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
How would adding another instrument make the "backround noise" more clear? that makes absolutely no sence to me. I can undersatnd the argument that it would be better if Tim could focus on his guitar (all though i dont really agree w/ that sentiment), but your first point is just shenanies.
One of my favorite things about the trio is the fact that with Tim sharing time between the guitar and keys, there are a little fewer notes and the jams are more cooperative and breathe a little more. There is more room for the others to take the lead and Ron and Ad are doing just that. What a great night that was.
Oh yeah and the \'Queeb was from another planet.
Totally^ I\'m glad there are folks around here who say what i think, because walsh\'s explination really hit it on the head for me.
As far as the show, wow. What a rager! Everyone has already pointed out the obvious highlights (puppetry, Queeb>wuiac>Queeb, HLH, L&tG>over.)
I wish people would come out and see these guys(WTF).
And Stevie, I am absolutely pro-fog.
ha...it was toads fogger....that thing was like a fog howitzer...... I thought i was pretty good as to only fog the **** outta the stage when the band was going into ser jams....but whatever.....its **** rock and roll......ps if both of toads fog fans were operational, there would have been less complaints..
the fog completely sucked. it totally ruined the show. keep your day job, jenx, or switch to a bubble machine. at least that would be more fun!

I am pretty sure, now after reading a few posts, that you are in the minority regarding the fog machine......
As for a bubble machine, Robyn, this is rock and roll, lets save the bubble machine for The Wiggles or Raffi tour.
I hope you dont get too confused with your two jobs and start feeding jagermeister to your students and trying to teach english to the meatheads at the bars you work at
or start calling out sick to shows :duck:

Actually Robyn a Bubble Machine would be sick if it were a professional one. 2 would be better.
I recall Kuroda creating a Bubble Wall behind Trey and band 2 years ago in Vegas and it absolutely worked to perfection. The refraction factor was insanely high. I had not seen anything like it before and have not seen anything like it since.
its funny this has come up, cause i have one at toads that me and jim day just fixed while we were working on my hazer, havent had a chance to use it yet cause we have to buy the fluid straight from highend, but when the time comes, it should be ser
next up lasers and holograms!!!

You know, they did buy a pretty elaborate rig for a laser type light show (for the dance parties of all things), and b/c I\'m normally stashed upstairs I don\'t know whether it still works.
Ellis- you should look into this. I bet you\'d have blast. BTW- nice job last fri.
i am 100% ANTI-Laser. It only works for pink floyd. The one we have at toads is in a terrible angle, never gets used and is a huge waste of money.

:eek::jawdrop::lol: wait. did leith just agree with me?! :confused:
Wow, I am going to hate myself for this, but I have to agree with Leith...for some odd reason The Breakfast has never really translated well to disc for me. There really are only a handful of bands that I like to see live that I can really get into recordings of. Obviously there is no comparison experience wise, but there is just something that doesn\'t click for me as far as tB shows on disc.
That being said, Leith, since when do you have any friends at Breakfast shows;)
all these posts and not one mention of the darkstar tease in tom sawyer?! for shame!!
/\\/\\/\\ Thank you! I caught a tease I couldn\'t identify right away (encore=me drunk) and I asked people around me, one said Merge, the other said Zeppelin, (I guess I wasn\'t the only one drunk) and just didn\'t seem right. I completely forgot about it until you posted this.
Dark Star! I need to give this a listen now. Oh yeah. I didn\'t download it.
