Bake a cake
Sugar cane sweet
Frosting pink and sticky

Eat it up
Finger lickin' good
Mamma said you can't but I think that you should

Build a car
Hot to trot
Leather chrome and metal

Rock n' roll
Rollin' down the street
Leave 'em in the dust everyone that you meet is crazy

Crazy like a cat
Slippery sleek and lazy

Rub it in the fur
Wax it on the back
Put the cake in the trunk everyone get down

Digital Buddha's coming for you.
With a big old belly and a Fu Manchu.

Gone tomorrow, here today.

Cascade to the rhythms,
Open up your mind.
Cut loose from the furious snakes
Unwind.
Twister in the wind
As we sail through the skies.
Before you mass produce
And digitize.

Rewind to the days of forgotten lore
Take heed what the wise all had in store
Count this time
Nobody recognize
That we're all mass produced
and digitized

In the shadow of the digital buddha are the countless wise
To bring you inspiration that you cannot buy.
In the shadow of the digital buddha are the countless wise
To lift our generation to the highest high.

and left me but the voice
to warm your heart and spark your soul
yet my words they go unheard

He's being nice to set you free
when at my door a knocking sound
in your heart you're free with me
we'll plant our feet deep in the ground

I wish and pray if god could hear
it's not for money, luck or fame
walk with me and without fear
some nights I dream the days became

These words of love I say they said
all while I walk a different path
My love for you not counterfeit
some nights I dream to steal you back.

I wrote this song
To say hello
Just a few words from me

I play it for you
When you're in my bed
Where you oughta' be

And I could be riddled by those secrets
That make you wanna say
Maybe lets go easy

But life has changed
Don't uproot the tree in spring
when all I wanna say

If only you called on the doctor
waited with kitchen mitts, anticipating
you just have to get your hands dirty sometimes
just like mine.

If only like shooting stars fare
You see what you dare
The thoughts travel elsewhere
Why can't you hijack a comet and fly?
Tell me why I always see
We for tea
You and me.

So sweet Georgia
Why must I try
When you like to rob and steal
and all these people tell me to go find someone else
when you never cut me a good deal

So might I have to mention that we should blow them off
18 wheels and a ride
Miles of paranoia, lunatics in jail
And still we're having a good time.

If only you called on the doctor
waited with kitchen mitts, anticipating
you just have to get your hands dirty sometimes
just like mine.

If only like shooting stars fare
You see what you dare
The thoughts travel elsewhere
Why can't you hijack a comet and fly?

Tell me why I always see
We for tea
You and me.

Just like mine
Just like mine
Just like mine","Transcribed by Rich Steele

vast consumption by the fog
seasaw sandy drifting log
level headed cosmonaut
creature living as he's sought

Souls are wrapped around each other.

cynicism in the wick
power down and candle lit
Eucalyptus burning bees
splendid moment, funny tree

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Monarch mission, on the vine.
Kinetic vision intertwined.
Crystal dripping, icicle.
Aquifer is running full.

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Red cliff flux capacitor.
Little trouble finding her.
Royal pepper, tidal wave.
Restless fellow, yearning rave.

Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)

Does the sun revolve around the earth?
Does reflection make the water blue?
Should I forget the dream I had last night?
Or remember it and follow through?

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

Mysticism in my thoughts.
But further now than astronauts.
Dictionary, silent speak.
Maybe in the middle week.

Souls are wrapped around each other.

Reside beneath the covered bridge.
With subtle precious words again
Ray of light break through the roof,
Right on time and bring the truth.

Nighttime frozen in parking lots
Backside winter and I forgot
Early morning china bowls
Silent shell in control

No three color basketball
Mother painting on the wall
Bedtime story, lesson learned
Lifetime mission overturned.

Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)
Souls are wrapped around each other.
(Souls are wrapped around me.)

Does the sun revolve around the earth?
Does reflection make the water blue?
Should I forget the dream I had last night?
Will I ever know just what to do?

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

I ask that question to myself,
I don't know what to do.
Chin is rested in my hands,
I feel like I'm on 42.

I feel like I'm on 42.

