Excellent date in UM history. Not quite 11/2 level, but still two good ones in 2004 and 2007.

20 years ago

this monday night show was one of the many college-era concerts that were a few hours-drive from school, where i had opted to attend rather than study. struggled with a pretty intense statistics test the next day.

when i got to penn state, i ran into some older friends and we hotboxed their car which was parked right on university ave. i got pretty paranoid and bugged out a little. but the show was a ton of fun, OM Trio were awesome and this setlist rips.

this was just days before the redman tour, which sadly, i wasn’t able to see any of.

not on UM Live, nugs, or LMA. I could have sworn I had a copy of this at one point, but now seemingly lost.

I always felt that this one got overshadowed by 2/21, but this show is a scorcher!

Super under-circulated show. FLACs are up on Orpheus, if anyone wants to check it out. One of my absolute favorite early versions of Jajunk. Really fun night & very small crowd.

Obligatory anniversary bump. Such a great night!!

20 year anniversary of this little hidden gem!!

I feel silly for not bumping this one over the past couple years, but 14 (now 16) year anniversary bump to another killer Iowa show. The Des Moines show the night before this one overshadowed this at the time (for me at least), but this one has equally great segments throughout both sets.

The opening 40ish mins of Fir> ALB> Fir is a serious heater, and the Wally is stellar as well. The 2nd set has some gold as well, particularly the Crooked & jam out of LMS, but that 1st set is where it’s at, IMHO.

[February 28, 2008] The Capitol Theatre — Davenport, IA, USA

Set 1: Utopian Fir > Andy’s Last Beer, Utopian Fir > Passing, Uncle Wally, Kula

Set 2: Professor Wormbog, Morning Song, Mulche’s Odyssey, Last Man Swerving[1], Uncommon > Glory > Uncommon, Rocker Part 2 → The Crooked One[2]

Encore: The Fussy Dutchman

Footnotes:
[1] ended with a “keyboard duel” between Kris and Andy on house piano and organ, Jake on additional keys
[2] unfinished

**Show Notes:**with Tom Sawyer and The Spirit of Radio (Rush) teases after Uncle Wally

[Southern_Dan]

Do you have a copy of that show by any chance Josh? Would love to give it a spin!

[CarpetCrawler]

Of course, and I’d love to get it to ya. I’ll try to figure it out soon.

[nextmovement41]

Me as well! Don’t seem to have this one either

[SchladopianFir]

That first set is God tier.
