Just reviewed the highlights of this weekend. My list of Hall of Fame-worthy:
4/28 Bridgeless
4/28 Kitchen
4/28 Crooked (this is borderline, but it’d be a good raw stewage lego, and damn do I love that peak/key change)
4/29 Mantis
4/29 1348
4/29 Escape Goat
It was a slightly good weekend.
4/28-4/29 has to be one of the better back-to-backs in recent memory. I think you’ve grabbed the top ones. With that said, and speaks to how solid both shows were, 4/28 Spires, SS, MV, Believe the Lie and 4/29 Plunger and Higgins also decent stuff.
I think it’s their best back to back, post pandy IMO.
Yup. They’ve had a couple of really solid shows within the same run, but not back-to-back from what I remember. I could listen to both of these shows start to finish. The jams and song selection are just great. Take away the haj and standardish MO from night two and I wouldn’t be upset with any of the songs or placement (I never factor in encore).
I’m thinking of doing an in-and-out for Buffalo and Huntsville then the 3 MT shows if I can get off of work…one of my co-workers is off that week I’ve discovered so it might be tough.
If no MT then I’ll shoot for the yet tba shows the week after…
I would say these are better for my tastes:
1/14 and 1/15/23
3/2 and 3/3/23
7/14-7/16/22
8/24 and 8/25/22
Wonder why these aren’t Nugs’d. I like the look of these shows.
I’ll admit to recency bias and that your taste is pretty good too
Edit- it is on Nugs.
Threw this water bridgeless on now. The water is so so good.
I did eight shows in ten days that stretch (Urbana through DC but skipped Charleston) and while the Knoxville shows were sick, the Milwaukee and DC shows were even better. The Dump City from Milwaukee is one of the best versions of that song from my perspective.
I did 10 in 10 (including the Moos/Conspirator show) for the NE run 10/9 - 10/18. Then the Knoxville shows. 2008 was great. Gonna queue up Milwaukee and DC from your rec.
2.24 All in Time is so good. The entire jam is good but the 2nd half is so damn locked in. Pure melodic driving dance, in the same vein as 1.14 Silent Type and 4.29 Escape Goat.

I have to relisten, will probably do that next week when my wife is up on LI. I don’t know about those pics but I definitely would list 2-3 from the 3 CO shows.
I’m still new to this. Very excited about last weekend.
