do the breakfast tend to hold off playing particular songs for a while after they have just been played? take for instance song A is played at any given show...are the chances slim of song A being played 3 shows later?

not slim at all, depending on what song it is of course

Every song has a rotation. It\'s just to complicated for me to explain at the moment.

I am hoping that after the 7 new songs that Pec guarenteed;) at the FF, they will begin to mix up the setlists even more.  I just think they need a full, real tour for this to begin happening.  These one-off shows or 3 night runs don\'t really give them the opportunity(or reason for that matter) to make an effort not to repeat songs.  I just really wish they would start to explore some of the songs that get fairly standard readings every time played.(i.e. Doughboy, Inner glimpse, etc)

Tour is indeed the key ingredient.

I was told by a certain someone that there are roughly a dozen new tunes that they have been working on. I think if they can get some of these songs into the rotation the can make the 3-4 show with repeating almost no songs.

Some of the best shows I\'ve seen have been the first shows coming back from a tour

for example:
May 8th, 2003 - Pearl Street; Northampton, MA
I: Hard Luck Harry > Score > jam > Hard Luck Harry > Merge > Drum Solo > Memory Of A Free Festival, Mooboo\'s Voodoo (Episode 2), jam > Puppetry, The Grand Scheme Of Things > Question Mark And The Mind > The Grand Scheme Of Things, The Chase
E: Rufus > Phaddy Boom Baddy > Rufus > Phaddy Boom Baddy, jam

this was my favorite show to listen to for a long time

this was my favorite show of \'03. i went from 2/15/03(pearl st) - 5/8/03 with no breakfast because they were on tour. that was the longest i have ever went in between breakfast shows. even if they had played the worst show ever i still would have been happy just to see them again, but i thought they put on one of the best sets ever at the time.

rufus > phaddy > rufus > phaddy was sick. they were going into wild pack next, but the venue made them stop during the opening jam, so they picked up where they left off the following night at the living room. i never transferred the living room recording. ill have to try to track that down.

Are junkies allowed to give an intervention to fellow junkies?

If I am not mistaken that is the fan picked show.  Where everyone out in setlists and they ended up patching together a SICK show from those.  The opening HLH->Mooboo\'s is a mix of mine into Wah\'s.  Of course I got really drunk the night before the show and slept right thru it after work...damn.
