I seen 54 Wappys, including the re-debut in 2007, and I am beyond stoked to catch my 55th Wappy whenever the fuck that happens. :slight_smile:

That’s a solid amount of HBB. One of the very few songs I would enjoy seeing at every show.

66-67 to go!! Can’t remember if he’s waiting for 99 or 100

54 out of…

Only 236 lol. Hit the wall a few years ago and I’ve only seen seven shows since the last Dominican Holidaze.

I was guessing it had to be a bit over 200 just based on most peeople’s most seen song usually hovers right around 25% of total

I cannot escape Triple Wide. 26/81 shows or ~32%

I’m stuck at 98 Plungers. I cannot believe I didn’t hear a single Plunger in 2020. Worst year ever!!!

This show is stacked! What an amazing night this was. I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t heard it, give it a spin. Right off the bat they throw a really unique, albeit relatively short jam into the HBB & the show just crushes from there on. I really miss those days of loose, fun UM shows.

Beginning of a great 3 night run. Despite the next 2 nights being so stacked, this show is great in its own right. The Wally & Bottom Half in the 1st set are killer, then the Plunger/SF1/Plunger & MFF are outstanding. I feel very fortunate to have seen this run. Shows just kept getting better also. Great times & great memories!!

This was my 1st memory of a stand alone TBH being really opened up & it was such a treat. I had seen it jammed out of like the 7-13-2007, but that one led into other tunes before returning to TBH. At the time, I was not too amused when they started the tune so late in the set, but that notion was squashed pretty quickly.

This show gets swept under the rug, due to how strong the next 2 nights are, but this is a very solid show.

Yeah gonna give this one a spin. Awesome setlist.

This was arguably the best show of that run. I think I prefer the Ann Arbor improv but Grand Rapids had my kind of song selection. That setlist looks unreal 13 years later. I had a “friend” at the show chug a whole fifth in the parking lot and then proceeded to get kicked out almost immediately blacked out of the Orbit Room. He went to the hospital and blew a .38 no joke. Ahh, young and dumb at 19.
