The amount of my times my eyes caught sight of “Tribute > Groove Holmes” on some form of the bort is sky high. Definitely one of the most referenced segments. GH improv still got it

Forgot to bump this one yesterday. The whole 1st set run of I.C. → EOTR all the way through August is absolutely beautiful for the entire stretch.

Fun little addition to this, which I’m fairly certain I had talked about on older bort(s), but I brought an old metal head, prog rock buddy to this one. I believe it was his 1st or maybe 2nd time coming along to see UM. He’s a huge guitar guy, and really talented…leads the annual Zappafest here in MKE. Anyway, by the end of that 2nd set after the run of Muches, FF > No More Tears finishes, I looked over and he had a shit eating grin & was holding his fists in the air as if we just won the Super Bowl. It was really cool to see him react that way.

I was super sick this show bouncing back from a nasty case of dorm room strep. Got the full body rash and everything. That run was incredibly fun in the end with @stecky and @Deaner. I also have a weird story for this show featuring Don roughing me up by the merch table when he thought I was stealing stuff through the lattice wall holding up shirts and such. :rofl: (It was a homeless man it turns out.) Good times!

I remember the bort and such being on edge waiting for Wappy to return since it was on the BHam setlist a few weeks prior but not played.