Inarguably one of the longest songs in the Biscuits catalog, 42 features repetitive trancey guitar riffs and catchy synth hooks, cryptic lyrics, and the potential for a powerful peak that, at times, would cause even the most seasoned vets to incorrectly call Run Like Hell. 42 alienated some fans at first with its lengthy verses and slow pre-choruses, and at its first performance, 4/3/03, the only jam was a short and very type one solo. The band did not waste any time fleshing out 42, however: it was segued into the first performance and split up by its fifth, 4/16/03--into Run Like Hell, unsurprisingly. By 4/26/03, which featured a standalone 42, the song had a reliable jam section. It was inverted for the first time on 7/26/03, a show which features numerous other setlist innovations such as the second inverted Aceetobee, the first three-part Buddha, and the first split unfinished Shimmy.

The band continued to flesh out 42 for the remainder of Sammy’s tenure, but it wasn’t until Allen joined the band that the song’s full potential as trance juggernaut was realized. It was played twice over New Year’s Run 2005, and nineteen times in 2006 (the most times played after 2003). The song quickly became a centerpiece of the band’s spacey psychedelic sound of 06-07. Important versions include 5/4/06 (mainly for the jam into it but a solid full version as well), 11/22/06, and 6/9/07.

If the song fared well in the early era of 2.0, it was perhaps at its peak in the high-energy later years of 2.0, late 08-early 10. Numerous high-energy, exploratory versions abound from this era, such as 12/27/08, 2/15/09, 4/18/09 (widely regarded as the best standalone version), and 6/6/09.

42 remained a staple of the band's catalog through the setbreak years, with a brief renaissance in 2017-2018. 6/1/17 is a powerful 2009-esque version, while 10/20/18 and 12/29/18 recall more experimental early versions.

Whimsical, a pen in motion, thoughts roll in my mind,
scamper by so quickly now an agile word would find,
well I tried to grasp an angel, saw her wings, and watched her fly
reality for mingling dreams to scurry back and get in line.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

A gallery, a pen in motion, a delightful line instead,
it's chivalry outranks commotion on the roads most common tread,
and on those boots, the clicking heels, the dreams, the angel starts to fly,
to masquerade the world's parade for only seconds at a time.

Apple butter toast is nice,
envisioned on a third wind twice,
my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,
And they missed the perfume.

In a native centered world, one picks the fruit right off the trees,
on a wild blue island in the deep blue seas,
beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes,
the only way I get around is some mild insanity.

after intro, the chord they hit is a F# major played
on the 2nd fret.
They keep hitting this until you get to the next part, which is the part
during the verse too.

the way barber plays this kinda has this shuffle feel to it. the chords dont really sustain at all. for best
results don't press down all the way on the strings
to keep it from sounding too loud, avoiding the heavy
pick attack sound.

Beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes, The only way I get around is with some mild insanity.

The first debut of 1998, Mindless Dribble signalled an important shift in the band’s style and songwriting maturity. It’s challenging lyrics and aggressive style placed it in contrast to the faux-hippie neo-psychedelia of 97-95.

The first few performances of Dribble were completely free of improv, but within a little more than a month the band was beginning to carve out the song’s nascent jam section. There is a tremendous observable growth throughout the year, with at least one must-hear version, 12/30/98 (also noteworthy as the first "happy" Dribble). Other noteworthy early versions include 4/18/98 and 5/2/98.

The song became a major jam vehicle in 1999, the year where most of the strongest versions can be found. The jam section remained fairly standard throughout the year, with a few notable deviations, e.g. the demented, primal 10/28/99 and the fairly blissful 12/30/99 (another "happy" Dribble). The song remained strong through 2000, with noteworthy versions including 10/31/00 (the longest version to date) and 10/6/00, in which the chord progression that eventually gave rise to The Big Happy, Highwire, and I Remember When was debuted.

Dribble remained a strong selection in 2001, with the split-up "happy" Dribble from 3/31/01 widely regarded as one of the best. The song also underwent some important developments in this year. On 4/20/01 (fittingly) the “dub” version of Mindless Dribble was debuted, a part of the larger trend of dubbed versions of Biscuits songs that swept up both I-Man and Floodlights during April 2001. Later in the year, the song became the vehicle for the composed jam that would eventually become known as Strobelights and Martinis. Beginning on 9/1/01, and continuing through the month, every Dribble (with the exception of 9/21/01) would bear the hallmarks of this jam. The section was briefly reprised again in April 2003 and occasionally after Strobelights was debuted as its own song.

