I will shamelessly bump this show each & every year on this date. What a killer night. I can’t believe this was 15 year ago. What an unbelievable Jajunk & Fancy. Straight fire for both sets.
Obligatory yearly bump for the 16th (now 18th) anniversary!!
What a great night!!

last In a Silent Way 09.11.2005 (259 shows)My 100th show & an amazing way to kick off a really great 3 night run. This was overall the best of the 3 shows, IMO, but the Canopy Club the next night had some serious next level moments.
Obligatory anniversary bump.
15 year anniversary bump for a very special night for this old turd!!
Now 17 years. Such a great year of UM & feel so lucky to have been able to run around the Midwest like a degenerate hitting so many shows. My only regret is not putting more energy and effort into seeing the Biscuits that year as well, because they were also crushing.

[3] “Jimmy Stewart” with lyricsThis Kat’s> Ringo> BLBC> Ringo & Nemo are seriously amazing segments. The darkness of the majority of set 2, with that Nemo jam in the middle, was quite the head fuck. Abacab to start the set off was so perfect.
Accidentally went a little deeper than I had expected that night, but it was perfect.
Really great show that night!
Yet another yearly bump! What a couple nights, between Madison the previous night followed by this gem.
Obligatory bump for awesomeness!! What an amazing mini run of shows…I will forever hold these 3 nights in super high regard.
I cant let @CarpetCrawler have all the fun here! So bumping this beast of a 2nd set
Obilgatory bump. You must hear the OoO through Plungie to open the 2nd set. The way they jam sandwich into and out of QBert is so fucking good. There was like all of 100 people there, probably the tiniest UM show I’ve been to. A bit lacking in 'prov in the 1st set though the acoustic dance party in Kabump is pretty fun, a lot of bustouts for the time.

One of the proggiest UM shows I’ve seen…Abacab, Wizard, RW, 2x2, Eat, Bridgeless.
Was fun being able to just stumble down to UM shows at the Canopy from my apartment.
CarpetCrawler:Feel like the 3rd night of this awesome little run needs a bump as well. There were some great moments for sure, but the bar was set far too high by Madison & Urbana. This was my one and only Last Train Home though, so that was a very special end to the evening.

This was a great show, fall 06 was so damn wonderful…
Those old fox theatre shows were always heaters. I rember this one being damn good. That next night at Fillmore Denver was awesome too. 3 sets one acoustic. Jeff Austin sit in. Damn I miss those days.
Yeah the next night (tonight ) was also mind blowing! That acoustic set was amazing and the 3x jam is one of the best basslines stasik ever produced.
Relisten to it now if you haven’t!

[13] with Tradition quote from BrendanWhat an amazing 2 night run this was. I remember the excitement when we heard the news that UM decided to do a 3 set show at the Barrymore when we rolled into Madison. What a treat that was. The Chicago show was so f’n good, then they just managed to absolutely destroy Madison that next night. Such great memories of all those shows from the early years at the Barrymore. What a great place to see young, upcoming bands.
Yearly obligatory fluff. Still have such vivid memories of these 2 shows. The HOB is still my only time catching a Hey 19…sure do hope that changes soon. It’s going on 20 years now, which is a crime.
Officially now been 21 years. Bittersweet for sure. Both of these shows are f’n stellar. Some really great memories from each of them!
