That 2012 show was what really sold me on UM. MO through 2x2 is a great segment. Then the 2nd set opens with that fantastic 1, 2 punch RW > Higgins. Dbk sandwich is no slouch either. Encore is cool, full band Orfeo in the middle of WBG is sweet. What a great show!

Probably the best show of 2006, and I’m realizing I should have been listening to that Tribute on Halloween.

That 11-2-06 show is packed full of top tier moments, and I would’ve never expected either of the 2 shows that followed to hit anywhere near those same levels, but this show is right there with it, IMHO…

A day late but obvious choice is obvious. Much hyped, and still very good but not as good as the show 3 days before. That Haunt though…one of my all time favorite UM jams still

Got super busy with yard work & spaced this one yesterday as well. Great show, and so glad it was the last at the Eagles. They played some really amazing shows in that building, but finally moving into the Riverside was a total game changer.

1999th show and it was a really solid one. Very good Reso and Kitchen in this one. They got real weird with the 1348 jam.

Loved that show.

Reminiscing about that show with my buddy tonight. Such a great two nights up in Madison. Hams were weird.

This was a really solid two night stand for sure. A good friend totally ‘over served’ me on night two & things were extra sparkly to the point where I was having a bit of a hard time holding it together. I made it through without any real issues. Great evening nonetheless…

Never heard the 1999/2000 shows. Worth the time? There was 2012 West Coast Tour I didn’t hear I mentioned wanting to check out that I still haven’t so I’ve been building up a mental queue of shows to revisit. I haven’t listened to soundboards regularly in years so it takes mindfulness with my music choices to make it happen these days. Seems like a good time to go on a binge. There was a time in my life where this band was all I consumed but I learned to moderate after a 2009 burnout so there’s a few years I have not really listened to many of the shows from over the last decade. I’m sure I’m missing out on some goods jams.

@Bron-yr-Aur mentioning a “real weird 1348” jam has my ears interested. I love me some weird shit.

I would say so. They’re a very solid pair of shows. I wouldn’t put either into my top 10 attended, but both have playback value. Some real good moments in each night, and both shows flow well, IMO.

I got too busy yesterday & forgot to post the Bloomington show, but this was an amazing 2 nights of UM. The 11-9 show has amazing flow & some great moments, but I still feel like the 11-10 show slightly nudges it out overall.

The night before is quite good too Divisions gets dirty in the Grapevine section and good jams in RW, Plunger, & August.
But that 2nd set from 11/10: 36 minutes of Hey 19 > Blue Echo is required listening.
Got to meet a lot of borters on this run. @Southern_Dan Did any of those pics from this run survive? Would love to get ahold of those. The crew standing in front of the No Soliciting sign was awesome.
First time playing disc golf was in Dallas before the show. Now I’ve played 60+ courses.