Although Dribble remained a staple of the catalog, its appearance grew less frequent in 2.0. It was never shelved, and was often split up to keep it interesting. When not split up, Dribble often fell into predictable patterns that made it less interesting than it had been in the 1.0 era (though exceptions to this rule exist--most notably the Red Rocks Dribble of 5/29/10).

Dribble continued to be a common presence throughout the setbreak era, being played, on average, around once every five or six shows (the striking exception to this is in 2018, when, excluding the dub version from Camp Bisco, Dribble was only played once the entire year). The song had a major renaissance during the "Setbreak is Over" tour of fall 2019. 11/16/19 and 11/17/19 each feature half of a strong split version, and arguably the strongest full version played with Allen took place on 12/13/19.

Save the robots
Where they fall
Another one up
Behind them all

Save the robots
Crystallize
The one you stole
Was in disguise

Freeze your focus
Counteract
Commencing countdown
Turn it back

Refusing moments
Peck out words
Was simply angels
Or maybe

They all make me daydream
Trade my peace for
Day old armies save me
Take my piece and..
They all make me daydream
Trade my peace for
Day old armies save me
Take my piece and
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Behind them all.
Behind them all.
Behind them all.

Save the robots
From themselves
Connect their arms
To yourself

Fearless humans
Playing games
Soldered wire
Into your brain

Antennae haircut
Is really nothing
It frees your hands
For the panic button.

Enslave the robots
Like us in tribes
Build your igloo
In summer time.

They all make me daydream
Trade my peace for
Day old armies save me
Take my piece and..
Go! Go! Go! Go!

Behind them all.

When the song first debuted, it didn't have a name, and a group of fans took to calling it "Splattums" (a description of what happened to your brain when you listened to it). After the band gave the song it's official name, those same fans refused to call it anything but Splattums and continued to label it as such on recordings. Eventually, the band wrote Crickets, and added the "Lookout, splattums!" line in the chorus in the hopes that it would confuse people just enough to force the fanbase to start calling this song Svenghali.

Hi, my name is Sally.
I'm a little munchkin.

","Tablature by Evan Leon:

Introduction:

F# | Bm | C# | C# (repeat)

The next section is the one with the really complicated rhythm that
I don't really know how to transcribe. All I can say is that the
figure is repeated twice on A, then once on F#. Following that,
slide up to A for the first verse section.

For the verse section, Jon plays a short figure in A similar to
the following (but usually different):

Figure 1:
e 9h10p9
B 12 10 10 10 9
G 9
D 11
A 12
E

Play around on that for 4 measures, then break into a reggae-type
strum on an A chord for seven measures, and the words start on the
8th measure:

A
We come from the city,

Bm A (3 measures)
We come from the jungle.

Repeat that part, then to the bridge section:

Bm | D | F# | F#
Bm | D | F# | E A
F# | Bm | C# | C#
F# | Bm | A | A

Then Jon takes a solo over the bridge progression.

ok, when they actually do start the song, barber does this fanning type of
thing that goes like this:
E D C#

D 14 14 14 14 17 12 11

which goes into the simple G > A thing.
(G- on the 3rd fret. A- on the 5th)
Listen to a tape to hear how many beats you play the A before going down
to the G.

Then, after you slow it down at the end with the slow G, slowly strum
these series of bar chords:

E F Ab B D E
E 0 1 4 7
B 0 1 4 7 7 9
G 1 2 5 8 7 9

E 0 1 4 7

Then it goes into the (ooooooohhhh) part, where you just play the A > G
part again.
Which then goes into the bass solo, which marc plays over a Ebm > Bbm7.

Then after the bass solo they play over this progression:

Eb > F# > A > C# > Em > B > F
(play twice, then they jumps into these next 2 riffs, which are played
over a Bm7 > Em.)

