This setlist looks better than the one that I received texts for.

After the Red Square show, all shows that do not have 3 hours should be 1 set. It sucks when they break, and the 2nd set is rushed, especially after the energy builds up in set one. I love set break as much as the next person but give me a 2+ hour set if you only have 2 1/2 hours to play.

have to say i was dissapointed in this show after seeing the Utica and listening to the others prior to philly. EE2 wouldve been nice. MayFly is great. Rufus was great, Scheme was awesome. other than that, i can pretty much take or leave everythuing else. i def left a little dissapointed(and tipsy cause i was pounding beers and jack daniels all night)

playing for over 2 hours straight might not be something the band wants to do on a regular basis. If they are on fire and not wanting to stop thats one thing but to premeditate and force out marathon one setters could be a real disaster imo.

again, are they booked to play two sets vs one set? i know that i was with one band who was booked to play one long set, the guitarist has some bad pork and desperately needed a setbreak and they got a huge amount of (excuse the pun) **** about it. i don\'t know if this relates to the breakfast at all, but i wonder...

I guess it comes down to the contract but that doesn\'t mean **** because half the time the opening bands show up late or take too much time setting up or over play there set and there is nothing the venue does about it most of the time. More than half of the time the Breakfast end up taking the short end of the stick.

it was a bad move taking a setbreak when they did. just starting to kill it then they break. and everyone leaves. not good. place was getting down to, esp during mayfly.

BP\'s old drummer rick looked like he was having a blast.

i agree with having one set...theres always some downtime to get beers/****...but often when a band is playing a bar gig, many people will leave during set break.
