The peak of this milk is so good

Itā€™s definitely a top-tier Milk. The 2/17/12 Columbus version is almost as stellar as this one.

Tough pick between this one and penns peak 2019 for ones Iā€™ve seen.

Also always forget how amazing the LMS is

I think I described LMS in my review of this show on ATU as ā€œAnimals-era Pink Floyd meets discoā€, or some phrase to that effect.

LMS, Bright Lights and GYM > #5 are top tier.

This is probably one of the 5 best shows they have ever played. Not only is the improv fire but there are a bunch of great prog cuts like Search 4, Wizard, and #5

Definitely some heaters. September has some really nice shows iirc. and great soundboard quality.

God bless Chris Mitchell, Mr soundcaresser had to or must go.

Agreed, one of the best shows Iā€™ve been too. First set is top tier start to finish and an excellent encore. Gotta say though that Iā€™m so glad I never have to go to Northern Lights/Upstate Concert Hall ever again. Probably my least favorite venue

Sounds like you werenā€™t at Muncie in 2008.

Capital Region folk know the dump that is that place. For a number of years they filled that medium sized venue for bands that werenā€™t quite big enough for the Palace, but too big for bars. Thankfully that has changed.

Easily the worst place Iā€™ve ever seen um and top 3 worst venues Iā€™ve ever been to

Next to the megachurch

Iā€™ve been to the Palace twice, Anthology once, Wescott once, and Town Ballroom once for Umphreyā€™s. The Wescott was a shithole but the rest were pretty cool venues. Last time I was at the Palace I was so spun but made really good friends with the staff that night. They played that 1348>IC>1348. Great time in Albany! I think upstate New York gets some of the best shows. This thread is a perfect example!