“This song is called Basis for a Day, it’s a song you should listen to every day” - Barber, 10/1/98

Stunning and majestic, Basis for a Day is the likeliest candidate for consensus greatest song in the Disco Biscuits catalog. The catalog is replete with 30 and 40 minute versions, three part versions, and numerous versions that are considered among the best jams ever played. The song itself is rather simple: a modern standalone version usually consists of a drawn out intro jam, a composed middle (which features a triumphant two chord riff, a chorus of “whoa”s from the band, a bass slap section (sometimes jammed out, as in a three part version), a (relatively) complex instrumental section, a reprise of the triumphant “whoa” section, and an ending riff), an even more drawn out main jam, and a triumphant peak. After the peak, the band stops, and then plays a quick high-energy jam back into the same peak, after which the ending riff from the composed middle is repeated (this is sometimes known as the tag, or Gimme All Your Fucking Money (GAYFM) section, after a line Brownstein sometimes yells to the crowd).

Because 1995 and 1996 are not represented in the Biscuits archives, it is hard to know exactly how much Basis grew in those early years and how different the modern version is from the early version. Luckily, one Basis from before 1997 is still readily available in circulation: 8/7/96 at the band’s first show at the Wetlands Preserve, immortalized on the earliest edition of Encephalous Crime. This early version is vastly different from the modern version. The intro jam is less than two minutes long, and features a bizarre stream of consciousness narration from Barber. The iconic whoas are absent from the composition, as is the bass slap section, but otherwise the composed middle is fairly similar to modern versions. The main jam is under ten minutes and sees the narration from Barber continue. Rather than building to the distinctive peak, the main jam breaks down, at which point the band plays the ending riffs, and build up to a crescendo before dropping back into that riff.

Until May 2020, the earliest extant Basis on Archive was 1/30/97, but that changed with the release of 1/17/97 from the vaults. The Basis on this version has some notable differences from the EC Basis: the first whoas are sang, and the ending is different: rather than building straight to the ending riffs, the jam builds up to the distinctive Basis peak that we know today, after which there is a tag section which builds up to the ending riffs (the peak is not played a second time). At some point after 8/7/96, but no later than 1/17/97, this iconic peak riff was added. 1/30/97, the first three-part Basis and for years the earliest extant Archive Basis, saw further developments to the song structure, namely the addition of the distinctive bass slap section to the composed middle. This section developed organically out of an intro jam, led by Brownie, into the middle of Basis.

After 1/30/97, there are another eleven versions of Basis from 1997 available on Archive. 2/22/97 is the first version in which the band plays the peak a second time in the tag section, although this didn’t become standard right away (3/25 and 4/12 are not played this way, for example). 3/25/97 and 5/13/97 feature more of the bizarre stream of consciousness narration present on the EC version. 3/29/97 is a somewhat odd version in which the band almost inverts the song, playing the peak before dropping (somewhat clumsily) into an intro. After 5/31/97 there are no Bases on Archive until 11/17/97; despite this gap, the song doesn’t seem to have grown much, although the band is playing tighter. The band played a Basis ending on 12/27/97 and followed up the next two nights with full versions of Basis, illustrating how important the song had become to the catalog by then. 12/28/97 is the longer and stronger version, and features an interesting type two breakdown (shades of Aceetobee and perhaps Peter Gunn from Barber?) towards the end of the main jam that showcases Magner’s new electronic synth capabilities.

The first golden era for Basis began in 1998. Basis was played 34 times in 1998, and of this number 25 have survived into circulation on Archive. The first Basis of the year is short and unassuming, not at all portentous of the song’s future role as the band’s heaviest hitter of the year, but the second version is a massive two song pairing, an over 50 minute Run Like Hell > Basis for a Day combo that skyrocketed both of these songs into the stratosphere. Other important early 98 versions include 3/21/98 Law and Order Theme > Basis, the 4/2/98 medley (which features an impressive DJ segue out of the bass slaps to a Shem-Rah intro), 4/18/98 Vassillios > Basis (featuring, of all things, a didgeridoo, but more importantly the first Basis to feature a trance jam), and 5/2/98 Basis > Dribble > Run Like Hell > Basis (another important show for Run Like Hell, as well as Dribble). Basis turned another corner on 7/3/98, which featured a nearly 40 minute version of the song, by far the longest yet. This version is emblematic of all the developments in the song over the course of 1998: the intro jam is ten minutes long, thematic and interesting in a way the earlier versions were not. The main jam is over 23 minutes even if you don’t include the tag, a relentless breakneck 98 style trance jam that had become the norm for the song. It holds up to modern versions as one of the best Bases ever. Basis was particularly strong for the remainder of the year, with important versions including 8/15/98, 9/9/98, and 12/29/98 (the last of which was included on the reissue of Encephalous Crime).

