Good morning Nerds!

A lot of things happened on the leaderboards last night. A lot and I mean a lot of points scored. I feel like nearly half of you picked Beautiful Day and all got 5 points. Not one person choose that song in any other position than the encore.

We also had someone get all 3 of their picks correct (ROSS), but fortunately for the rest of us they were not in the correct order so he only got 7 points instead of a perfect score (11). With that being said I am trying to come up with an additional prize for the first person to obtain a perfect score (If it ever happens).

I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH PLEASE look at the spreadsheet and make sure your entries are correct. I am only human and make plenty of mistakes so please cal me out on them if you notice anything that doesn't look quite right.

So far I already have 12 picks in this morning. Thank you Nerds you know who you are! For the rest of you please have picks in by 8pm Central tonight.

Who's going to get that perfect score? I'll update you on the prize for it I have a concept and just need to build it first.

As always here are my picks:

Set One: Eternity
Set Two: America
Encore: The Hard Way

Thanks,
Blaise!

Good Morning NERDS!

Another show is in the books. @mccuem was nice enough to donate a pin for the Nerd with the most points scored. That Nerd Just happened to be me with a 3 banger for the opener (Eternity) I am going to turn down this generous prize, which means someone in 2nd from last night will win it. last night was a 4 way tie at 2 points by @mdjabber, @el_jefe, Michael Rothschild, RYAN KNAPP. I will discuss with Martin on how he wants to determine the tie breaker.

There is still so much material that the band has yet to play. Start looking at the "Tour Song Count" tab on the spreadsheet use this as your cheat sheet. In a few more shows this will be extremely helpful to use process of elimination and very well could get you more points of your 1st point Cough Cough @Tyler Jones.Haha love you Tyler just giving you some shit.

As always here are my picks for tonight:

Set One: Ginger Stardust
Set Two: Slip and Squander
Encore: Ain't That Wrong

Enjoy your Sunday Nerds! Relax, watch football, recover from last nights hang over (Damn whiskey did it to me again). Enjoy your day.

Thanks again for everyone who is taking part in this it means a lot.

Thanks,
Blaise

Good morning NERDS! I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Lets get right into it. Week one is in the books and it did not disappoint.

Going into last nights show we had a 5-way tie for the pin prize. After last nights show with a head to head matchup between those 5 gents we have got a winner.

@mdjabber 3pts
@LR5 2pts
@el_jefe 2pts
Michael Rothschild 1pt
RYAN KNAPP 0pts

@mdjabber is the winner of the Spaffnerds pin. Marc go ahead and hit up @mccuem so he can hook you up with your prize. Nice job going 3 for 3 on picks for the second time this tour!

You gotta love that we are 5 shows in with no repeats and it looks like we could still go a few more without any being repeated.

Good morning Nerds!

Week 2 of tour is under way and night one is in the books.

Points, points, and more points! There were a bunch of points scored last night by everyone. Multiple people getting 3 bangers with "ALL IN" and "AIN'T THAT WRONG". A handful of people went 3 for 3 on their picks. Mr. Marc Jablon was so close to a perfect score. Once again he had another 3 for 3 night (FOR THE THIRD TIME). He had a total of 7 points and would've gotten the perfect 11 points if he didn't flip flop his 1st and 2nd set. Nice Job Marc you were so close.

We had our first repeats last night and there was a few of them.
WHEN IT FALLS
MY ROAD (MY ROAD)
TODD'S TOTS

How about that My Road (My Road) damn was that good. As well the All IN and Down Under Jams. The boys were really groovin' well last night.

How about Nick singing a song. No one saw that one coming.

It's official RUNAWAY is back and here to stay. So happy its back in rotation after 5 long years.

Here are my picks as always:

Set One: Crazy
Set Two: The Waltz
Encore: Radio

"THIS ROAD ISN'T EASY, BUT IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT"

We are on EASTERN TIME tonight so please have your picks in by 7pm Central time.

Thanks,
Blaise

[GeorgeBailey]

Humble suggestion for next tour: With a 1 point and a 3 point option, what about a 2 point option for correct song/set.

1 point for song played
2 points for correct song/set
3 points for set opener.

That adds more point-scoring opportunities and some separation from nights like last night where a large number of people were aware that Ain't That Wrong had been cut the night before and probably had it somewhere in their picks. Plus, it's easier to get the show right than the set, so it should be more valuable.

Just a thought!

[BlaiseStafford]

@GeorgeBailey absolutely I will definitely make a note of it. Once tour is over there will be discussion between all Nerds on what we can do to make it better. Thanks George

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds!

Another night in the books. I cant say it was a good one for me. I got skunked for the first time this tour with no points. Thankfully we have many more shows until tour is over in April.

Who's ready for the weekend? I sure am. I couldn't think of a better way to start it than listening to past shows and getting ready for tonight's show. One show in particular I would recommend you to listen to would be 1-31-18 Culture Room from 2 years ago to the day almost. This was such a great show and such a spectacular one off jam (CULTURE JAM). IMO I think they need to revisit this jam and convert it into a regular song it was just that good.

Well lets get to it. Here are my picks as usual:

Set One: DIrty Laundry
Set Two: Ginger Stardust
Encore: Fuel

Hope every one has a good weekend. Same as last night deadline for picks is 7pm CENTRAL Time.

Thanks,
Blaise!

