I need to recommend 2015/08/06 to those who have not heard this.

Contender for my favorite “modern day” moe. show. Listening now for the first time in a while.

Highlights in set 1 are the monster St. Augustine and Flo, Set 2 is flawless. I mean what setlisting.

Set 1: Annihilation Blues, Blue Jeans Pizza1, St. Augustine1, Lost Along the Way1, White Lightning Turpentine 1> Don’t Fuck With Flo1

Set 2: Puebla1> Brent Black1, Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys1,2> Water1, Four1> Moth1

Encore: Hocus Pocus

Best seguefest I got to catch in the moe. glory days
11/9/01 Tipitina’s - New Orleans, LA

1: Spaz Medicine, Sensory Deprivation Bank, Can’t Seem To Find > Opium > lylelovit., Okayalright

2: Livin’ Again > Big World > Lazarus > Time Ed > Recreational Chemistry*

E: Bad Moon Rising

** With “Top 10 Things Vinnie Is Most Likely To Say” tease.*

2nd set was a few minutes short of 2 hours. Time Ed and Chemistry were an hour. It’s up on archive and worth the listen. The 3 minute botched bad moon rising encore was fine after that monster 2nd set.

my favorite in-person moe.segue fest turned into Dr. Stans prescription 2 takes me back to the second moe.down

moe. Mondays this week is my first ever moe. show. Segue into Don’t Fuck with Flo was awesome. What a treat to catch that my first show.

Totally overwhelmed by that show. One of my first non-bluegrass jam shows, besides one show each of STS9 and SCI. Never had much of a tolerance for weed and ate a big edible and smoked a bunch as soon as we got in the venue and I was absolutely flying that whole night.

Two months later I would ultimately buy a ticket to my first summer camp where I’d catch my first UM show and meet my now wife. Good times.

Super jacked up about the drive-in show at Vernon Downs that was announced today.

Y’all know they have a new studio album, right?

Damn. Too far for me or I’d consider it.

Yeah kind of a hike for me but i’m dying for some live music and will be my first show of 2020 if I can get a ticket. So fuck it.

If it were Saturday I might force it. Just won’t be off of work in time. It’s 4.5 hours for me.

Ya I have a ton of PTO to burn so taking a half day. Probably a much bigger pain in the ass for you coming from the city too.

Yeah. Renting a car. We also move on the 2nd. Just not in the cards. Rage it for me! (or as much as you can in a car haha)

Really excited for this. My weekend is Thursday/Friday so it works perfectly. @mal is top tier drug band DD

Pumped for the drive in show. New album is actually pretty solid too

Is that actually what moe stands for?

been wondering this every time I look at this thread

I had read in the past that they were originally 5 Games Named Moe and then shortened to moe. but not sure of the validity of that
