UM had a lot to prove to make this show better than the last time they were at the Orpheum and they did not dissapoint.Nippletrix into 2nd Self was a nice touch to get the show started with a good vibe. The puppet string has some really good improv and good length. Not quite as funky as some versions I've heard but original and good in its own way.
My fiance called the Mantis on this show and is always a nice treat these days to get that, especially the backside of it.
Triple wide is a great version, taking you through peaks and valleys of electronic grooves...All night long had more thump than normal with 3 ppl playing percussion including Jake.
It was my second time getting headphones and snowcones (once before on NYE with Mirro) and its a great jazzy riff.
I love when they put two jams into Resolution and both of them had a reggae - ish theme which was great!!!
Set two was a rager, dancy jajunk, rocker of a slacker, and the set never let go....
Hollywood nights I went absolutely nuts because me and my fiance will be going to do VIP HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS on 3-22 and 3-23 in Hollywood....Its as if they knew we were going by playing it in our hometown of madtown!
Great show...UM in madison never dissapoints!
