3-song matchup is a terrible way to go.  DMB and Surreal Radio will simply take votes away from each other thus Escher\'s will win.  It\'s like having 2 facists and 1 facist run for president...the facists combined might get 10 million more votes than the facist, but the facist will win because he will have more votes than either individual facist.  This isn\'t rocket science, it\'s pretty obvious you can\'t have a 3-way matchup.  I can think of about 10 different tiebreaking systems if you need one.

I\'ve got an idea: How about in the NCAA basketball tournament if 2 teams tie they combine the teams into one team and take on the next opponent! :rolleyes:  Or if last night\'s Stanley Cup final game 7 ended in a tie, both teams get to skate around with the cup! :no:

So what are we gonna do when the final ends up in a tie?  Just say both songs win and call it a day?  Of course not.  OK, so we agree there needs to be a tiebreaking system.  Great.  Now apply it to ties in earlier rounds as well.  The 3-way matchup denies the lower seeds any chance they had of pulling an upset.

Suggested tiebreakers: (They\'re not all completely fair, but they\'re way better than the cop out of "both-songs-win".)
- Extend the voting for 24 hours.  
- Sudden death.  (Next vote wins, deciding vote must come from a user with at least 1 month on .info)
- Add up the total posts of voters on each side (not popular, I know, but effective)
- Tim breaks the tie
- ChrisPitch breaks the tie
- The band girlfriends (Nikki, Lisa, Tangie) = tiebreaking committee

I don\'t know but I do want to hear the song more. I think it is great. Perhaps, it had been over played a little in the past.

I hate to do it, but Escher\'s beats DMB to my vote by a cat\'s whisker.

Escher\'s is border line epic IMO. The song is one that I really enjoy and look forward to hearing at any show. There is a great foundation for the song and has so much room which allows for indefinite possibilities. The other tunes are straight forward rock\'n\'roll and that is great, as you can tell by the Surreal Radio closer Saturday night and the DMB in the first set.

I was, up until Sat. When I was given the setlist before the show, didn\'t even give it a thought. Totally forgot about Escher\'s birthday!!!

after getting past the initial confusion of having THREE songs to choose from (my head was spinning for a good 12 seconds), i went Escher\'s.
