7/10 IDM
7/15 Escape Goat

I remember prowler from January being just as good as any of these. Detroit Mantis too

Uh you forgot 6/18 Frasco Fiasco

Iā€™d actually put 7/8 Wappy up too. A little short but definitely one of the most hard hitting jams I can think of from this year and one of the best peaks

Actually though I always skim but I only pay close attention when they start getting back heavy into jamming. Summer has obviously been the most jammy weā€™ve gotten since the pandUMic.

Gonna check out the Prowler but Detroit Mantis is pretty damn good. Last section is great with that haunting Joel synth layered on top of everything.

7/8 Seasons is stone JOTY for me, nothing else is on the same level. Joel is mfin crushing this shit.

133

Check out 1/21 Prowler and 2/19 U Fir for best Winter Tour jams IMO

134

The Fir is still tops for me. Itā€™s the best Jake playing Iā€™ve heard in UMprov in several years.

Speaking of Firs, it has been 14 shows since the last one, the longest gap of 2022 for that song. Might we get a Fir at Horningā€™s on Saturday?

Good jam, but for me itā€™s not even close to a lot of recent jams.

Just listened to the 7.8 Wappy and 6.16 Plunger back to back on my Macbook Air. The Wappy definitely needs headphones or more robust speakers to completely enjoy whereas this Plunger is still hot even on the laptop audio. Both kick of seconds setsā€¦canā€™t fucking wait till Saturday scratch that Sunday since it will be right around midnight when they kick off the second set at Strummit.

M1 MacBook Air is definitely the LOTY though

Definitely wasnā€™t a flex. I actually have two of the M1s though. One in each color. :slight_smile:

7/8 Wappy is cool but itā€™s maybe the 3rd best jam of that show to me. Itā€™s a great jam but I prefer the Philā€™s and of course that raging Seasons. Not to mention the superb Kabump > Intentions

Listened back to that 6/16 Plunger and it was a lot better than I remember from the stream. First jam is a little Draco-adjacent but overall it takes you on a real journey.

7/16 Dayville and Mulches are really outstanding as well. There really is nothing better than a set or show ending jam. So rare and they always deliver (7/17/10 Girlfriend, 1/27/11 Resofor example)
