10 best breakfast shows

[tyzack]

Not the ones that you\'ve attended, but the 10 best ones that you think they played...

Most of the ones I went to all blend together into one memory of ser pwnage...

(this is mainly for shows to dl)

[bdfreetuna]

This list will get revised and updated possibly with links but you all know how to use the LMA.

In chronological order. Also I am not choosing my favorites based on how long the show was, how historically important it was, what a rare awesome setlist it might have been, or anything like that.

These are my picks for The Breakfast playing at the absolute top of their game and putting together a show that clicks and vibes or is a ton of fun from start to finish. Or else I just really liked the show

Also I am going to start in 2004 because I don\'t really remember shows before that very well (and I\'m not sure setlists or recordings even exist for the shows I saw in 2002/2003). And I think the band has got better as time went on anyway.

* Indicates that I attended the show, so I probably like it more because of that...

[bdfreetuna]

really, no one else can be arsed to give their top 10?

[tyzack]

I\'ve been thinking about mine...

1/something/04 - Crossroads, palmer ma:
My first show...so that about sums up why it\'s on the list

1/23/07 - century lounge, pvd...covered the album PB first set, second set pygn->tricky ways->lit was tits.

11/something/05, stone church, new market...opened with sundance->pygn, had one of the sickest sandwiches in the second set: queeb->harry->queeb->harry...ended with the chase

12/something/05, middle east, boston...christmas tour that year, another sick queeb and one of the best LDZs I\'ve ever heard

2/27-28-29/08 run (wheel house->mill street->red square) : Three great shows that all flowed together.

11/something/07 - wheelhouse...as mentioned of FB earlier this week "this show is sex"

Star Wars, lebowski, and phish-cover freak-outs...
the freak-out which i "refunded" in the iron horse bathroom...

BreakFEST 1...honestly i was a bit let down by II...

3/22/08 -> toads place, best Mooboo ever to open the second set

4/20/08 -> someplace in NYC...there were artists painting backstage, at the show was sick...

[Wolfman]

Where are you copy/pasting the setlists from?

[bdfreetuna]

I wasn\'t copy/pasting I was reading the songs on my mp3 jukebox and typing them in. So any of the shows I mentioned are show I also have downloaded. And also, therefore I didn\'t bother to split the shows apart by set and encore, just order of songs. Well, > means >, , means , , and . means setbreak ..

[frolfer]

Thats a great list Yoda, can\'t find too much wrong with that! Is that a 2 hour Scheme or was the second set 2 hrs at Yasgur\'s?

[delfunk1]

2005 was a great summer that ended with the two Puppet House Shows, my highlight was the 6/10/05 Porters show.

[Yoda]

Thats a great list Yoda, can\'t find too much wrong with that! Is that a 2 hour Scheme or was the second set 2 hrs at Yasgur\'s?

Second set was 2 hours...  The story behind that show was, PB was scheduled for an 1-1+1/2 hour set on the second stage and there was 1 or 2 bands to play after them...  The bands that were to play heard them and didn\'t want to go after them, so they were told to play as long as they wanted and that they had the stage for the rest of the night...  The first set ran close to 4 hours...  We all went back to our tents, had dinner and relaxed for a while...  The second set started around 12-1 in the morning and went on for a couple hours...  Sometime in the early part of the second set, they were asked to play the main stage for 45 minutes or so the next day...  So, the next morning we all hung around and had breakfast cooked by The Grillmaster...  After the show, we packed everything up and headed to The Wetlands for the show that night...

There were maybe 10-12 of us there at the most - Tim, Ron, Adrian, Jordan, Nicki, Josh & his wife, his friend Lou, I think Todd was there, myself and maybe a couple more people but that was really it from our end...  The crowds were great and the music was out of this world...  Supposedly the shows were board taped, but they have never surfaced...

[bdfreetuna]

The bands that were to play heard them and didn\'t want to go after them

:lol:
