Watch out Leith is throwing the Newbie title around...hey slick, didn\'t really see the need for any personal attacks but since you have seen SOOOOOOO many "heady" shows, I guess it was warranted. I see alot of everyone elses points and like I said I do like the new songs but I still don\'t see the need to play Doughboy almost every night.

Leith, you f**king "scenester" it is so nice that you decided to be a Breakfast fan, I can\'t wait until you get to meet alot of the people with whom you have sparked such good realtionships with through this board.

Yeah I\'m such a "scenester" are u being a sphincter? Dude sorry if my life pursuit of seeing as much live music as possible makes me a "scenester". All I know is all the money I have spent and all the trades I have made to see all the "heady" shows I have was and is worth it . Putting up w/ least coaster mentality notwithstanding I think I have sparked some meaningful and possibly long lasting friendships w/ those that I actually have met from this board, I doubt if we meet that would happen because I may be too hip for you to handle. That and you really like them Biscuit guys. Chill brah we were all newbies once sheesh!

People, please. May I make everyone aware of the "ignore list" feature. If you go to user cp, you can put people on your ignore list. This means you don\'t see any of their posts and you also can\'t get PMs from them. I put leith on the ignore list months ago and my enjoyment of this site went way up. He posts nothing worth reading and just tries to infuriate people, so why even bother reading his posts? If you can\'t stand leith or anyone else, put them on your ignore list rather than getting into another insult match.

Wah to me the ignore list is like the editting option to you no good. I find hiding opinions you do not like to be very insulating and conducive to a myopic view of the world.

I find it rather funny that Seth has put me on his ignore list. I\'m actually glad. I enjoy spatting w/ Wah every once in awhile because though he may seem like a neandrethal in typing I find his insights into many things interesting and funny as heck.
With Seth all you get is mean spirited, ususally mistaken epithets thrown @ you. When proven to be the imbecile he is he gets all upset and rather than apologize for being an ass he will just ignore you.

By the way no one ever answered my question about if there is some kind of formula that they use for writing their setlists, as far as rotation, or do they just wing it when they sit down.

Leith, I can\'t imagine you knowing anything about the Breakfast that Wolf doesn\'t know from 5 or 6 years ago. Wolf is most likely one of the least mean spirited people I know and I am sure everyone would back me up on this point.

On a seperate note I am finally listening to 8/13/04 @ The 9...WOW! 1st set is nearly perfect in every way. The Acid Queen was intense and Vera St had the perfect placement. Can\'t wait for the 2nd set.

Dude do you actually read posts? I would love to read where I wrote I knew more abt the Breakfast than Wolf or anyone for that matter. I do know more abt Grateful Dead than you would ever know that is for sure and when it comes to callin people newbies since when is that a personal attack? I\'ll call any one a newbie if they post like one and I believe there may only be 1 or 2 people on this board that can call me a newbie to improv rock. I do know this though Wolf is a mean spirited person he just hides it better than others.

The "ignore" option is for wimps. The day you stop listening to contrasting opinions is the day you stop learning about your world and yourself.

In the "extras" portion of the Porter\'s dvd the band is shown brainstorming ideas for the setlist before the show. It seemed like Tim had sketched out the majority of the set and was soliciting ideas for interesting segues and any out-of-rotation songs the other guys wanted to play. My guess is they cobble together the setlist at the last moment most of the time. Special occasions are probably better planned (Halloween etc.)

This show has my vote for one of the best ever. Definitely top 2 or 3 for me. I was slightly bummed after the show though because I had the next night to see, but knew there was no way the first night would be topped....

I still want to know how asking about the Breakfast song rotation qualified anyone(me or anyone else) as a newbie?? Isn\'t that what these forums are for? It was a question that I thought would spur up some good debate until your comments took it out of the realm of discussion and into personal attacks.

Secondly what the hell does your alleged knowledge of the Grateful Dead have to do with this thread? Don\'t pretend to know anything about me, alright. This isn\'t a pissing contest.

I wholeheartedly disagree on this point. No way is he mean-spirited... a smartass maybe (see his recent post where he implys that I am a slave driving redneck), but it\'s all in good fun.

WALSH · « **Reply #42 on:** December 13, 2004, 01:31:00 pm »

I need to hear the 2nd night also but it did look on paper that they spent themselves during this first night.

WALSH · « **Reply #43 on:** December 13, 2004, 01:31:48 pm »

You mean you aren\'t a slave driving redneck??

That is what I am talking about Al.
