Why do they do this to themselves?

If you want to be technical about it, every single jamband today is riding Phish\'s coattails.  Even if they don\'t sound anything like Phish.  If Phish didn\'t make it, it is possible that almost none of this would be here.

I think The Breakfast often recreates Phish show atmospheres from 1986-1990.  I like that.

DSO....they\'re good at what they do.  And I can see why they do it.  If you love the music you\'re covering, and are good enough at playing it to get paid, and you can draw enough people to it to live a phatty tour life, why not?  I prefer being in original bands but I could see myself having a lot of fun in a Greyboy, Herbie Hancock, or Fela Kuti cover band if the jams were good and people were into it.  DSO is alright by me.  Let\'s just hope the Breakfast buries them in December!

Wow, this thread got outta hand.  I was kidding about the soul searching, I will be at the 9.  But my point was still that the Breakfast is playing about a mile away from a very big draw on the same night.  Doesn\'t anyone look into this stuff?

Too fat for a tandem bike, and too drunk for a Mountain Bike...taste the fear.

Maybe the powers that be figured The Breakfast and DSO draw from different crowds. Like **** myopic improv rock fans will travel to The Breakfast and old tired hippie heads will go to DSO?

whoa, whoa, whoa there Wolfy... let\'s not forget that Phish was also riding another jamband\'s coattails.... to say that Phish is the reason we are all here today is kinda silly.... If not for GD, Phish would have never made it as far as they did.  Phish didn\'t really blow up until after the GD (ie Jerry) died.  Don\'t get me wrong, Phish was definitely influential, but the GD are the "road pavers" for this genre.
