I was at all these shows and I think the never miss a Sunday show rule is happily debunked by those two West Coast clunkers. TRX was sick though and I was really bummed they cancelled the makeup date in September 2021.

They tried to get so many people to go but the ice storm was fucked. Glad I didn’t make it.

Cops were walking up and down the aisle. No alcohol. Tobacco free campus. No re-entry. They left some lights on in auditorium. Whole vibe was off. Easily my least favorite attended but it’s not the worst music they’ve played. Not really close. Took me a while to see that.
Experience: 6/8/12 or 5/3/14
Music: 10/18/12
The reverse had to be there experience
Bijou shows from 08, Music Farm from 15 and 17 are a few that I’ve never really listened and those are pretty fire.

Those just come to the top of my head at first thought. The Boulder Acoustic show was a blast, the first mashup show was pretty awesome, Traverse City was a banger, the first Belly Up show was a ton of fun, and Asheville 2010 was fucking magic. I’m at 252 shows now and I’ve seen a lot of good ones in there. I always tend to gravitate to life in my early 20s. Maybe cause it all changed when my buddy OD’d in 2011. Anyway, I’ve seen a bunch of good shows since he passed too I think I just hold on tighter to the memories of life when he was still around.

Favorite: 10/29/11
Worst: 4/13/12
That 4/13/12 show is god awful. Prob worse than the Valentine’s Day show I hate
that Vday show (assuming you’re talking about the raleigh one) is surprisingly good on relisten. Sloppy as all hell, but really interesting setlist and jams
