Setlist: 2007-04-06 - Toad\'s Place; New Haven, CT

[Ren]

Why does there always have to be some negative fuck?  I swear to god, its fuckin\' ridiculous.  I\'ve been seeing live music for like 15 years and have a really good ear for detail, and unless you were standing right next to the speaker or drums I can\'t see how it sounded muddy, whatever the fuck that means.  If you are looking for slower paced Pychedelic Breakfast then listen to something old, the music has changed some ways for the better, some ways not, but to say it sounds like garbage is a little harsh, I\'m not a big fan of the chase without Jordan, and DocEllis my boy, you hit it on the head w/ Tim\'s vocals but whatever, the fuckin zones they get in during songs like puppetry and buquebus are fuckin great hot and TLATG>OE sounded as good as I\'ve heard it.  But, hey we all have our muscial preferences and opinions so I guess I have to respect that.  Garbage?

actually, i\'m not sure how i missed this last night, but listening back, i can hear that tim was teasing Only Happy When It Rains and Stupid Girl at several points in the show. i believe this is what rcoster was referring to..

[Me!]

I find myself getting lost amongst the music at shows alot of times, having it just kinda wash over me, but last night I was tuned in all night, the guys grabbed me and didn\'t let go, great show looking forward to tonight.

Caitlin\'s Dad here...Awesome show last night...the trance/techno grooves were great and overall the playing was amazing as usual....but even better.  This is about my 8th Breakfast show (not a long history) I saw a few with keys and now the 3 piece.  To me this was the best 3 piece show I\'ve been to.  Ron and Adrian were ONE....and Tim was taking it to new places last night.  

As far as GARABAGE.....where were you standing?   I moved around a lot and there are spots in Toad\'s that sound better then others...actually that\'s true of all venues....so if you found a "dead" spot it\'s your own fault for not moving to a place better for you ears.  And...can you really blame the band for the sound of the room???  The music was full of energy and it stayed that way all night.

Ellis..great job on lights.....Even though the smoke got a little heavy at times (Steve..lol) it fit the "rave" mood and theme of the night.  Looking forward to Ken\'s DVD and /or the BT.

See you at a show soon.

/\\/\\/\\ Exactly.  If you don\'t move around until you find your "sweet spot", well then it\'s just your own stupid fault.

Thanks to the guys for making it a GREAT 40th show for me.  The Toad\'s shows are always special for me, and I\'m pretty vocal about my preference for the newer harder songs, so I really couldn\'t have asked for anything more.  

No wait, that\'s not true.  I would have liked to see better attendence.  This is really directed at the new management. (I know he just started) But for the future a coordinated promotional effort announced on this board is highly necessary.
It\'s the Tower of Babel around here sometimes, and good intentions are lost by everyone moving in a different direction.  A little official leadership of "Okay this is straight from the band- here\'s what we\'re gonna do, you with us or against us" would go a long way.  

The music still rocks.

i say we castrate/murder rory rcoster!!!!!!

[sallyalli]

buquebus had a few good moments, but mostly noise

good things was good because you could actually hear the notes that were being played

other than that, the only reason i can "hear" the rest of the songs is because i already know how they are supposed to go

if i had never heard any breakfast songs before, they would all sound like the same sloppy noisefest

<<< feels frustrated


(i left for the 2nd set btw, which i never ever thought i would ever do, but here we are)

uhhhh... i hate the breakfast too. they make me do bad in work and school
-face

[rcoster38]

sorry to knock em so hard, cause i know that all 3 of them are ridiculous musicians and ive been diggin them for 2 and a half years now (30-35 shows or so)

that being said, i just cant get off to them the way things are right now.  too often i find myself having to listen extra hard, sifting through the noise to hear whats goin on/what tim is actually playing

if tim had a talented keys player to help him make the background sound a little clearer, then two things would happen:

1- you would be able to hear what everyone is playing much more clearly

2- timmy could focus on his nasty geetar skills and play some mindblowing stuff

im sorry if the "garbage" part threw people off, but the past couple of shows ive been two have really frustrated me and last night/this morning it spilled over.  i just feel like the problem and the solution are both blatantly obvious (KEYS) yet lots of people dont feel the same way

[WALSH]

Last night made me realize why I see this band so much.  It also cemented to me for the final time that they never need a keys player again.  \'Queeb was definitely from "outerspace" and the fog was a great cover to puff-tough and really get out-there with my boy from Blubladan(Thanks Wah).  Puppetry was very good, it was the first one in a while that really grabbed my attention .  L&tG->OE was a MONSTER.  It was just too bad that the crowd had thinned by then, alot of the energy was gone from the room.  

The Albany show and Toad\'s have me so excited for this band again.  I cannot wait for the PA run.  Go Breakfast.

[Mark]

Ladies and Gentlemen: Without a doubt, the greatest band of all time. I knew when it started with the Jam> it was going to get ser mighty quick and boy did it!

[peaches626]

i feel like it should be noted that ron spears vocals were especially top notch, and for the first time in a while i feel like he was in the drivers seat during many jams... specifically overexposure if i remember correctly....

ron spears = uberheady

[DocEllis70]

he was definatley keepin me locked in during Hardluck.. it sounded great from the skybox area.

[Jim Cobb]

wish i coulda been there.  it\'s been a while since i made the trek up to noo haven.
