Why don\'t they play Mooboo\'s anymore?

good question Laguardo!

they played it a decent amount in the Fall w/ Matt and Ron, and then played it one time in March w/ Dangledoo and as far as i know haven\'t played it since.

[sconnie4satan]

was there a reason for all instrumental-ness?

looks ser

"the vocals were a bigtime sorry chip, so no one felt like singing."

didn\'t catch that they were all instrumentals....


some people hate all instrumentals/"too much jamming" but I think it\'s a great idea, every now and then.

It\'s a bummer.  I\'ll take 2 over 3 & 1 any day of the week.  I mean, that\'s a given.

Yeah, but not once this tour....

[Lexington]

it was a trio tour, duh!
remember how long it took them to bust it out last time they went trio? i know, matts back. whatev. we\'ll get that shit, but i wouldn\'t hold your breath.

i like eppy 2 best of all, but i\'d take a eppy 1 and 3 in the same set with no complaints.

seriously that 2nd set makes me wanna cry (the good cry, of course). please tell me this was taped.

[Gordo]

I\'d much rather hear Eppy 3 right now, only because I\'ve never gotten a live Eppy 3 and have had 2 2\'s.

Fuckin sick setlist. I wonder if OE started @ the 3:24, 3:35, or 4:42 (Epoxy cut) mark? Goddamn I need some live TB. I hate school at the moment and listening to OE makes me want to run away, or dance away I guess.

[Wolfman]

Great setlist.  Nice.   Put down the mics and just shred.  Love the concept.

Shows in Bumblefuck often end up raging because The Breakfast is the biggest (or only) act in town.  The plus side is that you can take over the town for the night and have great show.  The minus is that these people never leave Bumblefuck and they also don\'t always care who the band is.  They just go out and rage to whoever is playing.  Which is super cool of them, don\'t get me wrong.  But if you ask them in two weeks who they were raging to on 10/21 they might have no idea.  City shows might draw a smaller crowd but every person there usually chose to be there over the 20 other things they could have done that night.  You get very few accidental attendees in the city, and can count on some support from those people in the future.  It\'s all part of the ups and downs of touring.  

The lesson here is that often times, contrary to intuition, crowd size is inversely proportionate to population size.  And sometimes it isn\'t.

trippy

[Lexington]

i\'m gonna need a p value for that one

[Wolfman]

i\'m gonna need a p value for that one

f(x)=((p-1)/c)^(.3prs) where f(x) is the crowd size, c is the cover charge, r is the radius of distance from the venue, s is the number of other shows in that radius that night, and p is the population in that radius.

Point being?  They could still play it. I know the reason why now, so it\'s moot, but them being a trio doesn\'t give them an excuse to not play Eppy 2 seeing as there are no definitive keyboard lines.
