While I have encore rated out of 10, it only weighs as one.

Total score was 10.8/21.

I respect this method.

I take it back, this math isnā€™t sloppy enough to be Bisco. UM math all the way.

Did you factor in Midwest bias and fluff as .75 of actual value in your equation?

Good point!

Providing a screenshot of an Excel and not freezing my headers just to piss @James off.

I found an error in your math @Whinergetsnothing , or maybe did it wrong, but it was close enough.

Your spreadsheet is giving you 11.7/21 instead of 10.8. also Midwest penalty doesnā€™t apply Iā€™m a NE fluffboi.

You canā€™t add denominators homie.

Yea from a math rule standpointā€¦ but then you need to make encore .01 instead of .1 to keep the encore being a tenth of the weight of the sets.

This is the discussion I always wanted to have on the Bort

@Albert_Ross Your input would also be valuable here

EDIT: Just redid my math and yes I screwed up.

The rule we had in grad school for doing simple math was to grab the nearest undergrad.

I think TLS Rocker 2 epitomizes what bugs me about UM these days

This fir is sick.

wtf is TLS? I feel like the only one here that canā€™t place this riff

The jam from The London Session version.

Yep. That said, the rest of this set is sick. Really enjoyed the fir segment and the spires jam was cool

Highest energy show out of the 4 UM shows Iā€™ve seen this summer, but GR usually always brings the most energy compared to other cities I see UM at. Total hometown bias, but its 100% true

Fir was obvious highlight, and could be my fave dance jam of 2021 without relistening. Also best version of WWS Iā€™ve ever seen live. That caught me really off guard. Itā€™s nice to see this band making this lawn chair venue a place to see them aim for greatness (as best as they can these days).

Something happened during the 2nd Blecho jam. After the first section of the jam was done, jake went to the talkback with a riff made up and was mouthing it for the band. Everyone picked up on it and went to start it but Stasik couldnt comprehend. Then Kris got on the talkback and they eventually went into BTL. Was dissaponting. I know for a fact Jake was ready to cook up a B section
