Also throwing 10/17 Funkadelic in there, fuckin NASTY

I have a lot to catch up on from fall tour, but I'll start with 12/31 Windmill. Killer full band interplay, unique and fresh jam with plenty of catharsis, and a raging extended end segment. Best Windmill ever?!
-
I'm currently listening to the 12/30/2019 Memphis in the Meantime. The jam is unreal. It's an absolute monster. Put that on!

12/30 Memphis - I'll second that
12/30 America and Plans too. That show was a monster.Going back a ways to Fall:
10/29 - Bee Jam
11/1 - Red's Jam + Thieves are both A+ -
Around 20 minutes into that 11/1 Red's Jam, when they drop out of the peak and instantly change keys, Red's synthy late night grooves all the way into the segue itself. That is some sick music.
-
1/16/20 When It Falls has a superb bliss jam with a full band chord progression. Good stuff.
-
@jeenot +1. That When It Falls immediately became an all-time favorite jam for me.
-
I'll nominate the Phone Booth from 1/19 too. Looks like this is going to be a great tour!
-
Gotta nominate the Tampa Leave The Light On...real tight groove in this one.
-
Holy fuckin' Bee Jam. For sure in my top 3 and that's no small feat given that song's pedigree.
The very end is without a doubt the weirdest music I've heard the band play and I loved every second of it.
-
Man, that Memphis in the Meantime from last night (1/29) is top shelf.
-
@GeorgeBailey Hot damn, no kidding. Love the crowd going nuts at the end.
-
1/31 Ginger Stardust has an amazing mournful jam in it. You don't hear the band jam in this mode/key much. Very worth a listen.
-
Yeah I was there, my 2nd ever show and loved it, but I wasnt able to pick up in the subtleties of that song, but after downloading it's my favorite
-
So I’m new to Spafford and just attended my first show on 2/6 in Boston then Friday and Saturday at the Bowl. But I’ve been listening for a little while. The Plans they played on 2/7/20 at Brooklyn Bowl was UNBELIEVABLE. Such a jam
-
@GeorgeBailey Weasel from 12/27/19. The jam intro is fantastic and the jam out before the segue into palisades is absolutely incredible. Hands down the best Weasel I've ever heard. Also Dirty Lundry from 1/24/20 that jam intro is FILTHY dont think they'll ever top that one.
My nominations:
WEASEL 12/27/19
DIRTY LAUNDRY 1/24/20 -
Also noticed that the best Lonely IMO isn't on here either.
LONELY 10/28/16
-
Absolutely LOVED that version of America from 2-7. Liked it better than the Jamcruise version.
-
2/8/20 Impressions, inside a Stuck in the Middle With You sandwich is the best version they've played yet. Excellent addition to the repertoire.
