Not really. Just because he plays a theme longer on the keys does not make it better.
Thats not at all what I\'m talkin about. What I meant is the last few shows he\'s been much lighter on the keys. Aka using them less and more guitar. And the spots he has been using the keys have been a lot more tasteful.
Basically what it sounds to me like you wanted.

Have you heard Great Big Flaming Bollux from the last Providence(CenturyLounge) show yet? If not listen to that beautiful bean footage and tell me that\'s not some of the best Breakfast to date.

I have heard the GBFBITS from the Century Lounge. It is great, a bit truncated for my tastes(but what Fiery Ball Jam isn\'t?) The drop into Future Peek is ahniice but I think the keys in the jam are not particularly above avg for Tim\'s playing. I agree he is getting the layering closer to melding w/ the music more instead of standing out so much but has a rather long way to go.
f*ck it, I might as well just kick back and enjoy the good ride 
:that:
To each their own, and it sucks for you guys that "don\'t get excited" about the band anymore, I certainly still get very excited about shows, and The Saint was just a further affirmation of this, and with that
**** this thread
in the words of Doug: I\'m outta heeeeeeeeeere.
i\'m completely with jill on this. i would be lying if i said that i haven\'t lost some interest since jordan left. as much as there is still excitement for me going to shows, i really miss hearing keys and do feel that something is missing. i\'m definitely along for "the ride." i just don\'t see how long that ride will last without keys in the mix.
both versions of The Breakfast are great, i still get more excited for them coming to town than any other band. but that doesnt mean im downloading shows like i used to and listening to them 24/7 anymore. sure if they never had a keyboardist and i saw them tomorrow for the first time id be blown away, but knowing what they sounded like with the keys makes hearing them now so much less exciting. especially when youre filling in the texture of the organ in your head. it\'s especially distracting without jordan\'s organ.
:hscratch: Jordo sit-in on 12/23?
Hmmmm........ :shrug:

I\'m pretty much in the same camp as Gordo: just as excited to see and travel for The Breakfast as always, but would prefer the re-introduction of full-time keys.
I think y\'all are crazy. 3 piece breakfast has been what this band always needed in my mind. i think the first time i saw Tim and Adrian do a drums and guitar show and realized how badass just the two of them were was an eye opener. throwing ron into the mix makes it the perfect combination to me w/o too many chefs in the mix making a muddy soup.

Its crazy...but I cannot take the Daniel St. 8-12-06 Dick 2 out of my cd player...I am going through a brief period of the STAR WARS freakout....{I thought of this today...if I was getting married I would hire the Breakfast to be the band (at what ever cost) and have them play some of the STAR WARS songs.....out of all the crazy shows Ive been to...ie..phish halloween, phish "darkside of the moon" in Utah...to being in the "Bittersweat Motel" movie.....I TRULY WISH I was at that Freakout!!!!!}.....so I support the Breakfast with whomever is in the band! But I also miss Jordan...I guess its all bittersweat :biggrin:

Ohhh, I thought that was you in the tent @ Great Went...
"some chicks roll up in Vee Dubs, and their pits aren\'t shaved, but, whatever, we\'re all here to party and drink beers, its not like its their choice.... *pssssshhhhhhh!!!* this is how you shotgun a beer... yeah theres swhwag and theres kind bud, kind buds got no seeds and its got more tetrahydacannanobidole the
**** that gets you high.. REPRESENT BOIIIII"
Every show I go to that is local, I am hoping with all my heart that when I walk into the venue, Jordan\'s keys are set up on the right side of the stage. I love these guys, but I just don\'t understand how anyone could consider things better without him. I know my excitement level leading up to shows has diminished since he left.

wow, that\'s you makisupa? talking about not being a predator.. definitely one of the funniest moments of the movie. i watched bittersweet motel with my parents one day and that clip did everything BUT reassure them i was in a good place when i made my summer festival run. good stuff man. you\'re a legend in my book.

I feel the same way.
I have only been to one trio show back at Daniel Street and this weekend will be my second at Toads. I am curious to see how they have progressed as a trio since the last time I saw them, but at the same time would love nothing more than to see Jordan\'s keys set up too!
The thing for me is that w/o Jordan on keys ,when keys are in a song it\'s the same sounds over and over. With Jordan he had synths, piano, the lush swell of the Hammond. :drool:
Just so much more of a richer fuller sound.
