damn I sometimes almost forget about 6/5/08 bc of how much I played that shit over and over back in the day. @Zencer if you haven’t listened to 6/5/08, put the IC → Synco on right now. Its almost cliche to recommend it now bc of how much we gushed over it for so long, but its honestly Shimmy Shanker status for UM

6/7/07 is another all timer.

4 song first set with absolute versions of Fir and Triple Wide, which features the ā€œdon’t march on meā€ lyrical Stew.

The first set of that show and the 2nd set of that 10/16/07 show are probably my favorite 2 sets. If Bisco can still rock 4 song sets, there’s no reason that UM can’t pull this trick out of the bag again.

There has only been a handful of 4 song UM sets in their entire history

Dont set yourself up for heartbreak by ever thinking UM will have a similar philosophy and approach to their shows as the Biscuits do. Its just not going to happen

Edit: that isnt a shot at umphreys, either, its just not fair to expect them to be something that they arent

I’m not entirely without reason, and accept that UM isn’t going to have a 4 song set or bust out a 40 minute song anytime in the future. However they can still play an uninterrupted set and throw a couple segues in there and I’ll still be happy.

Those days never really existed for UM. Shows back in the day used to have more songs. Seems like 5-6 song setlists are more common today then 15 years ago.

7/26/07 used to get a lot of love on the old borts iirc. Not many stops in this show…

UM Twitter posted showtime pushed to 9pm. Was hoping to hear a half set of Stasikless improv. Who am I kidding, they’d just do a bunch of covers with Jake on bass or something like that.

If Jake’s on the bass, let’s get an IVOY
