they\'ve ever had...even if we don\'t get as many shows as we\'d like.

I think having Chris in the band was the best decision the Breakfast could have made.  He is a very talented bass player and really elevates the musicianship on the rest of the band.  That being said, I think my favorite lineup was the power trio.  As Zuke mentioned, they were incredibly tight.  The combonation of less moving parts and a great chemistry really came across well during that short stretch.  Maybe i\'m biased because that is the period where I saw the most breakfast shows, but I love that lineup.

8.5.06 FTW!!!

I\'d say Tim, Adrian, Chris and Matty was the best line up.

It is cool that this band can have fans of all it\'s different line-ups.
I have dozens of Trio shows on DVD I have never even watched/listened to and maybe I should revisit some of those shows now with some time passed.

My vote will always go to the original line up. It was those guys that started it all.

having said that the current lineup is very close 2nd in my heart. Dangle can really lay it down and having Jordan on keys is always a good thing.

Hard to compare tho as everyone has a lot more time under their belt now then back in 2000/2001 or so. 9 or 10 years of tweaking songs and getting better musically is bound to have an impact on the situation.

Original lineup. Madison 11.11.05 will forever be the dearest show to my heart.

No matter what keys HAVE to be involved to be the best lineup for me, I enjoyed the Trio but struggled without that layer.

And I have never even seen the current situation live. Since Jordan rejoined they havent made it out this way. Actually, last time I saw them was the unlisted Trio of Tim, Adrian & Chris. Cool, but lacking ivory.

Very well said. I couldn\'t agree more.

i\'ve always liked whatever was going on at the time the best. voted for current line up for the record but the original line up is hard to argue against :shrug:
