Eh, night 1 2016 is better. But this show definitely deserves to be well-remembered.

10 years ago today. I still really regret missing this show, especially since the following night was lackluster. I love listening to the first set especially on tape though!

What a fun fucking weekend that introduced us all to the greatness that is the Riverside Theater. I remember being in awe with how easy it was to rip joints on the balcony that first night.
This must be the band was a super solid opener as well.

People can say what they will about Wisconsin and MKE, but we’re very fortunate to have the Pabst Group venues in our city. Riverside Theater, Pabst Theater, Turner Hall Ballroom…all amazing places for shows. Back Room at Collectivo & Miller High Life Theatre are great as well.

Should have known better then to make a dumb mistake like that. After all it is probably my favorite indoor venue in the country.
Totally agree Milwaukee is always a good time music or not.

I’m listening to this one this morning, first set is actually better than I remembered. I really enjoyed the Wappy. Wild to think I was just a senior in high school at this show, hard to believe it’s been a decade.
