Whole show is pretty much on point. Def the upper tier of 2023

I always assumed echo techno was when it was inverted

They’ve always been pretty inconsistent with the blecho labeling. Blue Edho/Blecho/echo techo. Not sure I’ve seen techno echo before

Yet another chance for me to bring up 8/30/19, nothing beats the Stone JOTY

Very good. Pretty is a word that comes to mind.

Damn this draconian peak is monstrous

Its quite possibly their worst song. But the jam delivered so it lives another day

Yeah this Drac is really solid. Would’ve been really nervous if I was there and I heard them go to that major section so early. Glad it was a bounceback

Show is real good, best of the weekend for sure.

First set is a strong A- for me…I can overlook Little Gift be ause the jam here is killer, definitely in the discussion for best ever. And on top of that you get proggy songs/jams in Echo, Wide Open and 2x2.

Second set is more of the same, probably also go with A-, could have been an A with a stronger Plunger but that Draconian crushes.

So good. Love me some Jake octave pedal shit and he really nails the emotional nature of that peak and doesn’t overdo it or default to shredding. Love it.

Wide Open sounded great. You would hardly guess it was their second performance.

That Raw Stewage set is on of my fav sets I’ve seen out of UM, and Wide Open just has so much potential to spawn 20m versions of they open it up in the middle or last section.

That Steppin’ Razor is just straight heat and I really love what they pulled from it to make Wide Open.

Everybody catching that, ā€œOwner of A Lonely Heartā€ theme in night 2 second set…

This 2X2 is pretty awesome. I like whatever is going on around the 11:30 mark.

I was calling Marquee Moon as well.

What is being teased in Little Gift starting around 7:05 but really picking up around 8:00?

Not sure if its intentional or not, but You Keep Me Hanging On.
