I at least went through and added the venue and bolded the 10 that I have the best memories of.

What would be some of the stuff on your 500th show fantasy setlist?
I would just request two and half hours of the band making velociraptor sounds

One day I will finally catch another Crooked One.
It just sucks too cuz I really do genuinely love that song. Its not just a stats chase by any means. Same thing with The Haunt

I had a nice fat gap. 12/27/19 was my first Crooked since 8/25/07. Hope 2021 is your year!

I donāt know how I could ever rank my top 20, and Iāve only caught 165 shows. Major props to you for being able to do it Dan! Iāve definitely caught a lot of duds, so I could do a 20 best shows seen list but putting them in order would be tough
Have they ever split WBG across sets? I like the looks of that
Iād have to throw in a newer song and another Jake song to make it more appealing to the band most likely.

I think Truckee is mad overrated and Iām honestly surprised to see it above some of the other shows on your list
Itās probably just because youāre a Plunger slut

Two 6 song sets? Best Plunger ever? Beautiful outdoor show in a gorgeous park with a makeshift stage made for one of my favorite UM experiences ever. Guess you had to be there to appreciate it!

I think itās because I really only like 1 of the 2 plunger jams and because there isnāt much in the rest of the show that excites me, but itās been a minute since Iāve listened.
Iām still laughing at āPlunger Slutā btw Colin hahaha
