Best Jams For Amusement Only Tour '18
-
honorable mention to 1/19 Lonely. They didn't just go straight into rage mode like they have been with it recently. Brian starts bending strings like a madman and hands us a beautifully composed jam filled with bliss. Will it be the jam of the year? Nah, but it's showing that the band isn't just going through the motions up there, they are indeed flying with the wind and whatever catches, they go with it!
Disclaimer: I dance with my arms so when Brian catches these moments of undulation, it freaks my body the fuck out and they always leave a deeper impression in my mind.

@PhillySpaffnerd hey there, I think we raged together and discussed this very topic -- one of my fav tunes so happy
-
gotta give it up to Salamander encore in Buffalo, but this run had so many choices you could just stay on this 4 show run and live happily on your desert island somewhere!
-
@spaffaholic Buffalo Plans is solid
-
@jimbo not forgetting 12.29 plans though
-
@jimbo what's up man? Still on cloud 9 from Saturday, especially that slip and squander! Great chatting with you (hopefully I didn't cross into chomping territory)
That Buffalo plans was amazing, I hope they treat us to more live streams. Mixlr in the mean time though:)

@Kyle-Burbank and I totally thought they were about to bust into Alternate Ending during that Lonely jam. Brian was just feeding off of the energy in the room that night. He went all rock star and got out on the very edge of the stage in rage stance at one point! That Lonely may have been my favorite part of the show, but I can't even say that for sure. I am very impressed with everything these guys are putting out right now!

@PhillySpaffnerd totally cloud 999 listening to buffalo salamander now, been all day buffalo, which is alright -- dude, best
-
@Night-Train for clarity, what is an "up vote", the heart? #noobquestions
-
@jimbo yup pretty much
-
@RadiantDarkness great description
-
Man, no mention of 1/11 Postman? Couple different cool themes in that one. Thought the intro jam out of Aeroplane was cool too. It's no Lazy Dog but it's no slouch either
-
Cleveland's My Road, My Road is hotter than Georgia asphalt.
-
@jeenot gotta relisten but i'll take your word for
-
@Mike's-Unchained have not heard them play an uninspired mrmr since it debuted
-

As far as the Asbury show goes, the Hollywood>Dis Go In 5?>Breakdown sequence was probably the highlight, or weasel>funkadelic>weasel. the whole second set was fire

pawtucket reds jam is incredible. on my fifth listen already. thought cleveland would be untouchable for at least a little while but nah they had to break out a wicked big one for the paw sawx kid
Gives nod of approval. Multiple jam sections, 2-3 min segue into AMF... basically has all you could ask for in the #1 slot... build to rage->pop it->settle her down->slowly find your way into all my friends
-
asbury hollywood is what i remember most
will need to relisten as i was in and out most of the stream
