from what i know of Psygn, it reminds me of Free (released relatively late in career, easy to sing along with/solid chords but no fancy writing, generally played often, sometimes jammed really long and somtimes stuck to the progression in a short jam)

boozetravlr, thanks for those comparisons, helps me get a better idea of the breakfast\'s song database

I await the comments back, but why are we comparing The Breakfast to Phish again? This is like comparing Bon Jovi songs to Springsteen songs because they\'re both from New Jersey.

They are two totally different types of music, the common thread being that they play jammed out song and are considered a jamband. I listen to Phish a lot, but would list to a PB/Breakfast show over them any day. Then again, I listen to Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, The Doors and Brian Wilson a lot. There is no one band that rules all of music for me.

Not sure if that was meant for me but I wasn\'t trying to start a debate as to which songs, when compared to Phish, were better. I was just giving DS673488 a guideline to some of the Breakfast material. If he is a fan of You Enjoy Myself, the he should check out The Grand Scheme Of Things. If he like\'s Moma Dance then he will probably like May Fly Disarray, and so on. Instead of just jumping into the Breakfast catalogue and not knowing what to expect he can kind of pick and choose where to get started.

That comment wasn\'t geared towards anyone in particular, it just seems that when I suggested in another thread that covering Phish for the FF, I got a lot of gruff for it from Phish fans.

All I was saying is that comparing Phish to The Breakfast is like comparing Apples to Oranges, it just doesn\'t work (in my opinion).

Chalkdust and Surreal??? Are you ser guy??? Chalkdust although played alot was a phenomenal song that I personally saw lift venues in the air spin them around and replace them just before the show was over...all Surreal Radio does is clear a room.

I like surreal walsh. Don\'t be hating. You only don\'t like it because it doesn\'t sound like disco biscuits. There, I said it.

basically i was just asking if there are songs in TB\'s repitoire that a. are rarely played but a real nice treat for die-hard fans when it is played, and b. used to be played, but havent been played for a long time and fans would like to hear it come back. The harpua and destiny unbound references were just to give people an idea of what i was talking about (because most of us can relate to phish). im pretty sure this has already been answered for me.

I am glad, however, that people have compared other phish songs to breakfast songs...because i am a 99/100 in my phish song knowledge, but probably a 5/100 in my breakfast song knowledge...so it is cool to see comparisons to get an idea of TB\'s song catalog.