“The song’s called Basis for a Day… and it changes over time as the band changes over time. And so we took a really hot version from a couple weeks ago, digitally mastered it, and put it on the end of the album, so the album’s a little more up-to-date than it used to be.” - Barber, 2/05/99

The meteoric rise of Basis continued into 1999. Two very solid versions, 1/21/99 and 1/26/99, preceded a monumental version, 1/29/99, which at the time was probably the best version ever played. The band followed this with a nearly 40 minute version on 2/5/99 that is a little bloated at times and overall not as strong as the 40 minute version from 7/3/98. After this version it was nothing but smooth sailing for Basis in winter 1999. The next version, 2/10/99 (also an important date for M.E.M.P.H.I.S.) featured the first jamming on the middle of Basis, or out of the bass slap section, a trend that continued sporadically throughout the year and beyond. 2/19/99, which opens with the powerful Pygmy > Basis ending combo, is the first dyslexic Basis and arguably the first dyslexic Biscuits song (there is a Harry Hood from 1996 that is notated as dyslexic). Other standouts from the rest of the tour include 2/25/99, 3/6/99, and 3/18/99. A short anecdote from 3/27/99 stands out as evidence that Basis had become the most important song in the catalog. The band had left the stage after the encore, but were determined to play the end of Basis one more time before tour ended. They got back on stage for a second encore, a less than ten minute Waves > Basis. Although it is perfunctory, it demonstrates just how important it was to the band that they tied up their loose ends.

Since Basis was a microcosm of the band’s state, it continued to grow in spring and fall 1999. The first Basis of the spring tour was played at the legendary Trocadero show on 4/9/99. The classical cover The Thieving Magpie was debuted out of the main jam, and the ending was once again played in a Waves > Basis combination, this one considerably more fleshed out and considered by some to be the greatest Biscuits jam of all time. Another contender for that same accolade can be found on 4/17/99 in the legendary Shimmy > Basis pairing, the second Basis of the tour. After a solid standalone version on 4/23/99, another legendary Basis was performed at the storied Wetlands Preserve on 5/1/99, with a Basis > Vassillios > Basis anchoring the first ever palindrome set. After three out of the first four Bases of tour being legendary versions, the song remained a consistent heavy hitter for the remainder of the tour, with a particularly solid standalone version performed on 5/27/99, and with an excellent split version sandwiching the second inverted Boop on 6/13/99. Another important development for the song occurred on 5/14/99. Jamming on the middle section had become more common in the winter, but was taken to a new level when Basis was jammed out of and split at the middle section, with a particularly intense and primally psychedelic jam from Bernstein back into the Basis bass slaps.

There weren’t many significant developments to Basis in fall 1999, although just about every version from this tour is worth hearing. The most worthwhile of these are 10/6/99 (a 40 minute version widely considered the greatest standalone) and 10/28/99 (in addition to one of the best endings ever, Basis is teased and faked out throughout the show and as part of the “Spagopera”). The final Basis of the year was ending only, used as the final destination for the 100+ minute Akira jam, one of the Biscuits’ crowning achievements.

With the departure of Marc Brownstein from the band at the beginning of 2000, Basis entered its first lull in years. The first show of the year, 3/11/00, featured a Basis with Sammy on bass and Mauricio on percussive synths (the format that all the original Munchkin Invasions and Crickets were played in). The same lineup played a Basis > Helicopters > Basis sandwich on 4/22/00. These versions have their merits but overall are particularly ineffective, especially in the composition. The song was played twice more before the core four properly reunited, in full on 6/27/00 with Jordan Crisman on bass, and ending only on 8/19/00 with Pauly Herron (of Electron et al.) on percussion. The 6/27 version is particularly worthwhile, with a triumphant and unconventional intro jam and a powerful ending.

