Good 2.0 starting place.

PEN1S_ISLAND · October 16, 2020, 1:26am

1/17/08 set one.

Absolutely relentless.

6/27/09

One of the sets will get ya

Sand_King · October 16, 2020, 2:24am

Fuck yes. This one is a punch to the gut since I lived in town at the time and didn’t know this band existed at the time…

CarpetCrawler · October 16, 2020, 2:27am

Yeah, both sets are seriously great stuff. The jam in that 2nd part of Astronaut is just ridiculous. The 1st set of 6-28 keeps that momentum going also.

Yeah that palindrome get your sexy on near the second half of astronaut is so hot. The second set and 10/24 shimmy->shanker->shimmyare two of the hottest pieces of dance party music I’ve ever heard.

PEN1S_ISLAND · October 16, 2020, 6:04am

We don’t talk about the shimmyShank around these parts anymore.

Please. We can’t, because of where we have been.

6/13/08 if the MEMPHIS>Helix doesn’t get you right out of the gates, I dk what will.

Okay reporting back. God damn. It’s like entire sets of dance jam peaks and I’m not complaining.

Sand_King · October 20, 2020, 10:02pm

Is that a SexyBack sample?? Absurd

kramm · October 20, 2020, 10:04pm

It sure is

Sand_King · October 20, 2020, 10:43pm

Mother of god I have discovered the Akira jam

CarpetCrawler · October 20, 2020, 10:51pm

I fucking love it so much when somebody finds & accepts the dark side.

Biscuits are both the most rewarding & can also be the most frustrating (jam)band I’ve ever known. When they’re truly dialed in, there really isn’t much better in the current jam music world.

Fell in love pretty hard in 1999/2000, then kinda lost my interest in the 2004/2005 stretch. The couple ‘06 shows I saw were pretty great again, then ‘07-‘10 happened & I was infatuated once more.

I’m so glad they’re back to being a legit force once again. They have always had the ability, but there have been some shaky years for sure.

Please help me I’m starting to imagine what it would be like if Magner played for UM…

4/21/07 was one of the first Umphrey’s shows I heard. I’m just now making the connection as to why I really loved that 3x at the time

Sand_King · October 22, 2020, 12:44am

Okay this inverted song thing really takes the concept of a reprise to another level.

Is this all mapped out ahead of time?
