Holy **** I am alive!

GOTV2007 = Best Festival Ever --- best vacation ever --- -best time of my life!

Now I really have no idea what to do with the rest of my life. I might just crawl into a hole with an alarm clock set for next years Vibes.

Anyway.... it was fun to see Breakfast again tho I was BEAT and BRAINDEAD by that point in the weekend I saw a few of you guys, I\'m not gonna lie, but I spent most of the show sitting in some shade across the road.

Matt sounded great for The Chase. Tim\'s guitar work in Honey Butter was some of the best I\'ve ever seen... in fact that may be my fav. Honeybutter to date. After that I had mixed feelings though. I found the keyboards in Rufus to make the song worse, not better. And then Tricky Ways was wasted time and Intension was played well especially Ron\'s sick bass rock-out but that song wasn\'t enough to get me back on my weary feet and go back to the sand.

Best shows of the weekend:
George Clinton and P-Funk ....... and Bob Weir and Ratdog

Anyway I\'ll def go see Breakfast again

.... I was kind of hoping Matt could add more ambiance to the band but as it seems he is more of a "lead keyboard" player.... ummmm.... well he was just too loud for me I could hear the keys way louder than the other instruments I hope they work that out somehow.

I think I\'m still feelin that white on white...

You can not use this festival show as an indication of sound. They were using the festivals equipment, everything was back lined. Toad\'s Place will be the real test of what this quartet is capable of. Sure, its great to seem them at some festivals but an hour time slot is not enough time for them to open up and explore nor is it any indication of what they are going to sound like in a roof. There is promise from yesterdays show.

There was promise from the moment Matt joined the band.

It\'s ridiculous how some people could find fault with and over review a set where a new member makes his debut, but then with some of the things I\'ve seen these fans say, I\'m not surprised. The Chase was finally it\'s old self again, with some really nice piano fills throughout might I add, and it made me smile a bit. Honey Butter is one of their best songs, big fuckin\' deal that it didn\'t "own" anyone ever heard of adjusting or taking time to see where to best fit into a song bascially perfected by a trio, whatever. I do have one small complaint and it probably isn\'t really a complaint in the traditional sense but, maybe not play Rufus every show, just a thought, yes I understand that it probably was used to build energy and to act as practice for Matt to get more used to the Breakfast style, I guess, even though he has played with them before, but to call it standard, yeah I guess it may have been to some but who cares. Tricky ways never really did it for me ever, but maybe Matt can add some new or different personality to it. Intension was fuckin\' crazy, sometimes it\'s a goddamn shame that it has to even end at all after it builds and builds to a frenzy. Overall, great time and worth the couple miles we had to walk, thanks to peaches, lexington (whose name I don\'t know) and sallyalli and your friend for being there at the exact right time, cuz after a really looooooooong hot ass walk and being told by security guy that the band "lied to you guys" when I was told it was free, I kinda almost freaked a little, so thanks again, cuz we couldn\'t have shown up more perfectly timed, good **** guys! Can\'t wait to see a full 2 set show and I\'m really looking forward to what the future hold for this wonderful band.

say what? :confused:

For the record Honey Butter ruled and was by far the best part of the show. Normally I don\'t even like this song that much.

Where do I begin? Crowd was by far the the biggest turnout I saw all day in the Free Solar Stage. I like the new keyboard intro to The Chase, sounds a little dark and eirie ala Eddie Palmieri improvisation. Unfortunately, there where some technical sound issues beyond Matts control during the rest of The Chase which made the keyboards sound really loud and distorted. Problem got fixed at the end of the song, but my right ear was a little deaf for the remainder of the show. Seeing that this was Matt\'s debut as the new member of The Breakfast, I like the energy and vibe that he brings to the table on and off the stage. I\'m definitely looking forward to Toad\'s on the 23rd and getting a longer dose of the new B\'fast quartet.

matt was kind of tough to hear at some points, but that\'s to be expected...they did show a lot of potential though

:that: :confused: It\'s funny how people have whined about having keys, and now at the first show, they\'re super critical of them.

Eiher way, I had a great time at the show & didn\'t notice any sound glitches or imperfections - it was fun to be just dancing around on the beach listening to awesome tunes. See ya at Toad\'s Place!!! :disco:

ya, i dont know what tuna\'s talkin about... i thought the keys were wicked quiet throughout most of the show, but maybe we were just at different places, i dunno

anyhoo, i thought the band was tight as hell, but chadwick\'s seen better days. ronnie spears was funky as hell in chase and intension fuckin roooocked

A wise man once told me that your state of mind at a show is often more important than the state of the music. It\'s hard to be brought to your feet by anything at all after a few days of brain-fry.

Over the years I have realized how little attention people pay to sound quality (in general) and their position in the crowd which drastically changes their \'filter\' for the music. There are times I\'m content staying in one spot, but most often I\'m relentless in finding that glorious window where your ears feel hooked up with every member in the band. It\'s like listening to a shitty recording of Over Exposure in a Chevy Tracker when BAM! you\'re suddenly in the middle of a Bose showroom with Moxie Epoxy\'s version pumping from every felt covered box of magic. That moment when all is heard is like Campbell\'s Soup for an 8-year old on a frozen February evening.

I\'m licking my chops for their Chicago arrival.

This show kicked ass beginning to end, Matt has immediately brought this band to another level, and given the level they were at, that is sayin\' something.
