def the first Tomatotron show @ the Corner Pocket last summer.
Just a heads up for ya Robyn. There has only been one Tomatotron show in the history of that horrible horrible moniker, and it definitely was not the Breakfast\'s first show as a threepiece July 8, 2006. It was supposed to be a Good Time Boys show at Cafe 9 but Dave Peck was sick and couldnt make the gig, so instead of canceling the show Tim, Ron, and Adrian played as a threepiece under the horrible horrible moniker, Tomatotron.

I have given this some serious thought and I would have to say that my favorite 3 piece show to date is 12/9/06 The Saint, Asbury Park, NJ. It was my second consecutive Breakfast birthday show. My only birthday wish was for someone to write out the bands setlist copies for me so I had no idea what was coming all night long. That was the first and only time since I started working for the band that I had absolutely no idea what they were going to play the entire show.

The band was definitely on fire that night. There were a bunch of friends in the house to see the show and help me celebrate my birthday. I was on more substances all at once than I have ever been on before in my life. There was some boomer chocolates, some ser acid, and some very friendly and giving person was just handing me 1/4 chunks of E the entire night long. The music was transcendant as the band literally carried me with their music through the night......
I would be remiss if i didnt mention the 10/28/06 mezzanote show. That was equal to 12/9 on every level with the exception that it wasn\'t my birthday.
The best part about both those nights was not only the show, but the latenight hotel raging was by far the 2 best post show throwdowns I have ever been to after a Breakfast show.
