Not sure when else it’s happened, but immediately thought of the 3/22/07 Madison Eat > Crooked One > Fuzz > Crooked One > Eat last night.
Last night smoked, best Madison show in quite some time!
Thought I heard a Smell the Mitten tease in Mail Package and Billie Jean in Escape Goat. 1348, Staircase, Escape Goat, Nemo, Tinkle’s, Nurse and Draconian are all worth the listen, but really just a great all around show.
This made me think of @CarpetCrawler mentioning that the only Madison show he’s missed was because Neil Young was in Milwaukee the same night. Glad you made it last night Josh!
The last time I can recall Cinammon Girl being played was in 2013. I want to say it was either in Buffalo or Burlington but don’t hold me to that. It was somewhere in the NE, at least
I think they’re still regaining their groove with post-surgery Myers but there is definitely a lot of progress happening. Only show I’ve caught this year is Seattle, and it was good, but not as good as when I saw them in Missoula last year.
That was actually the 4th time I’ve caught UM covering that. Their debut on 12/30/06, Summerfest ‘07, Bluebird ‘08 & last night. Also saw the 7/31/97 Phish debut in California.
…and yes, also to @LarrySellers point, the only Madison UM show I’ve missed since 12/1/2001 was the June ‘03 Terrace show when Neil Young was in MKE. Thanks to @DiabetesCOLE that streak continues. I had not planned to go last night and was only gonna do GB, but Cole made an offer I couldn’t refuse. What a great experience & can’t thank him enough.
So many more UM highlights ever since the Penns Peak show compared to how 2024 started out. They finally figured out the dance yams are bringing the creativity.
Working my way through this show this morning. Really solid playing all around. Definitely a few songs I’d have liked to hear this weekend but nothing that really hurts bad. Making me hyped for tonight.
Cinnamon Girl track time is 2:33. Didn’t know UM could play a song so short.
