Enjoying this one a lot. They sound like they are channeling some 06-07 vibes this weekend. Lots of extended soaring jams, Dayville Haunt Fir and Mitten are great.

Dayville is a beast of a vehicle

Yeah it is delivering great old school sounding type 2 jams and honestly itâs one of the best Jake tunes in a decade.

Just finished my first listen of this one. Right up my alley. Perfect set list. Fun jams.

Joel should setlist way more. Seriously, what do you want, Bayliss? This setlist still has plenty of newer songs, both on the new album and otherwise. Only one super obscure one. And it actually flows and allows for like 7 good jams in the same show.
As awesome as the Slacker from Vic is, and as profoundly better than anything from this show, I think Iâd still rather have been âin the roomâ for this one. Consistency FTW. Itâs a fun argument though.

This 2nd set and Vic second set are pretty close and obv this first set is at least a solid B+ so this show def has the edge. Utopian > Haunt > Fir and Dayville > Draco are top shelf segments. Even the short DBK has a cool dânâb jam
The fluidity of the improv this weekend is super impressive. Nothing stalling out, no resorting to Jake chugs or cover jams, no generic funk jamsâŚhope it continues for the Sacred Rose fest

Relistening to this show again, 2nd set is what I remember from my first 5 years seeing UM. Makes me almost want to travel to see them again, almost. Dayville definitely impressed me and Iâm lukewarm the new album. They are doing a far better job integrating the new material than they did with Mantis in 2009.

Haunt jam > Utopian jam is really some A+ 2022 era Umphreyâs.

I feel like the Haunt jam was a little disjointed, at least live. Sounded a little better while relistening to it.
Haunt might be my least favorite jam in this show (a bit disjointed and rushed, but still decent) but thatâs more a reflection of this showâs quality than anything. Utopian > Haunt > Utopian is still an absolute dreamworld segment and the Utopian jam helps get it there IRL for sure.
I do wonder if the bandâs recent anti-cover stance has even translated to how often they played Utopian. It goes on a much longer hiatus than usual, and then when it comes back, The Haunt is in the cover slot? Iâm suspicious 
You could always go back to the original, you knowâŚ

I definitely am OK with all of it too (other than Utopian being on the shelf for a bit too long), but figured I would point it out. Really beginning to wonder if Jake put a condition on him coming back that the band would play less covers.

Cover teases in jams are even very rare lately, which is wild. Itâs cool to hear. The one thing I wish would come back are Jake-on-keys jams.
The Haunt jam sounds good to me. Definitely a song that deserves to be played at least a handful of times per year.
