So many jams. Hard to narrow them down. This would be a solid template of what I would consider my favorite 25 jams. So many are left off and would be interchangeable.

*= would absolutely always remain on the list

Note - I’m not going to say that these are their best jams ever but these are my go-to jams when I listen to UM. Love the dance jams. Also, admittedly, there’s some attendance-bias in there for some but we all have that so whatever.

I don’t have attendance bias, it’s just the shows that I went to are the best ever.

I love all of the input the Bort is providing for a project that we’ll most likely end up calling a cash grab in a matter of months.

are you saying that JWelsh is manipulating us?

cause if they made a CD/Vinyl that had even a 1/3 of the jams we mention I would be fully supportive of that cash grab

He’s pulling the old bait and switch right in front of us! I would support it too, I just have to bust our collective balls.

this would be my list, definitely no '08 bias

IC > SS should be it’s own vinyl release
05/23/08 would be an awesome show to get the CD/Vinyl treatment so I left that off too.

If you fast forward to around 17 minutes on the Brooklyn Plunger you find yourself at the edge of bliss IMO. I could relisten to that part all day. And I have ever since I was turned on to it by @cshore ! Such a great jam!

It’s only a 6 min jam but 12/3/04 FF is a top 25er for me. It’s just quintessential Jake.
