1st set: A
2nd set: B+
Encore: A (an actual exploratory August jam in the encore. Who knew? And that solo was killer)
Overall: A-, but if I were feeling nice a very low A. I’d be happy with this show anytime. Whenever they jam as much as they did this show they’re bound to hit it out of the park at least a couple times.
Stasik was right on top of things the whole show. Instant creative basslines the second jam sections started. Really helps move things along.
Not a big fan of the song selection overall. Also this show looks like it suffers from one-tempo syndrome. Basically every song except for HBB and Tinkles has the same mid tempo rock beat behind it.
Looks like the consensus was that it was an above average show. Excited to listen to it today.
Fuck Tourgigs though. Or maybe just Umphrey’s? Kris’ in the round wasn’t Tourgigs and that was a steaming pile of shit from a streaming point. Common denominator is KB here
Fwiw, TourGigs didn’t see anything wrong on their side in the first set, but the issues in The Linear and Miss Tinkle’s Overture were made clear to them (ahem). So they switched up something for the second set and that seemed to have worked.
Let’s hope they fucking fix it for all of tonight, starting with Ste One.
I don’t believe this guy works for the band, I know he produced The Boondock Build so he’s involved but to blame every users modem and to suggest that going through these steps for a stream to work is a joke.
