This is such a great show. It was the 1st night of a 5 night run I did w/@dkrep, then also hit up 3-4 in Bloomington, IN making it 6 shows in 7 days. That was a very fun week for sure!

Bumpski…

Top 3 for me. Absolutely relentless. I wore out that UM Live.

This was an amazing night, 18 years ago today. I will always take the opportunity to fluff this Jajunk, FF, Blue Echo & SF1…

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!!

This show can officially buy booze now! What a great night

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

[SchladopianFir]

The opening Fir/ALB is a good one

[UncleDutchman]

This entire show smokes. Terrible weather outside that night. That was a white knuckle drive to the show. You already mentioned it, but there are multiple great jams spread out across both sets.

Rocker Pt 2 > Crooked One to end the second set flies under the radar since the first set has so much improv

[Bron-yr-Aur]

That calypso-y Fir outro jam is so fun

Crooked and Wally peaks are massive

And I have always had a soft spot for OG kula with lyrics

[sabretooth]

If you haven’t listened to this show it kicks @ass
