i chose the best live version/sound quality/jams that fit all 3 categories as much as possible, i did use some studio versions which i know is breaking the rules but i had to (tunes like TFA, Mooboo\'s, Grand Scheme) so they got the point. im going to make a lot of copies and pass them out to people at shows in this area, im also gonna bring a batch to High Sierra and pass them out. so before i do that id like to consult with my fellow Breakfast Eaters and see if there is anything i absolutely should put on that isnt right now. please, give me your thoughts......... thanks.

by the way, all discs run at around 78 minutes total. i made sure to maximize the open space.

Gordo, Great idea. Was thinking about putting together 2 sets from the best of this Real Radio tour. Good job.

[freddiewaht]

gordo,excellent work.
can you send me these via im?

[skalnbyc]

Throw in a 1.5 minute Son of Simpleton to close one of the disks with remaining space.

Hope the disks get a great reception from all the newbs.

[Spacey]

Coordinating a major Breakfast marketing strategy or just hoping to share a tent and a  :bj: together?

[Spacey]

Breakfast Strategy but, I will take the BJ too.

People gotta see the Breakfast at this festival or it will be a failure. I mean people really have to be told to see the Breakfast at this festival.

This event obviously has the potential of being a major success for the band.  Good thinking on the promotional efforts to boost attendance and draw in new fans.  Attendance was a little light on the swing through \'middle America" and we would love to see more packed houses on the next run.

[Gordo]

whoa. was busy yesterday, didnt check the board. they call me Gordo -- the turkey jivin muff divin man -- here in chicago.. NO bj\'s from this cat.

dave-- buquebus wouldve gone on the EPIC most likely if it fit. it didnt, and i contemplated taking off a few songs on the other two discs to fit it, but after thinking i decided i couldnt throw on every mindblowing tune, this way whoever listens to these discs will later hear a Buquebus and think "holy shit, there\'s even more epic tunes?! yyyyyyyeeeeesssss....."

spacey-- i will PM in a moment. 10KL isnt looking so good, but im definitely gonna work at getting there as best i can. by the way, i raved about em on the 10KL board for a few days and people seemed intersted. there was some band called BUMP who posted on the board, after fans brought them (bump) up, and they were described as prog/funk/rock. they offered a free live sampler, i emailed them asking for a copy and put a note "hey people are saying youre prog/rock/funk. ive never heard ya but if thats your style you should hook up with the breakfast theyll be there and theyre fucking sick."  reply: yyyeah, we know all about the breakfast. we\'re gonna send you a sampler but please dont expect anything mind-blowing. ummm, hope to see you there.                          ha!

freddie-- what do you mean? send copies through IM? i dont know, not good with that kind of shit but if you send me your addy ill send you copies.

zurflu-- good call on the Son Of Simpleton. point me in the direction of a good 1.5 minute i can download off Llama.

i will find out shortly what the peeps at work think of these tunes so far..

[FrankZappa]

post the dates that you took each song from. I think I\'m going to moe.down, so this would be good to continue there.

[kyndkate]

you want to make me a copy of those?

[Gordo]

id be glad to.. PM me a destination.

after typing i realized i was definitely biased as far as the Lafayette show goes, buuut if youve downloaded youll understand that it was fucking hot. i obviously wasnt at the Baja Bash but its one of my favorite shows and both 4.29.05 and 7.31.04 have excellent sound quality which played a major role. im going to make a switch though. taking out SirPsycho Sexy and throwing in the Earache My Eye from 3.4.05 ....   i know that it goes into May Fly so should i replace that one too?? have a seg? the thing is i considered the 3.4.05 May Fly originally but thought the Star Wars and Punky Reggae teases (from 4.29.05) might grab a noob very well. once again>> more thoughts?

oh, and if you didnt realize, Deuce/Bona/RR were mostly chosen for sound quality/tightness/vocal/horns(Score) purposes. thats why theyre so frequent. STL was especially chosen from Deuce b/c i like the UNinverted version much more. didnt go with studio Doughboy, Sleeping Beauty, Gravity versions b/c the jams i chose from them are waaay too good to pass by.

also just realized that the studio Garcian Fishbowl fits on ~EPIC~ in place of Language. yes or no?

[jocelyn]

Would have thought both Gravity and Score would go on the funk disc. Esp. Score.

I wouldn\'t replace Sir Psycho with Earache... no way.

[Gordo]

Score-- definitely couldve been on funk.. but timing let it fit on the rock.

Gravity-- i think it fits the rock cd better, plus timing i guess, again. the jam isnt so funky to me.

no Earache for Sir Psycho? after i listened to the 3.4.05 version of Earache i thought that it should DEF replace Sir, but hey i like the opinion--- esp. w/a no way involved.
 >>>ill stay then. i like to live dangerously.

now when im playing Gravity in my head though, the verses are really funky. i guess i was just thinking about the ridiculous jams lately that have a more prog-rock feel to em.
