Empire Strikes out

Dark Brush lyrics are very homo-erotic. I like it

Well that was fun as shit.

This was a ton of fun, but not something I’ll listen back to much. Tinkle’s got pretty far out there though, Dump had a nice short weird>uplifting jam, and the sitins were great. Having Billy sit in on Voodoo had to be a dream choice for them, and it played out about as well as you could hope. A lot of people in the upper level that had been sitting down the whole show stood up for Voodoo Child and didn’t sit down the rest of the show. They made some new fans tonight :slight_smile:

I have a feeling Jake was heavily involved in the making of this setlist. So many Jake-centric tunes of all genres (Eat, Deeper, Voodoo Child, Attachments, Dark Brush, etc.) Good to see Dark Brush isn’t dead yet either!

Tonight was officially a sellout! Three nights next year? :slight_smile:

Hearing Ben was having a lot of technical difficulties last night? Saw Dark Brush and the lights didn’t really kick in until about halfway through the song. Poor guy

There was one point where a song ended and the lights kept strobing the whole time they took in the break between songs.

He was having issues with a faulty cable.

My thoughts exactly.

If I saw that first set on paper for a show I didn’t attend I would undoubtedly hate on it, not many of those songs are my favorite, but it really hit the spot for me last night. The only negative thing I have to say about last night and the night before is that there weren’t nearly enough Bayliss solos

This show was hit and miss. Glad to catch a Made to Measure and the Tinkle’s was above average, but otherwise I kinda hated this first set. Then the Dump through Night Nurse was good, but not much else in the second set or encore.

Should be noted that there were Xxplosive teases in Made to Measure.

Did the 15th really sell out?!

Man, I’m already a huge BMFS fan, but I’m just so impressed how well he sits in with bands. Been seeing UM a long time, and rarely are sit ins this strong.

Any word on phreaks who never hard if Billy and we’re floored by him? The pic of his merch line after his set is priceless—mile long.

Agree on all fronts. Not a great show. The Tinkles was a lot of fun. But the first set was awful. I’ve never been more bored at an UM show…and the horns sit in was horrendous.

The second set however was A LOT of fun! Dump through Night Nurse is a phenomenal segment imo (especially the NN). The Voodoo Chile got everybody up as Kev said and that energy continued through the end of the set.

Had a blast at these shows both nights. Night 1 was much better imo though. Anybody going to the Joel show tonight?

I really liked the tinkle in set 1, as well as the night nurse in set 2.

Also I don’t see anyone mentioning the Edgar Winter Group - Frankenstein teases in Voodoo Child around the 8min mark (see listening guide)
