It sure was. This show only needed 1 set to be in the convo for top 5 shows of the year IMO. Probably hovering at #5(jo) or just outside of it, but still
They conjured up some of that ol’ AvL magic.
SOTYs for me are, in no order, this one, 7/5, 7/4, 6/14, 4/24, 4/27. Earlier west coast run was fire too. Lots of fluff for this year.
that show was awesome.
about an hour in, i remember thinking “this is about as good of an hour of umphrey’s as i’ve seen”
new wings and fir were particularly fun
That setlist looks really fantastic.
Is that @MDean on the far right? Haven’t seen that guy in prob over 10+ years. Had some good times seeing shows with him. He was our underage safe driver for those Feb ‘08 Iowa shows to & from Iowa City each night. If that’s not him, my memory is off a bit, which wouldn’t be a surprise.
I’ve re-watched this twice. So good. That 2nd jam they did after the 1999 dance party in Fir seemed like they could’ve pulled the plug at any point but it just kept going. Like… they were feeling it and didn’t want it to stop.
I’m refreshing Nugs regularly to see if it’s up yet after rewatching my highlights before going to bed last night. Gotta spin this show again it was phenomenal from the couch!
Sure is! Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Would do anything for Deaner
If you’re in regular contact with him, tell I send a warm hello & hope he’s doing well.
Can do
Show is up on Nugs
Great show last night @StoneJackBaller i didn’t get blacked out drunk either. We could’ve held a conversation in full. Looking forward to tonight. Maybe I’ll run into some borters. Security was as chill as they’ve ever been.
Nah crooked was played recently. Maybe professor wormbog. I’d love a funky qbert.
Yeah was hoping @Random_Ass ’s message to Joel would work regarding playing crooked in honor of @UMFree
I think Crooked One’s been left unfinished the last two times it’s been played (8/25 and 7/4), so maybe they could just complete the ending tonight.
That would be really dope
lol I remember ragging on you about that post too
Great 2x2 and Fir jams. Band is playing great right now.
That transition into phils farm has gotta be segue of the year
Fir>Althea>dance jam>fir sounds horrible!
