If I was requesting Anchor Drops, SFB, Kimble or something like that, I’d feel the same way. Even something like a Wally that sometimes gets improv. I’ve heard these tunes a million times and seen UM a ton. If I request a Blue Echo, I’m requesting it based on how they’ve played it in the past. A standardish Echo or Synco would be major blue balls. I feel this is implied when requesting these major bangers.
I get what you are saying though. Also, I would have been totally happy with this show given what I’ve heard from UM this year. The AIT and Attachments were both solid and I have fun at UM shows either way. Sometimes I just don’t listen back to them.
Hasn’t Synco always been hit or miss as to whether there’s improv? Echo has almost always been a guarantee but I feel like I saw multiple Syncos over the years with no jam
Yeah Synco is like 1/2 and 1/2 improv or standard but it seems like sooo many of the standard versions happen in the midwest. I have seen somewhere around 90 shows and only once got a Synco with improv (2/14/09).
Yeah that set list was full of great songs obviously had no idea what was going on. But looking back on that show song wise, it was a crazy one for my first show.
