I will say that there were a few nice lookign ladies in NYC for the Boat cruise.
I was just talking smack :)

"The vertical punchdance gets the crowd and the band fired up which inherently leads to foul jams which then necessitate the bust out of aggressive ninja horizontal and diagonal fist pumps."
That should be in Wikipedia, for ser.

Punchng the Giant = Ser fistpumps into the air.....I like to refer to it as the punchdance, but Punching the Giant is definitely good ****...
the punch dance is ser. I knock out like 273 invisible ninjas at the really hot shows. I jumpkick a few on occasion as well.

guys punching the Giant upfront
What?
-
Thats it for me. when i can close my eyes and SEE the music and feel like it\'s lifting me off my feet. thats why i think every show is amazing because these guys some how know how to bring you to that level and then make you open your eyes and pinch yourself to make sure its all real.

Regarding the sausage fest.....if you think Breakfast shows are sausage fests nowadays.....you should have seen em a few years ago when it was just girlfriends, wifes, and sisters.....now there are heady sexy chicks driving from all over to get to see the band and be part the family....It is truly AWESOME...so thanks to all the ladies....
there were some girls that were very pleasing to the eye on the boat. i found it very enjoyable conversing with some of them.

but I guess what really makes a great breakfast show could be answered in one word, and that word is....FREDDIEWAHT
GET A ROOM!
What makes a great show for me:
1) Crowd
2) Song Selection
3) Sound Quality
4) Venue
5) Segues
That\'s it for me... the crowd makes it or breaks it... have never seen a soldout show not be great. Have seen about a million doozie shows that on cd sound good, but the live feeling ain\'t the same when the band is playing for you & 2 friends.

Hmmmmmm......What makes a great Breakfast show?
I am finding it hard to answer this question since every Breakfast show I have been to has been great to me. So I am guessing that it has to do with the venue, band, people, mind altering substances of any form.......but I guess what really makes a great breakfast show could be answered in one word, and that word is....FREDDIEWAHT

I would have to go overall....venue. A great venue always brings a great crowd so those always go hand in hand. Think about it, everythime the guys play porters..it is always one of the best shows i\'ve ever seen em play. Or even Sully\'s, that place has become one of my fav\'s to see the guys, and b/c it is smaller the energy is always through the roof which the band feeds off of and gives us an incredible night.

"like when they\'re in the middle of a jam, i know exactly when they\'re gonna kick back into the verse, or when jordan\'s gonna take a solo, or whatever... its really a strange thing thats so overwhelming"
I know exactly what you mean.
-
When we were in Block Island, Captain Nicks was a terrific venue, outside bar, no security, relaxed feeling, everything you want. Great sound 2 floors to see the stage, the ability to walk outside and come back in.
most definitely! i owned that balcony for most of the show :D ... i wish that venue was closer, i\'d definitely check out more shows there....
oh, and can\'t forget the ser breakfast chicks. they totally make the venue look hella lot nicer. i don\'t know what i\'d do if there weren\'t fine ladies like princesscaspian, mamalakabubadaya, jocelyn, sallyalli, madmahoney, and moebass to mingle my way through.
what can we say? we\'re a sexy bunch ;)
while there is a long list of what makes a great breakfast show for me, i suppose the primary factor is the ability to close my eyes, and feel the music literally flowing through my body... i hardly ever stop moving at a show, but when i really, really feel the music, i can almost tap into the energy of the band... like when they\'re in the middle of a jam, i know exactly when they\'re gonna kick back into the verse, or when jordan\'s gonna take a solo, or whatever... its really a strange thing thats so overwhelming, but i love exploring it and i hope that one day i\'ll be able to fully understand it. god i love this band.