Hey Nerds I just updated the leaderboards. Josh Floyd pointed out to me I forgot to switch his encore pick last night. He switched to The Evil which worked out well and gave him a 5 banger. He is now tied for first at 20 points. Great song switch Josh!

PLEASE NERDS!

Do yourself a favor and go through the spreadsheet and make sure I am submitting your picks correctly and that I am updating your picks if you decided to change your mind. I'm only human and will make mistakes throughout the course of this tour. I'm trying my best to keep track of all the emails I get everyday to make sure I enter your picks correctly.

Pleas help me help you make sure you get the points that you deserve.

Thanks,
Blaise

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds!

Another great night is in the books. Who's ready for another one?

We have had a decent amount of repeats and still have a lot of original material that has been left on the table and yet to be played.

CRAZY
DIANA
FUEL
GINGER STARDUST
THE HARD WAY
LEVILAN SHORES
RADIO
SETTLED IN
SEVEN
SMOOTH, RELAX, DOWN
SPACE GADGET
STEAK SAUCE
THE MAN
THE WALTZ
As always here are my picks for tonight:

Set One: Ginger Stardust
Set Two: The Postman
Encore: Settled In

Please have your picks in tonight by 7pm CENTRAL TIME.

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday. Should be a fun one for me going to the casino later tonight. Then having a poker game at my place while hopefully streaming the show. Lets hope I come out on top.

Thanks,
Blaise

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds!

Week 2 is over and in the books. Man did they go out with a bang with last nights show. I'm very excited to listen to the second set. I only streamed the first set last night and damn was that good or what?

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We now have a 2 day break until they start back up again on the 28th in Bama.

Picks for the 28th will have a 7pm CENTRAL time deadline. I will send a reminder the morning of and will also send my guesses for that show as well.

Happy Sunday have a good day Nerds!

Thanks,
Blaise

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds!

HOLY BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE JAM.

If you're wondering why there is so many "E's" (57 to be exact) its because they gifted us 57 minutes of very explorative jams that did not disappoint.

Could you ask for a better Tuesday night in Bama? You gotta love TWO 3 SONG SETS.. Only 7 songs played in total all night.

They really got weird just like they said they would and made sure to keep the night interesting.

As always here are my picks for tonight:

Set One: Ginger Stardust
Set Two: Virtual Bean Dip
Encore: Fuel

Please have your picks in by 8pm CENTRAL time please.

Have a nice day Nerds!

Thanks,
Blaise

[jeenot]

Take note that the set list has been updated to include "Aliens" in between B jam and Settled In.

(Bummer for those of us who were bent on Space Gadget)

[damian]

@jeenot I'm getting confirmation on Aliens. The official Facebook didn't cite it. It may not have been played.

[damian]

It was not played. I am removing it.

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds!

I wish I could've been at the show last night. That venue looked nice and small and must have felt super intimate.

We had the first 3peats of the tour last night and there was a handful of them.

Broken Wing
Mind's Unchained
My Road (My Road)
People

How about that Simon & Lilly, damn was that good. I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, but I believe that was only the second time they have ever jammed that song. (First jam 10/12/19 @ the 8x10) That being said IMO the Simon & Lilly from last night is the GOAT in my book.

That entire 2nd set was just fire. They Killed IT. IMO that 2nd set was the best set they have played all tour thus far. That almost 40 minute Memphis in the Meantime was just absolutely phenomenal.

As always here are my picks:

Set One: Red's Jam
Set Two: Dirtbath
Encore: Galisteo Way

Deadline for picks tonight is 8pm CENTRAL time.

Thanks,
Blaise

[BlaiseStafford]

Good morning Nerds! Happy Friday!

Jeff Stewart has taken 1st place and has given himself a nice cushion, but don't get too "Comfortable" He currently has 30pts with a 5 point lead over 2nd place. Nice job Jeff can you keep it up?

Tonight the Gents head to Atlanta. I cant wait they always kill it in ATL, but we don't have to wait until the show to enjoy some live Spafford.

image.png
Make sure to tune in for this if you're able to. It should be a fun time.

As always here are my picks for tonight:

Set One: Dirtbath
Set Two: Red's Jam
Encore: Virtual Bean Dip

We are on the East coast now so please have your picks in by 7pm CENTRAL TIME

Good morning Nerds!

Sorry I'm posting a little later than I usually do.

We finally got that damn Ginger Stardust. I think I've had that as a pick at least 7 times and of course when i don't pick it they play it.

The boys are at the Variety Playhouse again "Night After Night"

As always here are my picks:

Set One: Double Time
Set Two: Virtual Bean Dip
Encore: Night After Night

Please have your picks in by 7pm CENTRAL time

Good afternoon Nerds!

Happy Supberbowl Sunday! Go Chiefs

I'm a die hard Bears fan, but since they didn't make it I will be cheering for the Chiefs today because my cousin works for the team. Lucky bastard gets to be in the press box for the game and his wife got a free ticket to the game.

That being said there was a bunch of points scored last night. I want to say at least 10 people guessed LTLO in the correct position. Nice job!

We have one day of rest until we start up the new week again. The leaderboards are getting heated and tight.

I will send a reminder tomorrow morning for the next shows picks as well as my picks.

Everybody enjoy the Superbowl and pig the fuck out. Please drive safely.

Thanks,
Blaise
