The Breakfast\'s "Harpua" and "Destiny Unbound"
« on: September 24, 2007, 10:42:01 pm »
I was wondering if some of the regulars could clue me in on what The Breakfast\'s "Harpua" is, i.e. a song they rarely ever play even though its highly requested, but when they do, its a huge hit from the die-hard fans.

Also, does The Breakfast have a "Destiny Unbound," i.e. a song that they used to play way back in the day, but they havent played it in a long time and is also highly requested.

harpua= episode 3 or garcian fishbowl, or sundance  in my opinion

garcian, sundance and awakening all fit that description. they may notbe analogous to harpua, but are seriousy underplayed and cherished when busted out.

The questions really should be, what songs don\'t they play that we want them to play and what songs have the not played in 5 years or so.
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.

the breakfast\'s catalog is far too small to have songs fit into these categories, though sundance would be about the closest \'harpua\'.

I dont think anything in the breakfast caalog can compare to either of these songs. destiny was shelved for longer than the breakfast has even been around, it was only played a few dozen times in over 14 years since it\'s debut, people were insane about trying to get them to play it with banners, chants, constant requests, discussions, write ups, etc. nothing in breakfast land even comes close to this

sundance = harpua? I don\'t think so. Phish had MANY MANY songs that were rarely played and highly hoped for and Harpua was at the very TOP of that list. Harpua was something you always hoped for at every show. It was VERY SPECIAL. Every one was a unique version. If they played harpua the show was an instant classic. And they pretty much only played it at very epic shows or very special ocassions. Sundance is a great tune and I am always glad to hear it but it\'s no where near the significance of getting a harpua.

I know a lot of people who saw well over 100 phish shows and never got a harpua. SHow me one breakfast fan who has seen over 100 shows and never saw a sundance or a garcian.

Untill the post hiatus destiny I knew people who had seen over 250+ shows and never seen a destiny.

There is nothing in breakfast land that even remotely compares to either of these songs. end of discussion.

Tribal Funk Affliction for Harpua, maybe more of a Fluffhead though.
Don\'t shoot the messenger it\'s not his fault...
It\'s just a drag when you\'re the last one to know.
