20 years since my 2nd UM show. Co-headlined with moe. at “westport outdoors” which was nothing more than a stage set up in a parking lot outside the former Beaumont Club (RIP) which is now a pretty solid BBQ joint (Char Bar.)

Was my first moe. show and had a split squad encore. They kept going into Wind It Up which was awesome.

Yea one of the first shows I really got into deep. The way they transition from Divisions into Phil’s Farm is so mathematically satisfying. The eighth notes grouped together in 3s for the Divisions breakdown becomes the eighth notes grouped in 2s for Phil’s Farm

After seeing the 2 posts above this one by @StoneJackBaller & @Serac about this night, it dawned on me that it’s now the 20yr anniversary & I somehow haven’t bumped this show for 4 years. What a f’n great evening for sure. We had some absolutely out of control mahl & it was starting to really lay into us right during that Haunt jam. Gobbled some more (obvs) during setbreak and those set 2 shenanigans just launched us right out of our boots. Can still feel those waves when thinking about it…

I really cherish (what’s left of) these way back memories. What a blast! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Back at Summerfest waiting for Little Feat makes me feel the memories…

One of my favorite N2Fs of all time.

I think this was also the show that our crew was double-fisting Sharp’s during the first set. We had no idea they were NA. We just thought they were the cheaper option. I can’t remember how we figured it out.

we were catching a shuttle bus from MKE to Alpine Valley for Phish a few years back and we had just enough time to sprint to a liquor store to grab drinks for the bus ride. buddy strolls back onto to the bus with a 30 rack of light blue PBRs. bummer that we didn’t have booze but man did we laugh at us racing the clock to buy a case of NAs.

then our school bus died in the middle lane of 43 and a trooper had to ram the back of the bus to push us towards an off-ramp. I always wonder if the officer had any idea about how many illegal drugs were on that bus. good times.
