Stella Blues; New Haven, CT (Week 4)

[Igziabeher]

you don\'t think i would enjoy watching it as well as i have the past two weeks?  i most definitely would.  but i know the venue is far from ideal from doing it from the band\'s standpoint.  there\'s barely enough room on the stage for the 4 of them as it is.  i\'m willing to sacrifice my selfish reasonings for the people that do make it to the show as it would be most ideal to have the band be as comfortable as possible to play for the people in attendance.

Maybe that\'ll work out for the better?

something is always better then nothing at all! it would be awful (as ive said before) if these shows aren\'t at the very least archived in an audio format... they are playing really well!

Matt and Ken are very reliable as is the equipment they use. Other tapers such as tuna are not.

I\'m about as reliable as a 1998 Subaru Forester with 208134 miles, with a tendency to get a bit too drunk or too stoned to remember which button to press.

I won\'t be smoking or drinking much tonight since I have a cold. Maybe that\'ll work out for the better?

Maybe Ken and Matt will go ahead and make the sacrifice to webcast the show as the band really has no problem with it per our FB conversation just moments ago.

i have to say to some people on this board, i don\'t know whether you are friends, fans, or enemies. really.

consider yourselves lucky to get to listen to music that you enjoy. i consider myself lucky to make music with the breakfast. consider yourselves lucky to sit down at your computer and watch a band play live across the country.

also consider yourselves lucky we don\'t come to your place of work, critique everything, bitch and moan, and insult you while saying we are supportive.

consider all points of view other than your own.

be considerate.

thanks matt and ken for all the work you have done for us.

and for the haters, goooooooo fuuuuuuuck yooooouuuuuurseeeeeeelllllllvvvvvveeeeessssss.

now back to my hobby.

p.s. 4th week after party in New Haven. ask me for details.

peace

Well seeing as this was never actually the problem rather a misunderstanding between Matt/Ken and the Band sacrificing your selfish reasonings isn\'t necessary but thanks.

Exactly. Getting a LIVE webcast is a privilege, not a right. It\'s been a totally free service.. way above and beyond what any band does, without asking for anything in return. Expecting one every single show is just absurd.

I do think that the shows should be taped/archived. I love listening back and revisiting old shows. Hell, the LMA is what really got me into The Breakfast in the first place. That said - it\'s also a privilege and people come off as really entitled and whiny when they call the band "stupid" for not wanting cameras in their face. I can respect that. I hope that a recording will be allowed.

Just my two cents. I know I\'m not a vet, but I love and appreciate the band and hope everyone is just happy and thankful they\'re playing. Hope to see you all tonight.

Nice you feel that way know how about you sit down and reread the whole thread and a couple other ones also.
First no one ever said it was expected every show and the POINT WAS MADE THAT THE ENTIRE RESIDENCY WOULD BE WEBCAST so yeah expecting a webcast that was announced waaaay in advance is totally understandable.

Second,THE BAND NEVER SAID THE CAMERAS WERE DISTRACTING IN ANY WAY BUT JOKING SO yeah they would be stupid to not allow a webcast for such a poor reason. THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS AND CAN DO THEIR JOB WITH PEOPLE RECORDING THEM.
So it\'s nice you have such respect for the band but fuck you if you want to insinuate I do not.

I know enough to have read some of your snide remarks both on here and on Facebook. I\'m sorry you\'re such an angry person.

My understanding was that initially there was some level of uncertainty about web casting shows in general, due to time, commitment, money (?), etc. Yes, it was announced all 4 shows would be streamed. Perhaps things have changed and there are other factors.

Either way, I still stand by my point that it\'s a privilege. Translation: no one owes you shit, pal.

I\'m angry when self righteous fools like you try and bash me for something I didn\'t do or say.
 NO ONE EVER SAID THEY WERE ENTITLED TO WEBCASTS and the fact is the band did stand by their allowance of webcasts and guess what there will be a webcast because it was all a misunderstanding. So take your self righteous attitude and stick it.
Oh and I\'m not your pal buddy.
P.S. without my "snide" remarks the band would have never known there was a misunderstanding and the webcasts would still be verbotten for no good reason.
