Made quick friends with someone saying the same thing

Gotta be a dull life staying in the slow lane like this

Man set 2 was so lame. The s2 stuff has really been run into the ground

The other two sets more than made up for it. Fun night

Yeah, my life is really boring. Not as boring as waking up at 930 the morning after UMbowl though!

S2 had a few decent sounding themes, weird names aside.

Morocco Beach party
Medeski Martin and UM
Midnight Chicago subway
Dramatic Escape
even 1 string was OK sounding for being 1 string

I think the just learned to play last week was a joke about the Phish shows, cuz I heard Phish in there. The instrument switches definitely halted any momentum or cohesiveness that was going on.

Puff was what it was. Goofy shit.

IMO, it was better than other S2 they’ve done

I was PC corrected a few weeks back about this. We can’t have anything nice anymore.

s2 is really cool the first time you experience it

This was especially true 15 years ago when it felt cutting edge

I had this bully in high school gym class, dude made me terrified of gym. Choking me, wedgies, head locks etc etc. One day I noticed he was listening to Rush on his MP3 player. Said I love Rush too. This gave him a pubescent change of heart. We became lifelong best friends to this day!

He’s the first timer I took last night, FINALLY giving him a taste of my musical obsession.

And they fucking played Tom Sawyer in the encore.

Bros….

It would’ve been so funny if he hated the show so much that he went back to bullying you.

glad y’all had a good time.

I got to know… did you ever fight back or was it just a “oh hey, we like the same music, let’s hug”?

Craig with the -bort quad post. I knew he had it in him.

Only got to tune in for the first set last night and that shit smoked. They sounded fucking great. Seems like that was the best set of the night but im interested to check out the covers set and @bluish’s S2 theme. Sounds like the rest of S2 is pretty skippable (shocker)

I heard a Medeski Martin and Umphreys clip on reddit. The organ trio style AIT lick is sick

Covers whipped ass. The cock rock section was a bro out

He gave me a free punch to his head right before he graduated. Felt good, knocked him a little dizzy, but we hugged it out.
