I vaguely remember they played 3 sets with two 20 minute breaks, but I’m wondering if those contracts changed when they came back to nightly entertainment.

If I have 20 minutes to check out a band after 6pm, what is the best time to get there to see them playing?

IMO what I have observed Most bands have about 12 song repertoire repeatedly played over and over at each performance. R & R good example plays same old songs every time cause they know audience wants to hear them. which gives about two of performance. Covers most concerts platforms. Most famous bands play same songs over and over that why the preform them so well. So the breaks are fillers before the run out or songs to play that they are efficient at.
