I love old PB, now when I say old I mean 01-02. They began to get pretty tight as
a group. It seemed like they jammed more and took thier jams to more places. I think when they dropped the Psychedelic name, they dropped alot of thier psychedelicness. Now of course, this is not to say they dont still kick ass.

From a newb standpoint: I haven\'t heard much of their old stuff at all, but they definitely have my attention with the new stuff. I can honestly say I haven\'t been disappointed once, except maybe the fact that they don\'t come to the Midwest often enough, haha.

well kyndkate, i would have to argue with you and say that i dont think you make it to the northeast often enough......

i think they are clearly better overall than they were just a few years ago and still getting better every day... steadily and surely perfecting what they do, at the same experimenting with new ideas. The shows are already mind blowing at times and the band is no where near it\'s peak or ultimate potential yet. Future breakfast will be even better than past and present combined imho. They are right on the verge of going somewhere insane and unheard of and the way things are clicking for them right now I wouldnt be surprised if some ser next level shit that blows EVERYONE away all over again went down this summer or fall. I think the boat cruise, 10k lakes, and moe down will all be huge shows that break boundries put the breakfast on the map to stay.

This is exactly what I said after seeing them for the first time a couple months ago. They became #2 on my list of highest face-melting shows I\'ve ever been to, and I don\'t doubt that if they keep progressing at this level they will hold all the top spots someday.

To me everything i hear from old PB b4 Summer tour \'03 is great but comes nowhere close to the band they are now. Vocally 1000000x better. Groupmind more focused. Playing by each member increased by leaps and bounds. They may have seemed more psychedelic back then due to the incredible playing of TimmyP but now that the band is actually 4 equal members rather than the TimmyP and Animal show I think the jams have become more psychedelic in the fact that everyone KNOWS where they are going and when they do get lost it\'s not just Timmy coming to the rescue(RON). This equates to mind/face melting psychedelia.

My first PB show was 1/26/01 @ Toads, and all I can say is that 44 shows later the Porters show in June just blew my mind. That was the single best performance IMHO. I think alot of people at that show can agree.

Phish, 6.24.04, Verizon Wireless Music Center (Deer Creek)
Set II: Tube-->Run Like an Antelope

It was 27 minutes of total meltdown. A sheer half hour of my senses being assaulted. I just made a stop at Deer Creek a couple weeks ago to see DMB, and my face was still on the lawn a year later.

LOL, I will have to take another listen to the Tube -> Antelope. Well, I\'m glad you found your face again.

One of the most important benefits of New Breakfast vs. Early Breakfast is the free access to Breakfast information and music online. The birth of the Live Music Archive and thebreakfast.info (and it\'s predecessor, the Yahoo Groups PB Email List) have allowed people from all over the globe to stay connected to the band and also access hundreds of shows.

Back in the old days, the only source of music was a small crew of tapers. In order to own some of PB\'s recordings, you pretty much had to know the tapers personally. It took me over a year as a fan to hear a few songs such as Gladys Pimp, Drunk Monk Bar, Son Of Simpleton etc. because they had not been played at the dozen+ shows I attended between 1999-2000 (my first year as a fan). There was no way to hear songs you haven\'t yet heard other than to pester the tapers who had copies of shows that may have played these songs. We now have fans such as Boombox who have never seen the band live yet know every single song in the Breakfast catalog. It\'s amazing how far we\'ve come as a community of fans in a couple of years. Anyone who is interested in the band now-a-days can quickly and comfortably assimilate into the Breakfast community with ease from any global location (given an understanding on the English language).
