OK, so IMO, it’s either this show from 17 (now 18) years ago or that ‘07 show which holds the title for best UM show at Summerfest. That 7-5-2007 1st set is just such a f’n monster, but this show as a whole might be slightly more complete. Just great stuff scattered throughout both sets. Set 2 of ‘07 started so strong, but after the DBK/Kabump sandwich, it never quite carried that same momentum. It’s really a tough call, honestly…it’s probably more of how I’m feeling on any given day, in terms of where my allegiance lies on this.
