Yeah man Overexposure especially is where the heat is building... Iron Horse version really stepped it up and the Higher Ground was groovy too. I wonder if they will ever seperate this from TheLateAndTheGreat, because IMO Overexposure is a way better tune and TL+TG has been almost the same every time I\'ve seen it.
LoveLake always puts a smile on my face even if I was in a bad mood before because the venue wouldn\'t let me go outside to smoke ganja.......
Intension = good song but way overplayed (almost every show?? or is it every show??)
......
but the real hottest Breakfast song is EPPY2(motherlovin\' Voodoo!) whenever they feel like playing their best song ever again that would be pretty cool, eh?
Adrian wanted to open the Freakout w/ OE but thought it was still to soon to seperate the 2 songs. So yeah it\'s coming.
LatG is an incredible song. The catch of the song is the heavy repetition and the cathartic release in the jam/end verse. That is probably why it hardly varies in performances to you.
I told everyone I could that Intension was soo good that i did not mind if I heard it every show the last time I saw them in Oct.
When Mooboo\'s comes back I\'ll be very interested in how they arrange it. -

I miss Eppy 2

i think m00b00\'s should stay shelved until they can pull off m00b00\'s>machine gun>v00d00.
doesn\'t have to be all of machine gun (probably shouldn\'t be all of it, out of respect and fear of sacriledge to the world\'s greatest song), but a verse or so, and catching that groove.... perfect fit, i tell ya! -

I like my Voodoo in tact

3 best crowd songs:
-Intension
-Psygn
-Tricky Ways, Rust (=tie, though Rust isn\'t played enough...yet) -

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 **** 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 **** 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..... -

Ummmm.... didn\'t you just disagree with me in detail??
I see your point though --- In terms of getting new fans to recognize songs and get down with the band and all. But one thing I have always said about Breakfast is that you never know what style / songs you\'re gonna get on a given night. Seems like the shows I\'ve hit lately have been heavy on a few new songs and sparse on my favorite blasts from the past...
but I also understand its New Album Touring season and that\'s how it goes. I felt the same way on the Real Radio tour and most likely whined about it then as well
I\'m lookin forward to a seriously heady winter... hopefully with Eppy2 back in the rotation (its my favorite breakfast song dangit!) -

well said, gencs! if everyone knew all their songs, then there\'s no way they should replay them night after night. they have the catalog of tunes not to, after all. BUT since they\'re still building the fan base, they *have* to replay some tunes, especially the hottest ones at the time. look at any band\'s older setlists, its the same thing, how many of your 90-91 phish tapes have soam, or lizards, or jim or mike\'s groove... yep, most of them. same reason, different band...
i say listen to the gencs, he knows things and stuff!
and i, too, will take three new trio songs over a mooboo\'s. if just to hear what the new songs will sound like!
but i still want a mooboo>machine gun>voodoo sammy!!! -

The miraculousness of Love Lake\'s comeback needs to be restated. This is a song that was completely shelved for over 3 years. It was a staple from 98-01 when the band only had 2 nights\' worth of originals. But as soon as they had enough material to shelve some songs, it was the first one on the shelf. It stayed there for over half of the band\'s existence. Now it\'s back in rotation and they\'ve figured out how to use it effectively. This is currently the biggest song comeback in Breakfast history. It looked like Garcian might make a run for a couple of months but that fizzled out quickly. Also don\'t forget The Late And Great\'s coinciding comeback. Only five total plays from 01-03 followed by 3 years collecting dust. Now it\'s on an album and hooked up to the amazing Overexposure. Never saw that coming in a million years. For their next trick, we need Kote to be the intro to Eppy IV.

I don\'t believe I ever got the official explanation on the shelving of Kote. From what I recall, it has something to do with the lyrics??
Would be a great song for the trio, as I don\'t recall what Jordan\'s role was in that one. I think Spears is ready to thump out a Kote. -

Gencs, I know you said L&TG > Overexposure isn\'t "mature" enough yet, but when the title of your thread is "The 3 Hottest Breakfast Songs Currently," I\'d say that L&TG > OE most definitely falls into that category. Yes, it\'s still a young\'un, but that **** has been on fire starting this summer.

I <3 love lake. Im so happy they brought it back. Whenever they play it, it seems like everyone in the venue gets down with their bad selves. Thanks to Stevie for getting them to play it all the time
Over Exposure is def a hot song...but i dont feel that it should be split up from late and the great. they are a match made in heaven. -
