:wah: Lacking in heady jams? Most of the show was pretty heavy and fast.
That\'s what I mean. I love some music thats heavy and fast but IMO this just ain\'t PBs forte.
A nice well developed Tribal Funk jam or an emotional Mooboo or a spaced out SeeTheLight .. thats what Breakfast does best. Or a Puppetry that rages out but only in the last few minutes.
Any headiness that was about to occur in Gravity, etc was wiped out with the introduction of guitar-and-keys playing the same notes, hammer-ons-and-offs back and forth mostly. To me there\'s no melody in this, and it doesn\'t sound cool. Every time Tim does this I can\'t help but think how frickin\' good he could be playing if he forgot about those keys and just played some sweet guitar. I firmly believe now that Breakfast needs a keyboard player.
I thought it was strange when Tim called the band the "whatever experiment" or something like that last night after introducing Adrian and Ron.
Scheme Pt 2 was heady, definitely. And Surreal was absolutely nailed, best I\'ve seen.
Yet this trend from tasteful / heady / trippy to ----> rockin\' / fingertappin\' / partymusik is definitely one reason I haven\'t been making much effort to get to shows outside my hometown lately. I used to be totally mesmerized by their music, the tasteful development of the songs, the ambiance. Lately it seems like they just wanna put on ragin\' rock shows.
That\'s cool but not my cup of shroomy tea.
sorry I don\'t mean to be negative, I tend to ramble on about stuff and honestly I\'m so glad to read these great reviews of this show most of you put up here.
