2022/11/12 - UMBowl IX - The Riviera Theater - Chicago, IL

I liked the first set a lot. Probably my favorite Raw Stewage (on par with Vegas year one that had Non-Compliance, Draconian, Stinko’s etc…

I agree that Unevolved tackled too many jams but as long as the 4/14/07 Bridgeless portion remains in rotation I will be a happy camper. That is one of favorite all time UM jams and worked well in this context.

Same tbh. The first two were pretty meh, unevolved was cool, but didn’t think all the middle sections were necessary

Personally i really enjoyed the first 2 raw stews and unevolved. Small Strides is great live, HBB jam in Wappy was cool.

After listening, I feel that they had a fairly good weekend. My only complaint for RS was too much vocal stews, only cuz I cannot understand lyrics due to my hearing loss lol. My top picks were Small Strides, DBK, Front Porch, and appreciating Bayliss’ “getting away from the kids” lol.

Listened again. Legit shocked people think this is better than Friday set 1.

When you consume all those umphrey’s jams in the last 12 years like I personally have, it hits different to see them reworked and brought back in a live setting. Doesn’t mean the DBK wasn’t the highlight of the run though

Thats fair. I love the majority of the jams they used for sections, so fans did a good job of voting at least.

Was with a good amount of people who dont memorize previous years stews and just went into this run blind, and they were blown away by the raw stewage set as well.

Maybe it was a you had to be there thing. But I’ve seen Hangover/DBK/2x2 dozens of times…the Raw Stew set was thrilling and totally unique and the band absolutely nailed the execution of both music and vocals.

Yea, a lot of live music moments dont necessairly come through on the audio. Fine set for Raw Stewage with well executed lego pieces, just was expecting more based on comments. Then i listened to Friday set 1 right after and was back in my 2022 hype mode.

Not my favorite raw stewage set but I enjoyed it! Although not sure why they have to work so many stews into one song. Feels like a bit much.

I definitely feel this way about the last two. The first two seem more cohesive

Those are from ATU. It’s supposed to be from May 2011 at Boondock but they didn’t give the day of the month and the band didn’t stream a show or anything from there back then so I dunno.

Was it from DBS stream? They did something to promote that and there was a live show in studio you could stream.

That was in October 2011 from IV Labs in Chicago.

Pretty sure there were just from some Jake demos that no one has heard before

think I’ve settled on Wide Open and Unevolved being the best of the 5 Stews.
