Author Topic: Top 5 shows of 2006 (Read 3742 times)

SO it was a turbulent year in Breakfast land but the band still rocked the land from coast to coast, as a quartet or trio.
Now that the year is over and we look back on all the shows played in 2006, time to rank them by general consensus.

We can decide on 2 catagories(quartet/trio) if enough people feel it is needed.

Standard ranking rules apply. Pick the top 5 shows.

Your #1 gets 5 points, your #2 gets 4 points, your #3 gets 3 points, #4 gets 2 points, #5 gets one point.
Shows that you list can either be shows that you attended or shows that you listened to (via webcast, download, b+p, archive, whatever).

If you choose to just list 5 in no particular order they will all recieve 3 points.

I figure 2 weeks should be enough time for eveyone to chime in yeah?

Here\'s mine

1) 3/23/06 Crown Room @ Crystal Bay Casino; Crystal Bay, NV
2) 3/24/06 Conneticut Yankee; San Francisco, CA
3) 4/20/06 Club Metronome; Burlington, VT
4) 1/28/06 Mezzanotte Lounge; Syracuse, NY
5) 10/27/06 8th Annual Fonghoulish Freakout: Toad\'s Place; New Haven, CT

thats awesome they played a bday setlist for him! this got me thinking...through listening to the many shows streaming from this site i noticed the band used to do can food drives occasionally in the past. they would give out cds and such for the people who brought the most cans in. i always thought that was a cool idea and was curious if they planned on doing that at any of the upcoming shows. maybe they could include a \'setlist\' charity auction too and have the highest bidder choose a set for that show (beforehand obviously) and maybe donate the money to a charity or something. just thinking aloud here not trying to step on anyones toes or anything. id be more than happy to help out with a canned food drive at the upcoming syracuse shows.

SallyAlli I\'m surprised my #2 isn\'t on your list, you got your Price is Right that night

I only feel "qualified" to rate shows that I attended, since, as we all know, the notes played ain\'t everything. Being that I only made it to five shows (my lowest for a FULL year as a Breakfast fan ever), it makes it a little easier in that I don\'t need to leave anything else. Anyway:

#1: 10/27/2006 - Fonghoulish Freakout VIII, Toad\'s Place
#2: 07/07/2006 - Jordan\'s Last Show, Beardslee Castle
#3: 06/17/2006 - 1000th Show, Toad\'s Place
#4: 01/21/2006 - Daniel St.
#5: 07/26/2006 - Rocks Off Boat Cruise

I\'m sure my list will be radically different from the lists of those who hit up 15 or 20 shows, but I still feel like I caught some great ones.
