Honestly why do people give a shit what Phish or Umphrey’s or whoever thinks about this. Some dumb wishy-washy statement is the absolute worst you can do. Say nothing or take a stand that says “fuck the police, fuck trump.” The middle ground is just bullshit.
Liked this post because I agree with the last sentence. I honestly give no fucks about what anyone has to say about this. But if you’re gonna speak up, speak up (jo). Don’t give me some half-assed, pc, centrist bullshit.
Molotov cocktails work fine with denatured alcohol and it’s cheaper. Light a cop car on fire
The only reason I even looked at their post was someone else mentioned it here and when I looked at their twitter it was hyping their album with a pinned tweet above the social justice post. Just comes off disingenuous.
Now I’m diving into 2003/2004 UM. Man, I wish they were this adventurous these days!
I want them to do a big improv set again but without a sit in. Just get fuckin loose.
But they have to appeal to the masses dude how else is KB gonna afford his castle?
This is the show I’m listening to today. It’s in SHN format, but I converted it to FLAC. This N2F is quite tasty (and 31 minutes in length to boot!)

I’ve shifted gears to fall 2013, since I have videos available of 10/16, 10/21, 10/25 and 10/26.
10/26 Buffalo is just an absurd show. Ridiculous guitar interplay peak in Bridgeless, solid uplifting DBK, huge HBB with the reggae cover in one jam section and a dance party in the other, the infamous “seagull guitar” FF, and even a pretty exotic LMS -> 13 Days. Show has everything.
Burlington also brings it hard, especially the second set. You can feel the sea change coming towards the mellotron/spacy jams that would dominate the sound for the next few months and still pop up now and again.
Is that a old waful cam of Burlington? Mind sharing that? Fall 13 is one of my favorite tours
9/26/15 is a top 5 show for me and that Ringo is an all timer. Don’t sleep on the Wappy either.
Lol two opposing questions and the voting options to the entire post are “yes” or “no”
Yeah pretty poorly set up poll maybe he should just outsource the poll making to the bort, and link us in his twitter
or he’s asking us to vote on if we should help him decide.
“…maybe you can help me decide.”
Yes
No
Between the spelling, sentence construction and nonsensical poll, i would assume he was drunk. Then again it was written 9am his time.
It was a whistle kids kinda morning
I think Breaker might be my current favorite UM tune.
I don’t think I’ve even heard it. I need to
It’s pretty good but not sure if it’s my favorite. Usually gets a small jam but I’m not a fan of the Haji part of the verse.
