Lol I remember absolutely nothing about any of those other shows besides that fire wappy. 8/8/14 holds a very special place in my heart.

That’s because y’all were dishing out haircuts like Sweeney Todd before the show

This one should be in my top 5. Amazing setlist.

I still think the whole first half of Set 2 was one of the best thing’s I’ve ever seen them do. OOO>Visions>Q*Bert>Visions>Plunger, the way the Visions jam builds is so good, they segue into QBert, and then go right back into the same jam and the peak the ever loving fuck out of it->Plungie. Must hear segment for any UM fan, the segues are complete butter, Jake’s soloing is out of this world and the band is right there amping it up more every pass through the changes.

Agreed and you just made me edit my OP. The uniqueness of the setlist, a Wednesday night in New Hampshire, super low attendance made this one so much fun. Would love to see them at that venue again. I was able to leave at setbreak and walk back in and right up to the stage. Grabbed the setlist for this one too.

I also really loved that first set. Not a ton of improv but again, great song selection. 2x2 > Liquid > 2x2 is a great choice. Also that Kabump jam has always been a favorite of mine. Mid jam instrument switch to acoustic was super cool. Great show.

Starting seeing the band in 2014. All things considered still have caught some good shows:

10/25/14- Best crowd and great show (White room encore was amazing)
6/26/15- Best overall show
07/03/19- Heater from start to finish (Set one is my favorite set to this date)
12/30/15- First new years run. Phils might be my favorite jam
7/25/14- First ā€œtrueā€ show. First time hearing Mantis and I’ve been sold on this band ever since.

Originally I was just gonna write 1/27/11 5 times but decided against it

All timers…

11.9.07 (IU Auditorium - Bloomington, IN)
2.27.08 (People’s Bar - Des Moines, IA)
8.1.08 (Fox Theatre - Boulder, CO)
10.7.09 (City Opera House - Traverse City, MI)
2.11.10 (The Orange Peel - Asheville, NC)

From the last decade…

9.9.11 (Brookyln Bowl - Brooklyn, NY)
12.29.13 (The FIllmore - Denver, CO)
8.8.14 (Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom - Hampton Beach, NH)
7.2.16 (Red Rocks Amphitheater - Morrison, CO)
1.20.17 (The National - Richmond, VA)

Could swap several of these from both decades for some other personal favorites, like Halloween 2008 at the Warfield in San Francisco, but I thought this was a good Top 5 x 2 of shows I’ve seen that left me buzzing.
