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?
The breaks a band takes don't seem excessive in hot summer evenings in a gazebo or cold winter fall evenings after performing steadily for 40 minutes
