you know the last little bit in part I of fir?   They went into the jam BEFORE playing that, then went into it after the jam and went into part II

I definitely noticed this at the show, have they done this before?  It worked pretty well.

Yeah I don't like one um song I should probably just stop listening to them all together. Sorry for having opinions, next time I'll keep them to myself instead of voicing them in the appropriate opinion sharing forum.

Awesome show and a really fun late night as well (Pony and Kris sat in on Makin Flippy Floppy around 3:30am).  I need a relisten but I would put last night up there with 2/25/10 and 12/1/06 for best Nokia shows.  Can't wait for tonight!

I really enjoyed last night's show, wasn't the best show I have seen (by far), but it was really good and really fun the boys were seemingly in a very dancey mood

Highlights:

Conduit - very solid composed sounding stew with a lot of bounceback, there was an awesome section with pauses where Stasik, Bayliss, and Joel would take turns having fills

Utopian Fir - Unlike some people have mentioned I actually enjoy Fir as a 1st set ender (see Town Ballroom 2009), and it was very interesting to see them throw the improv in part 1, rather than the usual Part 1 > Improv > Part 2

DBK - First section was standard, typical DBK >Cover > DBK, but the 2nd jam section was extremely fun. As mentioned before there was a lot of eastern cadences with Jake then picking up his sliding making it a very dancey spanish/eastern sounding groove

Linear > Ringo - extremely well exectuted Linear with some nice heavy jamming before dropping into Ringo. Ringo's 2nd jam was what stood out to me, not terribly long but fun as far as I can remember

Overall I'd give the show a B+ or A-, need to re-listen

I really need to re-listen to this show.  Based on my first impressions, I would give this show a solid B.  It was nice to see the band go out there and pretty much jam everything out.  You could tell how much fun they were all having last night.  Highlight for me would be the DBK jam, though the whole second set was pretty smokin.

Jazz Odyssey > Booth Love > Rocker Part 2, Conduit > "Jimmy Stewart" > Conduit, Tribute to the Spinal Shaft > Passing > Utopian Fir

40's Theme, Der Bluten Kat > drums^ > All Night Long^ > Der Bluten Kat, The Linear > "Jimmy Stewart" > The Linear > Ringo

Divisions

The London Souls opened
^ with Jake on percussion

- JO was a bit heavy
- Booth Love had a great jam, very Floyd-ish at the end
- Heavy/bluesy jam in Rocker, with lots of hand signals from Jake
- Conduit had two or three sections to it, ending on a bit of a hip-hoppy vibe
- Happy Birthday to some guy before the Tribute  ;)
- Really enjoyed the Tribute jam out of the breakdown, which had Joel on Rhodes and Jake repeating this riff; the band dropped out at some point to have Jake repeat on his own, before relaunching into a more dancey version of the same riff
- Photo: https://twitter.com/#!/Jwelsh8/status/160561075031511041
- Passing dissolved into Fir

- 40's Theme seemed a bit more patient than usual
- Photo: https://twitter.com/#!/Jwelsh8/status/160576419339051008 (Waful at the end of 40's)
- Der Bluten Kat was introduced as one of their earliest songs
- Photo: https://twitter.com/#!/Jwelsh8/status/160577810690347009 ("50 lighters!")
- Drums was really good, actually; not too long > All Night Long (could hear that coming pre-drums)
- Photo: https://twitter.com/#!/Jwelsh8/status/160580089929678849
- Second jam in DBK was one of my favorites of the night. Started a bit as a dancey Run Like Hell and then transitioned into this great Middle Eastern jam. Jake continued with the theme on slide and the drummers really drove the jam hard.
- The Linear was huge, at least I felt that way last night. Just great. Big and focused and heavy.
- Ringo was good, but nothing like the one from last year's Brooklyn Bowl.

- Divisions was cut from the second set and played as the encore. Strong version.

This show was HOT. The DBK jam w/ Jake on slide was jam of the night for me.  I felt like they got really spacey in a lot of jams tonight, I'll take more of that please. Conduit stew was definitely rehearsed imo, and it was a heater. The Linear was another big highlight for me, that shit was mean.

Jwelsh, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the show.  I gotta say, NICE JOB snapping that photo of the 'All my thoughts divided..' section.  What a cool trick by Waful, separating the stage in half with Blue and Red, DIVIDING the band!  nice work man!

I thought the second bit of improv in Ringo was amazing. Pure butter jam after a lot of wanky moments earlier in the show. Can't wait to hear it again.

So I have some UM friends that are sure that tonights Saturday show is surely going to be better than last night.  I thought the first set was awesome last night and each song was better than the previous.  I would give the show a 9 out of 10. Fans were great around us last night and I am super excited for tonights show. Do people think tonight will be more of an old school umphreys show? Like more front porch, all in time, slacker sort of guitar driven jams?  :dj:

The reason they started All Night Long and then went into drums was because Pony had to use the facilities!

I've have no complaints about last night. I think Booth Love is a killer way to ramp into a show and Conduit has grown on me a TON lately. The 3 way split DBK brought me back to the Live at The Murat CD Release Party at the Variety in ATL back in 2007. Called it right off the bat. Also, unlike some peeps, Divisions is one of my favorite UM tunes. Took me 25 shows to catch one and it's been following me more or less ever since.

Saw him have a sort of jingle bells shaker thing tonight that he was holding up and shaking while playing his kit with just the left hand.  Don't know how new this is, but I'd never seen it, I believe it was during the Fir jam that he was doing this, not sure?

I saw him use it a bunch in STL on night 1 too. One memory I have is during the Bright Lights jam when they were getting dark, the lights were strobing, and I saw Kris' silhouette up there shaking that rectangular shaker.
