Intension = good song but way overplayed (almost every show?? or is it every show??)
Josh, thanks for hitting on the point of my post. I was wondering when someone was going to get to it.....I dont understand why people think that if a song gets played in more than one consecutive show that it is overkill. If it is working and getting people into the show, why say "lets not play this tune because we played it last night, or the last 2 nights". To me you are just cutting off your nose to spite your face.....
Not to mention that the jams are never really the same each time, so its really not like playing the same song every night. Intension gets people into the show and they jam the fuck out of it, sometimes taking longer spacey exploratory jams.
Plus I thought it was good to start getting people familiar with your songs. I am not talking about the 60 or so rabid Breakfast fans on this board, but someone who may hit one NYC show one month and then another NYC show the next month, with maybe a Providence show following the second NYC show. Say they hear Intension or Love Lake at the first show, it it was their highlight of the show. Now, the following month, they hit up NYC again, and instead of hearing a Love Lake 1st set opener and Intension in mid-second set, at the second NYC show they get a Intension 1st set closer and a Love Lake encore, they may actually recognize the tunes and grow faster as a fan of the band and whatnot......
I just think that you don\'t fuck with a streak. If songs are obviously being well received by crowds, why not play because you just played them last night or the last time you were at this venue........
And regarding Episode 2 (Mooboo\'s Voodoo), the band is going to play it when they are ready to play it. I am sure that we will all get our Eppy2 in its due time....Personally I would rather hear 3 brand new songs than one epic Eppy2 at this point in time.....
