@Cody crap, now we have to go back and do homework! decisions, decisions, decisions…
To be fair, there's definitely worse homework to do...
-
I went with the Lonely >Weasel>Palisades >Weasel...but that Plans from Cambridge is a serious contender. Now that I see it has no votes I almost wanna go back and change mine. That Plans was some fonky ass shit!
-
@603Brett Hey do you have 2 votes! I've gotta listen to that plans again, I keep hearing how good it is!
-
@Cody it was my first time hearing it that night and I was like “ what is this?” They definitely turned it on for that one!
-
Where is the actual vote? I see the nugs links, but not where to cast the vote??

@itsabunch99 Try clicking on the link to the first post: https://forum.spaffnerds.com/topic/259/best-jam-of-the-northeast-run-fall-tour-2017
It should be at the top of the page. Are you on mobile?

Albany is taking the cake so far!

Vote vote vote!

With a heavy heart, I did not cast one of my votes for the ATW-ON FIRE-ATW from Brooklyn Bowl... I love that jam so friggin much.. the ATW jam contains some of the most joyful and heart-opening sounds of the tour (in my biased-because-i-was-there-and-pie-eyed opinion) and Brian shreds the On Fire jam like the world is ripping apart into pieces and it's the last hurrah. The slide back into ATW is smooth and seamless and the crowd lost their goddamn minds... first set, people, first set!!!
BUT... the Red's Jam > Weasel from Philly is just toooo good to be passed up. Either song separately could contend for Best Jam of the year and the way the band makes the metamorphosis happen is mind melting. And the Hollywood > Phonebooth > REDmedy from Northampton is exceptional not only because these are not your typical Spaffjam exploders, but they also cover an insane amount of musical terrain.. with all of the wildly different soundscapes the transitions are never abrupt or clumsy... and I could listen to the spaced out ending of Phonebooth over and over again.. i like that Spaff is really experimenting on this tour... i feel like i won the lottery to be witnessing such artistic spirit and dynamism while it is unfolding..
Thanks for organizing @Cody, this was fun.. i look forward to the next votes.

I listened to every jam in order to vote
Red's Jam > Weasel from Philadelphia
Parody > It's A Bunch > Parody from Ithacagot my votes

There you have it folks! Our top jam from the Northeast run is the killer second set segment of Dream Jam > All My Friends > Bee Jam > Alternate Ending > Ain't That Wrong from Albany which features the first ever ETS-less Alternate Ending and a 25 minute Ain't That Wrong. Rounding out the top 5 are the Ain't That Wrong > On Fire > Ain't That Wrong from Brooklyn, Red's Jam > Weasel from Philadelphia, Parody > It's A Bunch > Parody from Ithaca, Mind's Unchained > Ain't That Wrong from Baltimore, and America > Space Gadget from Philadelphia. The rest of this tour has been chock full of jams, I have a feeling that the Bee Jam will win out for jam of the tour by a long shot.

@Cody it's hard to disagree, unless...???

I think the ballot box got stuffed by the NY crew

Haha! Hey man, that's a tight jam! It's the one show I went to and I didn't vote for it, despite my attendance bias, because of how good the others were. But it totally deserved to be in the mix

I’ll give you that Johnny. So many good jams during that Northeast run...and the fun just hasn’t stopped!
