I love the new material, mostly, don\'t get me wrong. But I think it\'s good for the band and the fans if they keep most of their songs pretty much always in solid rotation. At least the ones we all know are their best.
THERE WE GO

Psychedelic Breakfast / The Breakfast has too many kickass songs to neglect them for long. And I doubt they will.
This is like any other new song break-in phase. Except its a little heavier this time around because 2 new members have fresh contributions to the band.
Give the new songs some time to break in and we\'ll be seeing the old tunes back in full rotation. I\'m surprised Tribal and Queeb have been getting much love lately, you know, I\'m sure Chris can play any Psychedelic Breakfast song, but there\'s probably a few he\'s getting into right off the bat.
Prob the other oldies they are saving until they have been fully remastered in practice sessions.

they still need new tunes that are monster jammers like the old ones though. keep the funk and rock alive, i like the jazz, but i got turned onto TB because of the funk and rock.

No one is saying that we don\'t want to hear the songs again. What I\'m saying is that since this is basically a new band that kept the old name, they should move on as a new band and start fresh with their own tunes and play a couple old tunes when they feel like it.
-
i dont know why they cant play old songs...no other band will be playing them! whats the big deal? the more songs in a band\'s bank, the better. PB had a LOT of quality older songs. id much rather hear them in rotation then NEVER HEAR THEM AGAIN!
-
As much as I enjoyed seeing the Other Ones, it was a project by original dead members trying to keep the flame going.
-
alright i got it... the other ones......
-
Which were for the most part side projects relying heavily on dead material. Look, I don\'t mean to sound like I don\'t want to hear any of the older tunes, but I think that look towards the future rather than relying on the past.
-
so it\'s like Ratdog and Phil and Friends
-
I don\'t think that the dead are a good comparison. Up until Jerry died, the band still had all but one of it\'s original members. TB has 50% new members, it\'s a new band.
-
I think you may have misinterpreted my point. The growing catalogue of new tunes is what\'s exciting everything about their shows for me. Like seeing Phish in \'98, I\'d be stoked to hear all of Ghost-- throw in Fluffhead somewhere and I\'d dump in my pants. Maybe it isn\'t the best comparison because the original lineup was intact :chin: . But I\'m ALL for them having enough new material to span an entire show, but would be devastated if they abandoned their songs that I fell in love with in the first place, especially with the new blood finding the groove so quickly and so well.
SET1
dead air
Feel Like a Stranger
Dire Wolf
Minglewood Blues
Brown Eyed Women
Wang Dang Doodle
Big Railroad Blues
Let it Grow
Day Job
SET2
China Cat Sunflower
I Know You Rider
Playin\' in the Band
China Doll
Drums
Space
7
Throwin\' Stones
One More Saturday Night
ENCORE
Brokedown Palace
That\'s probably not the best example (but I was only looking at the shows on stash.nugs.net) but the grateful dead were able to do an okay job and rotating old (brokendown palace, china/rider) and new songs (stranger, throwin\') with some frequency and balance.
[The obivous counter point is that songs like "Allegator" disapeared with Pigpen and "Sunrise" with Donna]

I understood you comment, but I have a feeling that a lot of people are waiting for them to bust out all of their old tunes. I personally think that they should willingly turn the corner on a new phase of the band and use the older tunes sparingly, not the majority of a set.
Absolutely. I\'m with you.

My thought is that half the band is new; the focus should definitely be on new tunes. The old tunes are great, but they should build up a catalogue to the point that they can do a show entirely on material that "this band" wrote with a couple older tunes to supplement. I\'m sure that my comments will **** off fans of the classic tunes, but lets be fair to Matt and Chris and let this be their band too, rather than being replacements for Ron and Jordan.

gladys. can\'t wait, shouldn\'t be long now
and i\'m probably one of the only people totally jones\'in for escher\'s 3 +4. i\'m tellin ya, when that song finds it\'s groove it\'s gonna be amazing. ya heard it here first, it\'s gonna take the TOT \'09
I\'m a huge fan of 3+4. I hope you\'re right peaches, and I\'ll be the first to give you full credit for standing as the strong, lonely minority. Consider me your E.E.T.F. secretary. Is that weird?

I like all the new tunes to some degree, but we still need a new one that is straight-up epic.

With the bustout of all the noobs, the classics have gained new life. I love the fact that the older heavy hitters are gradually becoming (more and more) rare and special at any given show. The "Awww **** what are they gonna\' bust out??!!" factor is swelling.
And I can\'t believe how fast Chris has picked this **** up, regardless of how long he had been practicing with the band before his announcement. It\'s really incredible.
I was wondering-- if The Breakfast had a one set show and played 8 tunes, 7 of which were the noobs, what would be your pick for the old original fill.. Be creative with a segue or sandwich too.

or maybe a simpler
