NYE 2022

*Moar like Decent Strides

*edit: damn iphone autocorrect is ruthless

disappointed to hear you are there

That show was everything you could want out of a 12/30 honestly. The improv clock probably pushed an hour 20 with this one. Not all of it was perfect, but enough of it was a complete home run it’s tough not to be satisfied. Highlights were probably Intentions and Junk, both of which went on about 5 minutes past when they would usually abort them. Small Strides had a breakout version as well. Solid top 10-15 show out of my 100+. Out of Focus was very welcome. Hearing only one AFAF song was even more welcome.

4.5 song, 70 minute first set :slight_smile: NINETY minute second set (!!)

Last night looks great on paper. Probably an unpopular opinion on here but I wish UM would get rid of horns on NYE. Takes away from their sound and seems forced. Mad Dogs little secret is that he can single handedly ruin an UM show. Probably end up playing a cover with horns, doing some stupid gimic Mad Dog conducts the band shit. I prefer my UM like I prefer my drugs, uncut.

I don’t mind the horns but this was also when they would play 3-4 nights a NYE run. When it’s just 2 shows I definitely would prefer no horns.

The horn battle at the last Tabby NYE is probably my least favorite UM memory. God awful

@WhoDatVols , why don’t these people pony up for UMVip instead of spending 10+ hours of time to get up front?
