I want to say the same about Divisions, but I’m a people pleaser and I don’t want to upset the hive.

I feel like that is more egregious :joy:

Divisions has had some beautiful jams

I’m pretty sure the hive mind thinks Divisions is more of a set eater than Wife Soup.

Is that right @Bron-yr-Aur ?

Not sure about the hive mind, but I’d choose wife soup over divisions every single time.

I feel like most that I’ve heard have a bunch of drums in it and drum jams aren’t really my thing.

I love both of them but neither does a ton for me live at this point in my UM career. I’d take a Divisions since I feel like it gets played a decent amount less than Soup in recent years. You always know what you’re gonna get with both but at least they’re classic songs

I love Soup and Divisions. Would take them at every show.

Same.

This kitchen took a while to get going but that ending bounce back was sick. Hopefully sign of good things to come this weekend

I have never thought of Wife Soup as a set eater.

Its basically the same everytime, though, so once you catch it a few times, it kinda gets stale

Divisions gets jams and is rare. Fine by me

This is more so what I meant. It’s not like I hate the song, but it’s the same thing every time and I’ve caught it quite a few times.

Wife Soup and Divisions are two of my all time favorite UM songs. The sweep arpeggio in WS and the harmony riff after the drums and buildup in Divisions is what pretty much sealed the deal with them for me.

But if I have to choose one over the other, I’m takin Divisions. But give them both to me at any show any time

That and the harmonized guitar part in the bridge are quintessential UM IMO

Agree. That is the sound i think of when i think of classic UM. Especially the studio sound

If they actually jammed Wife Soup again people on here would be stoked about it. Bring back the jazzy intro and jams!

There are some very long track times in this show…looking fwd to listening

I wish they’d bring back that and the turbo ending

Like the 1.31.2009 one per example

I’ll take a Wife Soup over a non jammed Divisions any day of the week. If they did cool shit with Divisions like they used to back in the day however it would be the other way around.

Def the winner of this show IMO. Small Strides was my second favorite.

I’ll take a set eater that I can scream-sing the lyrics to, has a Joel slow build solo, and has a BB slow build solo any goddamn day of the week over some dumb shit like Educated Guess
