The Palace Theater in Albany served us buckets of popcorn with our drinks that night and I’m pretty sure @Albert_Ross and I were tossing that shit in the air during that segment. Shit was getting wild that night and that 1348 sandwich is forever etched in my mind.
Nice! Funny because I swear I saw one of my best UM shows that year (6/2/17). But I remember being absolutely in love with that Albany show. I like when UM sounds good lol
Sturgill is the real songbird of our generation. Highly recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through the catalog. He is probably my favorite new musician to come along these past 15 years.
