Tampa was real good , but the sound of the venue would unfortunately take all those sick jams for the Bday. Out of the running.
-
@GeorgeBailey awesome thx man
-
2/27 Bee Jam. Multiple movements, cathartic peak
2/28 ATW. Several movements with a super unique soundscape in the middle (slow, ambient space with drum pad, like some 2012/2013 jams) and a huge Plans-esque peak. -
listened to 10/29/16 over the weekend and i'll nominate dis go in 5?
sandwiched between a great gw and gets really nice and melodic before going back to beast mode and the gw bookend
the ghostbusters is stellar as well, and throw ltlo in there while we're at it
-
@Night-Train That's a good Dis Go In 5 but I think the 3/27/15 is better and the 30 min Backdoor Funk from the same show is one of my favorites
-
@BlaiseStafford listened to them back to back, the vegas one is great but since they both go super hard i'll take the last exit version for being one of the only versions i can recall w that really blissed out middle section and factoring in the galisteo way on either side of it, which when taken as a whole is an awesome, awesome jam
-
I'll submit this... ETS > Alternate Ending > ETS from Athens (2.16.19)
-
@BlaiseStafford That whole show is fantastic
-
New here. Saw my first spafford concert in atl on 2-17-19 with my son. After listening to a few shows I think exodus and weasel were unbelievable...I'm fairly new to spafford..is there 1 or 2 shows considered the best that are on nugs? I'll add that legend was great as well.
-
@tiger97 "best show" is obviously subjective. My picks are on the jammy side.

10/19/2017 - prob my vote for best show of all time, or at least "modern" times. The hour-long opening jam is one of the most creative and evocative pieces of music I've ever heard, and the second set is no slouch, with a top 3 of all time BDFhttps://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/20665
11/15/2018 - there were about 20 people at this show which contributed to an intimate and personal vibe. The band seemed utterly comfortable. Minor sound issues unfortunately.https://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/20686
11/17/2018 - Fall tour closer. A bit more "song"-y. Great versions of every song, tasteful covers, triple encore, what more can you ask for?https://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/21386
2/8/2019 - my pick for best show of Winter tour... so far
I'll stop there for now, haha.

2/22/19 tampa space gadget hot damn!
-
A couple all-timers:
2019-02-06 Mind's Unchained
2019-03-14 Alternate Ending -
America > MITM from 3/16 was a great sequence.
But last night's Funkadelic was something else.. the band was just entirely locked in to this pulsing groove. That was just some damn cool music.
-
3.15.19 Galisteo Way
-
@brink Uh... yeah.. with the Double Time around it, that's one of the best jams of the tour. So much energy.
-
The Porland Dirt Bath encore is the best version so far I think. I believe that won’t be the case by the end of the year.

@GeorgeBailey definitely agree with Space gadget as best ever it's the only jammed out version and is outstanding and I prefer 2/20/19 Dirtbath
-
10/25/17 it’s a bunch for the win. This needs to be added 100%
I love this band.
