2.27.08 / 9.1.2008 / 10.7.2009 / 1.22.10 / 2.11.10
Those five shows stand out in my memory as the favorites from a few hundred.
10.3.2008, 11.15.2008, NWSS 2022 are my least favorite attended.
11/5/11
Certainly the most unique show I’ve ever been to. That was so much fun
12/11/04 is the best
Worst I don’t remember
11/6/2014 easily the worst seen
Weight Around, awkward start to Triple Wide. Completely silent room
I just looked at this show, and it looks rough. Hate to see a 46 and 2 go to waste.
Also just had to be there…it was a Stasik, “heavy, pretty, heavy” playlist and it just fell straight on its face. Energy didn’t carry at all. Disjointed playing. Crowd was ready for rowdy-town. Nothing delivered.
I’ve been learning that Stasik shows aren’t really that much better than Bayliss. Is his shows usually the ones with weird covers or is that Joel?

Edit: the original Bill Graham show in Chicago is pretty high up there too. Just a crazy unique experience.
Best: 1/27/11 and maybe 9/16/11 at the Calvin
Worst: 10/31/14 and it’s not even close
Stasik shows are very hit or miss. Solid chance you’ll get a unique song selection but the flow is often wonky.
I was there. Orbit Room. Probably my favorite 2014 show I attended out of 18 shows that year. Red Barn scamp was a lot of fun that year too.
2-1-14. Mirror energy played a big factor.
Fave(s): 6/4/2010, 12/29/2013, 4/21/2017, 7/4/2010
Least: Pretty much every Austin show since 2014
6/5/08 was the best show I’ve attended. But I was still in my infancy stage.
2/1/14 was the only show I’ve seen where it felt like there was something more than music happening. Mirro passing obviously played a huge part.
Best: 7/13/07, 10/27/07, 4/3/08, 9/1/08
This will always be my GOAT, but it was my first and I was so twisted I had no clue what was happening the entire time so I only count it as my first show.
5/8/77
3/29/19 was one of the best nights of my life
Raleigh was so bad and weird. Completely forgettable