On 10/13/00, the core four performed a full Basis for the first time since 10/28/99. The roughly 38 minute version featured drawn out intro and main jams and a perfunctory middle jam, and signalled the beginning of the second golden age of Basis. Although the 10/13 version has moments of staleness, particularly in the main jam, it is a very solid version overall, and just about every version from the rest of the year is worthwhile. In particular are 10/21/00, 10/27/00 and 11/11/00: 10/21/00 is split up and sandwiched between Jigsaw Earth, in a brilliant Jigsaw > Basis > Jigsaw > Basis > Jigsaw segment that is one of the best of the year, and standalone Bases open the second set of 10/27/00 and the first set of 11/11/00, and these are often regarded as the year’s strongest. A unique dyslexic Basis can be found on 11/3/00; the show opens with the tag section, and an otherwise full Basis is played in the second set, with a full Barfly replacing the tag.

The golden age of Basis continued into 2001, although there aren’t many important versions from the spring tour. Some major exceptions include 4/1/01 Basis > Waves (><) > Basis and the excellent 33 minute standalone on 4/6/01. Basis made an important comeback on 7/5/01, with a majestically interwoven pairing of Crickets and Basis anchoring the second set. In the fall tour Basis was a regular powerhouse once again. The second show of the tour, and final show at the Wetlands Preserve, 9/2/01, featured a powerful 35 minute standalone Basis in the third set. 9/15/01 Basis > Ape (><) > Basis is a fan favorite segment and considered by many to be among the best versions of both songs. And 11/1/01 features a spectacular Basis that cracks the 40 minute mark, the first to do so. But perhaps the strongest version of the year can be found on 9/12/01, in which the band delivered a powerful and emotionally resonant Basis the day after the national tragedy.

Spring 2002 suffered an even greater dearth of meaningful Bases than did spring 2001. The tour in general was extremely song-heavy and lighter on stretched out jams, so it isn’t altogether surprising that a powerhouse like Basis suffered. Those interested in the era should check out the 3/6/02 version (generally considered to precede the overly song-y stretch of spring 02) and maybe 4/29/02 (from a Meatcamp set that is overflowing with heavy hitters), but the rest of the tour can largely be written off. Basis began to get interesting again in the summer (worth checking out are 8/17/02 Judy’s > Basis and 8/24/02 Frog Legs > Basis) and by the fall it had once again attained heavy hitter status. The polarizing “almost palindrome” of 10/2/02 is bookended by an excellent Basis, and 10/26/02 features another strong version of the song, but the two titans of 02 are undoubtedly 10/18/02 (Rock Candy > King of the World > Aquatic Ape (><) > Basis is some of the best music of the year) and 11/9/02 (the entire thing is excellent, but the intro is transcendent). 11/9/02 was the last Basis of the year, making 2002 the only year in which Basis was not played over the New Year’s run.

Although in previous years Basis seemed to dip in quality during the spring tours, spring 2003 is actually a particularly strong era for Basis. The first Basis of the year was played on 4/6/03, a 46 minute standalone (the longest standalone at the time and for over a decade afterward) that is highly regarded as one of the best. The next version of the year, 4/17/03, is another highly regarded version, particularly for the intro and middle jams. The other versions from the tour (split versions on 4/25/03 and 5/4/03, and an ending only version on 5/26/03) are solid as well. In the summer, Basis was played on 7/2/03, and then sat on the shelf for a then-unprecedented 17 shows, until it was dusted off for a monster final-set-centerpiece at the mythical Trancemission festival on 8/16/03. It then sat on the shelf for a whopping 27 shows (still its longest gap ever) until it was played again on 12/31/03. This Basis was central to the New Year’s Eve gimmick: It closed out the first set, but was left unfinished as the band jammed with the New Deal into their setbreak set. At the end of the New Deal’s set, the Biscuits gradually came out for another New Deal/Biscuits jam that segued into the end of Basis, complete with New Year’s countdown.

