But my point beign what harm is it gonna do to vote. none  

and what harm is gonna do to not vote..... who knows but more than voting

and i wrote vote to your heart\'s content.

Seriously Leith, why don\'t you just leave the board and lick Trevor\'s chode because I\'m sure MANY, MANY people are sick of your trite comparisons to TLG.  There are many points I agree with you on Leith, but there are many I don\'t concerning this TLH affair. I really think you should take a second and think about the economics involved in these two bands. I\'ve said it once, I\'ll say it again. TLG came from money, TB=the Springsteen of the East Coast jam scene.

Your last sentence is just patronizing, but I still can\'t help but smile at the nugget of truth it certainly posseses.teeheehee

Hey let\'s not turn this into a TLG/Leith bash.
I am just saying the fit is not there. POINT BLANK
 As for TLG coming from $$ you are just sadly mistaken and I\'ll leave it @ that. Oh no I won\'t. Take a look @ TLG\'s touring schedule for the past 4 years and you will see they are tour warriors who have earned every $ and fan they have.

If Vera St isnt meant for the DMB crowd then down must be up and black must be white. Trust me, with selective songs The Breakfast could win over almost any fan base.

lol No they can\'t but it\'s nice to think they could.
They do not have the dynamics as a band to win over almost any crowd. Hopefully with some more touring this year it will develop.
and to put to rest all the bitching I put The Breakfast down as the 5th band on my vote.
Fuckin\' Peer Pressure!

if you think those guys can\'t cater to nearly any market you need some schooling boy

I traveled with those guys for almost two years you\'d be very surprised.

You ony see them when they play to people that want the crazy ****

I think not.
 I am sure they play well to a variety of crowds but to think they can play in a manner which would lend itself to a DMB crowd is silly in my opinion.

The Breakfast are a Rock Monster and have yet to learn the delicate touch of "not playing". I make it a point to listen to every show possible away from Ct. and it only reinforces my belief. I am hopeful from the structure of the new songs that they are learning this.

The ONLY flaw I can find in Tim\'s playing.
Given the choice to play one note or none. Tim will play FIVE!

If Vera St isnt meant for the DMB crowd then down must be up and black must be white. Trust me, with selective songs The Breakfast could win over almost any fan base.

I was thinking they could just do a 45 minute Vera St>Message In A Bottle> Vera St> Rocking In The Free World

You never can tell though when it comes to picking openers. Dave may like the fact that the Breakfast are so different from him. He does not have to worry about direct competition and his fans may open up to some new music (or at least their parents might). Looking at the big picture any exposure would be helpful and maybe someone involved with Dave will catch wind of the band, realize they are not right for Dave but steer them in a beneficial direction (bonnaroo bookers etc.).

Jaded as he may be, you have to admit Leith has a couple of good points. I think the money is more likely to go towards replacing the next stolen piece of equipment or wrecked van than it is towards touring.

whatever happened to people enjoying amazing showmanship?  Tim represents the spirit of the late 60\'s/early 70\'s/ He refuses to give up his rock star point of view, which is great except for no one else is really buying it, which I find very sad.... The boys should be hailed as noble knights keeping the antiqueted spirit of classic rock alive...

For a band that needs all the publicity it can get, we are quick to close the door on any possible exposure.

Who gives a **** if the fanbase isn\'t the same? The Breakfast are not your typical jamband and I truely think of them as a rock band 1st with funk fusion before I consider them a jam band (which is a generic genre in my opinion)

No need to force people to vote but if you are going to vote, vote Breakfast 1st and foremost.

Keep it positive people!!!
