Oddly, I like these Jordanless shows way more than the Brianless ones. And I thought it would have been the other way around by a ton as I like Mike and Jordan a lot.
This bassist filling in has crushed it. I think a lot of it has to do with song selection as well. Those Brianless shows were the same songs almost every show.
Chattanooga > Atlanta looks tasty with my available vacation.
8-17-24 Bee Jam is a JOTY contender.
better than the Kzoo Memphis?
Id say pound for pound yes but that dance party B section in the Memphis is still my favorite part of the two.
This is actually one of their better runs in recent history IMO. Where did this bass player come from? Seems the rest did Brian good.
Highlights:
8/15 - Thieves
8/16 - America, Plush, Aint that Wrong
8/17 - Bee Jam, Weasel
8/18 - Anyone
My top three would be America, Bee Jam, Thieves
Elephant proof bassist. Really cool dude
This is pretty cool

Definitely one of the best Spafford shows I’ve been to!! Ain’t that wrong and all of second set. Also, ice cream always makes me so emotional.
Brian fucking remembered me from when I awkwardly said “you know Colin Shore right” a year ago in Asheville followed by AND I QUOTE “we were feeding off your energy all night” I melted 
what a compliment
Also, requested Crazy soooo ima cry if that happens tomorrow or at Hula
Much needed fun night! Sending hugs to bort fam 
Fuckin sick 
I love them so much!! Wish I was doing the whole run but at least I get one more night in Charlotte!
Space Gadget. Nice. Haven’t caught one of those since my first Spafford show.
I streamed a bit of the show. The Ain’t That Wrong was solid.
My friend was killing me all night. She’s not the biggest spafford fan and loves to call out what things sound like…
Forgot what song in was in first set but she’s like “sounds like study music”
Then during minds unchained she hit me with “now they sound like r2d2” and a few minutes later “swimming in Mario” 
lol love doing this
my friend says UM’s Make It Right sounds like the theme song to a PBS Rick Steves show. So accurate.
Lololol
Her and I do it all the time at any non UM show. We always are pointing out whenever it even vaguely sounds like Umphrey’s song or jam
Did you get out any good ONE TWO THREE FOUUUUHS?
Nahhhhh dude but maybe tonight. I have this new dumb thing called “cobbin” where I dance like I’m chomping on corn. All started because I crushed a great air harmonica solo at big what and someone said it looked like I was just eating corn so now I’m cobbin all the time or as I like to sing in the tone of pimpin all over the world… Cobbin all over the worrrlllddddd
No one needed to know all that but look out for those sick moves at the next UM show
Must see you cobbin’
lmao cobbin
I imagine it’s quite the sight to see… you look over and some girl is squatting while aggressively chomping on nothing. Very becca. Very weird.