In the twilight years of 1.0, Basis stayed in the rotation but seemed to have lost some of its luster. It was played six times total with Sammy in 2004-2005. Of these, the only one really worth hearing is the standalone version played 12/29/04 as the second part of the encore. Fans who left to beat the traffic as the band started up Eulogy were no doubt dismayed to learn that, not only had the band treated the remaining faithful to an excellent Basis, they had reprised the jam that would eventually become Gangster in the intro jam.

With Allen joining the band, Basis regained its status as a once-every-five-shows song (from 2003-2005 it was more a once-every-eight-or-nine-shows song). Allen’s first Basis was on New Year’s Eve 2005, and he tackled the song on sixteen occasions in 2006. As he grew more and more comfortable with his place in the band, so too did the Bases he played become gradually more confident. There aren’t many must-hear versions from 2006, but they can be found towards the end of the year: 9/23/06, 11/4/06, and especially 11/25/06 all have moments of greatness.

Like the song’s golden age in 1.0, the golden age for Basis in 2.0 coincides with the golden age of Biscuits 2.0, beginning sometime in 2007 and ending sometime in 2009. The first extant version of 2007, 5/20/07, was the first best Basis of the year, and strong versions from the summer and fall include 6/28/07, 8/17/07, 10/12/07 and 11/4/07. In early 2008 monster versions of Basis were incorporated into jam-heavy three and four song sets, such as 1/19/08’s I-Man > Nughuffer (><) > Basis or 3/1/08’s Triumph > Shelby (><) > Basis (both excellent versions). In the summer, strong versions of Basis were played at major festival appearances, including 6/7/08 at Starscape and 6/13/08 at Bonnaroo.

2009 was arguably the strongest year for Basis in 2.0, with 6/5/09 and 9/19/09 being some of the best versions of the song for any era. In 2009 the three-part Basis became ubiquitous. 1/24/09 saw Basis split into beginning/middle, end and tag, but the first proper three-part Basis since 1/30/97 was played on 2/27/09 (beginning) and 2/28/09 (middle and end). This is, in fact, the first four-part Basis (in practice, the most number of pieces Basis can be split into), since the tag is played separately as well. Another three-part Basis was played over the New Year’s run, and the trend continued into later years.

After 2009 there were considerably fewer meaningful versions of Basis, although the song remained a catalog staple and guaranteed crowd pleaser. 1/31/10 and 3/15/10 are solid pre-wristgate fare, although nothing groundbreaking, and 7/8/11 is a strong portion of a strong show. Basis was played almost exclusively as a three-part or four-part song in 2012 and 2013, and remained stagnant until an earth-shattering standalone performed at the Mann Center on 9/27/13 as part of City Bisco. Breaking the 47 minute mark, it is the longest standalone Basis played, breaking the record previously held by 4/6/03 by over a minute. In addition to its length, it is widely considered the strongest Basis of the setbreak era (and one of the strongest of any era).

Basis continued to recover ground as the band did, and was mostly solid in 2014 and 2015. In 2016, Basis entered what might be called a silver age, with mostly solid versions appearing over the next four years. Basis also became more common, played a whopping seven times each year in 2016 and 2017, the most since 2010. After a few strong performances in 2016, most notably 2/6/16 at the Fillmore Philadelphia, Basis was inverted for the first and only time on 7/16/16 at Camp Bisco in one of the most memorable sets of the setbreak era. 2017 is similarly solid, with strong versions on 2/4/17 at the Fillmore, and 12/31/17 at the Playstation Theater, in what was also the most recent three-part Basis.

After two strong years, Basis was not played for over six months and 18 shows (its second-longest show gap and longest since 2003). It made its reappearance as the encore of the final night of Camp Bisco, 7/14/18, and was played twice more that year. The latter, played 12/28/18, is a particularly unique and interesting version with a wide variety in synth choices. After another strong performance on 1/31/19, Basis disappeared for another 18 shows until reappearing in November, its longest calendar gap. The Basis delivered on 12/31/19 is excellent, one of the strongest versions of the past decade.

Basis has been a staple of the band’s catalog for decades, nearly since it was written. It has been played more times than any other song except for two: Morph and I-Man. Disappearances of more than ten shows are very infrequent.
