• Why did Toads close so early? Did you have to pay for the full ticket price?

• when older acts come in.....they dont usually play till close......the band is old...most of the bands fans are old.....i guess all acts reserve the right to call their stop time.....
  
  re: full ticket price...hell no...

• True, I guess that\'s right. It is like a regular show. I am so use to the Breakfast playing until close that I just thought it was the norm.

• The beginning of the tune sounds like a Dead tune, I just can\'t seem to place it. Franklins maybe, I am not good with Dead tunes but it seems like it is close. Did they play this song?