Lots of things...
The bands mood.
The Venue.
The sound.
The Crowd and how much they are FEEDING the show.
The song selection.
The atmosphere.
The decore.
Previous hot shows on the run.
Lack of hot shows on said run. (hot streak, cold streak)
The Ladies.
How lit the band/crowd happens to be.
The general mood of the venue.
etc
etc
etc.
its really obvious when they are on fire tho. There is electricity in the air before the music even starts, And it all just has an edge of ser\'ness to it. You can hear that twinge of epic ser\'ness all the way through the really fire shows, not just when they are jamming. Then they jam and take it COMPLETELY OVER THE TOP and everyone jumps up and down and dances as hard as possible. Repeat several times, taking it down ocassionally but not losing too much momentum. Thats what makes a great breakfast show imo.
-
I hear ya, brah. I judge the shows I go to by how many times I lose balance.
maybe thats why i thought the cruise was so good!

The thing I remember most is never being able to wipe the grin off my face (and almost hyperventilating during Scarlet Begonias because I couldn\'t dance any harder).
^^^^That was me last night!!! i got ser dizzy at one point, stumbled over something behind me (hope it wasn\'t somebody sitting on the ground) and just kept dancing my ass off! Ahh man i love breakfast shows!

maybe you\'re at the wrong shows.

Really ? Always seems like the biggest sausage fest to me :)
Not to mention it is alwyas guys punching the Giant upfront can\'t be that great to look at all your sweaty asses all night boys :hehehe:
-
that\'s right and don\'t you forget it!!
although at gtb on friday i was so tired from block island i think i became delirious for a little while

I think the crowd has alot to do with it. The crowd was rocking out pretty hard at the family jam, Tim was def having a good time with the crowd and I think that escilated the energy of the band.

captain nick\'s was awesome!!!
the funk box in baltimore is definitely a chill venue. it\'s not very big but has a second level, nice green room and i\'m pretty sure the owner\'s or management there love the breakfast.
-
the great breakfast fans help out a little bit too. i don\'t know if the shows would be anywhere as good or fun w/o you crazy bastards in the crowd getting the boys all riled up. i\'ve never seen a band that thrives off the fans energy as much as TB.
-
Having seen this band as early as 1999 up to now, I know that they have improved. Have they reached their fullest potential yet? I don\'t think so. Having seen many shows and seeing almost 20 since March, I feel that this last week of shows have been great. I have not been disappointed.
-
i\'m not sure that i\'ve seen enough to know yet....anybody else maybe feel that way?
-
The interaction between the band and the crowd (usually in the form of some Silly T.P. stage banter).
Mike (Kindm\'s) hit the nail on the head with the venue comment. Some of my favorite Breakfast memories were inspired by an ideal setting for the band and crowd.
-
I have to agree that Venue and sound systems are 2 major components of a great show.

Venue, Venue, Venue
The band is always gonna bring it.
The venues have a lot to do with it. It would be cool if there were some nice venues around but there really don\'t seem to be many at all.
Most venues have crappy sound and **** security. There are very few places if any where 1 of these 2 things doesn\'t have the potential to ruin a show. Maybe not for everyone but those 2 issues are looming.
ED O\'Dwyers in Saratoga NY is nice. They have a new sound system and seem to be pretty chill so they at least have decent sound and stay open til 4AM (best part about NY)
I would say best venue I have been in in years is Beardslee Castle. That place was really cool, the folks there seemed super chill and the venue is very unique.

acoustics...

everyshow is a good one.................there are certain things that could be consumed prior to the show that could make it life changing

Everything makes a Breakfast show...lights, sounds, people. The thing I remember most is never being able to wipe the grin off my face (and almost hyperventilating during Scarlet Begonias because I couldn\'t dance any harder).

After last evenings performance, I was left almost speechless. I was amazed at ellis-d on the lights, the sound dobz produced through the PA, the musicianship of the entire band, their ability to play off each other, the energy produced by the band, the crowds reactions to the insanity, the non-stop relentless jamming, the speed at which Animal hits the drums, the way Jordan can really smash them keys, the way Ron grooves and glues the band together and the unbelievable speed of Tim on guitar.
So, I ask all of you, what do you think makes a great Breakfast show?
