This is a good question. I first saw them in the summer of \'01 and they immediately blew up (for me). A friend of mine used to work for Phil Lesh, and he sent Phil\'s publicist to the show in San Francisco on Saturday night. I know he spoke to Tim, and he saw at least the first set when they played Scarlet Begonias.

I think it is the intensity of the music, but with Real Radio I think they have tried to work on some of the things that were lacking in years past. The vocals have def. improved too which will only help...

It\'s only a matter of time when Phil gets tired of these hackneyed Americana jamband musicians and wants to sample the fountain of youth (coughTimmycough)....

Yep that is confirmed. We were pretty stoked someone in Phil\'s camp would be able to see the guys jam.

I thought The Breakfast should have opened for Phish. Sucks that Phish quit playing before it happened. Maybe The Breakfast could open for Dave Matthews Band. Everyone else has.

They should get a hold of Fishman or Page and tell them to sit-in at Nectar\'s.

That would be realy cool for The Breakfast

if they keep playing shows, they can only get bigger

If the Breakfast ever opened for the Dave Matthews Band, I\'d thrown in the towel and cherish the memories I had.

I\'d rather smell a steaming pile of **** then hear/see another DMB concert.

I don\'t feel like reading this whole thing, but here is my take:

1. Obvious bad luck with equipt., managing companies, etc. Basically alot of stuff that was MOSTLY out of their hands.

2. They (until recently) have not been playing enough. period. Now obviously I love Timmy Tour, BUT I would much rather they play as a band all over the NE/mid-atlantic when not on a national tour. They have done enough of this weekend warrior stuff, it is time to take the Bull-by-the-horns and play all the time as a BAND, rather than acoustic solo stuff. Go out and sell yourselves for some residencies on a weekly basis. That way Monday\'s, Tuesday\'s and Wednesday\'s would become an attraction for people who want to see the Breakfast. Picture this, I\'ll use July just as a template:

Monday 7/10, 7/17, 7/24 NYC The Knitting Factory
Tuesday 7/11, 7/18, 7/25 Boston Harper\'s Ferry
Wednesday 7/12, 7/19, 7/20 CT Daniel St.

I guarentee, that attendance would grow and grow as these got going. Then they head out to further away places for the Weekend(i.e Philly/DC/Baltimore -or- NH/VT/ME) etc, etc, etc...

i still think their name hurts em. with so many jambands out there, i think people tend to judge a book by its cover whether or not they want to admit it. when people ask me who my favorite band is, they cringe at my answer without hearing a note. then they laugh and will compare em immediately with a comment like, "sounds like another retarded String Cheese Incident or something."

so yeah i guess without a ton of exposure, its hard for people to give them a chance. jambase and relix reeeaaalllly get on my nerves for not giving TB the time of day like they should.
