$20 is a lot to see them.  How many people fit in The Fillmore?

Since you\'re hauling all the way up here, I\'ll think about it.


$20 is alot to you. For me I have been waiting for this day to come for them and someday I\'ll pay $20 to see The Breakfast there.
The Fillmore holds 1200 I believe.

What\'s up dudes.  Tea Leaf Green is playing the Five Spot in Atlanta Georgia this Friday, and I will be in attendance.  The last TLG show there was sep. 05 and they played 3 full sets + encore.  Overall it was a solid, enjoyable, high energy, rockin show.  Granted, TLG is not as modern or progressive as the Breakfast, but they have an ultra tight rythym section, great lead guitar, and great vocal/ keys from Trevor Garrod.  My only criticism is the Josh Clark vocal songs like Tequila or Freedom seem to be slapped together like an Aerosmith B-side, but overall I like 90% of their music.

Also in Atlanta: Moe at the Fox Theatre on Saturday.  I\'m going to invest 60$ per seat from a ticket broker who is offering seats in the first 3 rows.  Should be a great music weekend here.

You\'re so stoked TLG and moe. in a weekend? Niiiiice! Yeah TLG is really turning it up these days.
I find it a very nice balance of music w/ all The Breakfast I listen to.

Oh Origen I hope you have tix for the TLG show because it is sold out!

It\'s sold out? Shit.  This can\'t be because of local fans here in ATL.    It\'s because of people from San Fran going on tour with them.  Let\'s face it - TLG needs new fans in the southeast - they do not need their loyal fans down here to get shut out because 9 out of 10 tickets are going to kids who came all the way out here from California.  And I\'ve seen TLG at a club here in ATL where I was virtually the only person there! This is like Leith getting shut out of a Breakfast show at Winstons.

Anyway, I\'ll just try the ole show up early and confront the band as they\'re loading their gear and ask them to put me on the guest list, or show up to the bar at happy hour and hope they let me stay.

Yeah well on the TLG forum there are forum members being shut out. These are folk from out on the east coast not so much from out here. Yet!
 Yes there are Leafers touring but it seems to be people going for a week or so of shows as TLG comes to their area.
My point is def. get there early or you will be one of quite a few I suspect that will be trying the approach you mentioned.

Considering I saw the Chili Peppers w/ The Foo Fighters for $30 a couple years ago, $20 for TLG is a lot.  

TLG is for those who have never seen The Breakfast ;)

I just wasn\'t very inspired by the tunes and it was my perception that there was little differentiation.  

I would never say they aren\'t talented (as others have implied), as I was really digging their jamming.  

Who knows, maybe I\'ll go to another show, enjoy it, then eat my words.    ?

Yeah inflation is a bitch.

 I know plenty of people that would much rather see TLG than The Bfast and these guys have seen PB a few times. They are waaaaaaaay more of an aquired taste than TLG.

I know alot of people that would say the exact same thing abt the Bfast not being inspiring and songs sounding the same. The Breakfast is not known for their lyrics and probably never will be. The big draw for me and other Leafers seems to be our appreciation for songs that tell stories. Songs one can sing along to. Having ripping jams to go with the lyrics is just that much better.

I doubt it. Some get it and some don\'t.

Yeah the thing about the podcasts is they are all SBD versions. The 1st podcast is more rocking than #2. Glad you like it.
Wish you could come out and get down West Coast style w/ The Bfast again.

Tlg/ Moe
« Reply #58 on: March 07, 2006, 01:28:50 pm »
Sorry for the delay but here\'s what went down in ATL:  

I got shut out of TLG.  I guess you were right Leith, I should have bought tickets early, but who can ever predict when a band will make a sudden breakthrough?  And it was sudden - as recently as 2005 I saw TLG in Athens GA along with ten other people.  But then TLG played a minor festival in Atlanta (Terrapin Beer Fest), and their next show, Sept. 05, was nearly packed.  The festival must have did the trick.  Also the 5 spot is a very good venue, with great promoters backing it - they also run the variety playhouse, which is a much bigger venue in ATL, and I guarantee TLG will be playing the variety playhouse next time here.  

Also the Breakfast needs to get in on the 5 spot next time in ATL because this venue is perfect for an up and coming band and the promoters know how to get people in there ( and they also control larger venues so they hold the key to anyone wanting to get big in ATL.)

As for Moe that shit was sick!  Al is definitely in a dead heat with Tim Palmieri as the greates american guitar player on the scene right now.  Al is just a freaking alien.  He went nuts on guitar on multiple occasions, and the show was very jammed out.  It\'s good to see a true jamband make it big, and they are sticking to their jamband roots - they play to their strengths - jamming - rather than their weaknesses.  They do not try to reinvent themselves at the 11th hour, and deny that they\'re a jamband.  Trey could learn alot from Moe, who overall were far superior to Trey\'s last show.

Yeah well I just bought my tickets for The Fillmore Auditorium in SF a venue which holds 1100 just in case.
Believe me even long time fans over on the TLG board are a bit surprised that they are buying Fillmore tix when we just saw them on a special SoCal 3 day run 3 weeks ago in places that hold no more than 500.
