Attendance bias and I haven’t relistened, but my first take is that this was up there with penns peak and possibly better. I vaguely remember thinking that there were some disjointed parts, but exploring what they started instead of just moving on to other songs made the show for me. Not expecting them to match this tonight, but whatever - that was some fun shit.

I am convinced he is the only one in the band who knows what makes a good umphrey’s show

Has to be SOTY. Haven’t listened to everything but I feel like Cleveland and maybe Madison are the only other shows I’ve heard that stood out to me.

Really glad I made the trip to Burlington. Last night was a memorable one. Love how much editing they did with planned setlist and letting things breathe. Promising set up for UMbowl…
Back to back 5 song sets FTW.

Fuck yes. During setbreak I was thinking shit i know this is my first time seeing them in 2 years but that mightve been one of the best sets Ive ever seen in person, maybe Im just hype though becaue of the long break. But by the time the show ended I knew it was among the best Ive seen period.
Morning-after bias but off the cuff only 1/27/11 jumps out at me as being a better show Ive attended, and thats the highest praise i can think of.

Great show from start to finish. Without too much thought I’d say likely top 10 of my 95 shows. First time at Higher Ground, good vibes all around.

Absolutely agreed. I had no idea how much I had missed the spooky/evil jams but here I am. When it really gets going, I feel like im listening to a show from 6-10 years ago
