My favorite JaJunk. One of my most relistened jams, probably.

For some reason I don’t think I’ve heard this one but I’ll have to give it a spin on relisten

It’s the 20th anniversary of my first show! I’d been waiting to see them for over a year at this point, and I’ll never forget the feeling I had when they walked out. Better than sex and drugs. I was fuckin’ obsessed with this band for many years to come.

The Uncle Wally improv is quite atypical but competely badass and the two yam JaJunk is very special to me. There’s this specific moment in Junk when everything comes together so perfectly it’s tough to comprehend. The Jake and Bayliss crescendo still gives me goosebumps.

Great photos, thanks for sharing!

Listened to Dec 2004 shows so much when I was first getting into UM.

12/3/04 is one of the few earlier shows that i really love. We hate it now cuz they overdid it throughout the years, but that Front Porch with the cover samples is hot and tight AF. The Much Obliged/JO was fire too.

Seems like I really need to dive into 2004 more, going to listen to one of these shows right now!
