This TBH > Crooked is one hell of a way to open a show.
If you haven’t heard this go do it. Now.
First set is one of the greats all the way through. Believe there’s a small hiccup w/ the transition into Kimble, but everything else is perfect.
Surprised this show was bumped without mention of the best Morning Song ever. That jam is just so moody and unique.
One of my favorite first sets. Look at that song selection mmm.
I rag on UM but this show is still so good. The first set deserves all the fluff it gets. The second set is easy listening good times UM.
There are a ton of good segments throughout both sets.
Decided to give this show a listen tonight. The first set is probably the best set of music I’ve ever seen this band preform. If I only I knew at the time how good I had it. Brought so many first timers to this show. You could put the ticket cost on your tuition bill since it was put on through the university.
Spring 2010 is some great UM. I compiled a Best of Feb and Best of March 2010 CDs that I still listen to in my car quite a bit.
Morning Song (with Stewie Griffin intro) is incredible and the best version. The jam is like a sadder version of the Bright Lights from 12/29/11.
I used to spin this show quite a bit. Like you guys have said, that 1st set is amazing. I always had a bit of a tough time between this Morning Song and the 11/2/06 version. Both versions shine so bright on their own, and each has a ton of other amazing content before them. I can specifically remember the feeling at the Barrymore when they dropped into a jam in MS after what had just gone down with the Spinal-> Grroove Holmes-> Stew…man, what a great f’n night that was.
The good Ol days.
I missed this show because I ran out of money in Ohio and had to sell my Xbox 360 with games to make it to Minneapolis for my 100th show. Hoping I see them in Iowa City in August!
