Chronological Order:

4/9/06 - First night of the legendary unplanned Sun/Mon two night Petaluma residence.

10/20/06 - No set list show with the band very loose. Lots of great moments.

3/23/13 - No duds. Solid jams in just about every song.

5/1/15 - Best raw stewage they ever did. Rest of the show is fun as well.

7/3/19 - Could tell early on Bayliss was in the mood to let songs breathe. Lots of top notch jamming.

I love that Padgetts from 3/24/2007 JoJo…possibly my favorite Padgetts ever.

  • 6/5/08 - The Intersection - Grand Rapids, MI - What needs to be said?
  • 6/6/08 - St. Andrews Hall - Detroit, MI - Reso, Hey 19>Reaper>N2F, the entire first set.
  • 12/1/07 - Michigan Theatre - Ann Arbor, MI - Fir>Kitchen>Fir, the entire 2nd set
  • 12/31/08 - Auditorium Theatre - Chicago, IL
  • 10/7/09 - City Opera House - Traverse City, MI - Example 1, ALB, Hey 19, M2M, 3x. So good

4/16/04 – so best

I’m still so salty about missing this one. Timing really never would’ve worked out, but I moved to Denver a month after this show.

132 Shows Total since 2005…Off the top of my head.

4/3/2008 - The Orange Peel: Best show they’ve ever played in my opinion.

12/31/2008 - Auditorium Theatre: Speaks for itself music and set wise. Also, my first NYE Run, we did VIP through Consider It Dan…Was very awesome.

7/11/2009 - All Good Festival (Late Night): Insanely fun and well played show. Late night shenanigans on Marvin’s Mountaintop will always be historic looking back at major festivals.

10/28/2007 - HOB Vegoose (Late night): Vegas and Umphrey’s, I went out to Vegas by myself that weekend. Only did the moe., UM and STS9 late nights…yes, I missed Daft Punk :frowning: but still a wild weekend.

9/14/2012 - Red Rocks: Another one that kind of speaks for itself, still listen to the Ocean Billy overly regularly.

Interesting to see an All Good show in the same ranks as these others. Will have to give it a spin as I usually skip festival season when listening back to shows and have never heard this.
