[Rujah]

judging from this little doozie. i\'d be surprised if the Breakfast were invited back to play moe.down not to mentioned they tend to have different bands each year.

[crimsonknuckles]

im confused as to why everytime any little set comes out on .info people praise it no matter what it is really.  not to be a downer, but to me, that set looks terrible w/ maybe 1 or 2 high points.  i\'m sure they played well, but i feel like they could have chosen better tunes to represent themself at a moe. opener

[bdfreetuna]

Too bad every show can\'t be

Rufus > Psygn > Puppetry > Buquebus > Gladys > Son of Simpleton

Well to be honest I usually end up scratching my head a little bit after I see Breakfast\'s festival setlists. And after seeing them play a couple festies it\'s part of the reason I rarely make it out to festivals anymore. But I\'ll be going to NuGroove because I think they\'ll be getting a good time slot so they won\'t have to pick out 45 minutes of material to represent them.... they can play a SER show Stone Church style.

Personally I\'d say Surreal Radio and Intension are both a little young to bust out for a Moe opener.... no doubt these songs will be better in a year or so. Mooboos is an excellent pick though... if the rest of the show was well played (most likely was) that could have tied this short set together to make it very memorable for the audience.

Since I wasn\'t there I\'m just typing out of my arse of course

I can understand your point but in this case I believe the set was well selected.

Surreal Radio>Intension
2 of their strongest new songs that are more mainstream oriented, contain memorable riffs, and have catchy choruses. Kind of perfect to introduce the band to new fans.

Mooboo\'s>ATSD>Honey Butter
Mooboo\'s is one of the most beautiful songs ever written by any band and the segue into ATSD must have caught some people\'s attention and then right into Honey Butter another strong new song w/ a catchy chorus.

Mooboo\'s was out of place last night. They could of chosen a better tune in that place. Not too many people getting down but a lot of praise coming from moe. and the NMAS.

Decent show nothing special.

i think that\'s a great setlist, given the time constraints. like leith said, open with two catchy but powerful new tunes, drop a serious tune for the meat of the set, kick in a little more power at the end of that and finish it up with the arena rocker honeybutter. they like their new tunes, the new tunes are most indicative of where they\'re at right now as a band, the album is being worked on so introduce folks to those tunes, and hey, at least there wasn\'t a tricky ways, right?! (even though i like it, i know a lot of y\'all think its not worthy)

setlist construction-wise, it looked pretty smart to me.

[Spacey]

trust me when I say, Mooboo\'s was out of place. It just wasn\'t the right song for the situation. Played well, yes but didn\'t fit the situation. It was played because they were not going to play Buquebus or Rufus and had to come out with a heavy hitter.

The new tunes hit the spot perfectly though. Still a very solid set.

[oldnewbie]

spacey is right. the set was great. the two openers were solid and well done. attraction was sickness and honey butter worked great as a closer. it left that wanting more feeling. mooboo\'s was, on the other hand, not the right song at the right time. it was well played and the bfam all liked it, but it was still light (sunny) out with a fairly small crowd, all trickling in after a big rainstorm right before the show. it just wasn\'t the right fit. many other choices would have been better IMO. that said, their the band and you gotta love when bands take chances. NMAS and moe. certainly both gave them big props on several occasions. luther dickinson was the best guitar player on that stage last night and his comment was that he\'d been humbled by tim. i\'m sure he was being nice, but it was a very nice thing to say. you all know how i feel about moe., so you have to admit, it takes a lot of confidence to hire TWO bands with better guitar players than yours as openers. with moe., it\'s never been about who\'s the "best". it\'s always been about the team effort and the overall result. gencs said it best last night...."they throw a hell of a party". btw......moe.\'s set was awesome!!!

[Spacey]

good time with moe. last night and they certainly do know how to party!
