The one aspect I miss about Breakfast of old was the greater versatility of setlists.  They used to cover many songs that are no longer played and so the setlists seemed less predictable than today.  However, they have become segwich monsters over the past couple years and incorporate their setlist creativity accordingly.

agreed. they used to play more covers because they didn\'t have so many originals. as for setlist predictability, let\'s hope we start hearing some new originals soon, as we seem to be hitting another \'dry spell\' with no new tunes (yes, i know RR is only 3 months old...)..

Yeah come on now Dave. They\'re still in the "exposing the people to RR" phase. Just because WE\'VE heard the songs a million times now doesn\'t mean everyone has.

I know that it happened somewhere out on the road, but for me the turning point in how the band sounded was the Grand BandSlam! on 8/1/02.  The group improvisation had grown so fast out on that first National Tour that I had a hard time believing that it was the same band.  Special night, Jerry\'s BDay, and all.  I still wish we got that encore you can hear us all yealling for at the end.

listening to an early show not too long ago in my car Adrian says from the backseat...\'man, i miss my old drums\' (the ones that got stolen)

basically, i think theyd be in a much better place had they not hit a wall like that!

Top 10 Key Differences in Early Breakfast v. Current Breakfast

10. No more nightly drum solo.

9. Ron can sing.

8. Ron can play.  I mean, really play.

7. They play everything a lot faster now.

6. The drumset.  Original set > Dave\'s set > Current set have been major changes.  

5. The vocals are about 5 times better now.

4. They can now shelve songs, although they have shelved a few too many. (Spunk and Kote need to be played.)  I can\'t believe they used to play Love Lake like every night.

3. Dobson.  Huge.

2. They used to be a lock for at least 4 covers a night.  They are now at a paradox point where they have enough originals that they don\'t need to play covers, but they don\'t have enough originals to prevent serheads from seeing the same songs over and over.   Then again, serheads go to a ton of shows.

1. For better or worse, they used to play whatever they wanted however they wanted all night, every night.  The act is a lot more polished now.  Certain songs are openers, certain songs are closers, certain songs are in roatation, others are shelved.  Big shows and any shows on the road are buttoned up, trying to keep the crowd interested.  Small shows in CT they totally let it hang loose i.e. Sully\'s, Cafe 9, and  Porter\'s, which, it should be noted, have been widely regarded as the best shows in the last year.
