Re: Better 5.26 show

I was at Hartford, rail Tim. My video (along with Ann and John) comprise 95% of that DVD (for which I am proud to have contributed something to this community). I got my second stick of the weekend, and was embraced by many here for the video I got.

For that, Hallowbillies, and so, so many more things, Hartford. From a setlist standpoint, Hartford. The double encore was cool for SPAC, but 5.26.12 is one of the finest shows I have ever attended, regardless of version of the band.

    5/26 is my birthday. I was supposed to go to SPAC '13, but decided to get a cabin with friends instead of traveling. My personal favorite 5/26 show is:

    That SPAC setlist looks terrible overall. Encores really save it. Has like my top 5 least favorite songs to see on it.

    SPAC wins this poll automatically due to the double encore. all shows with double encores deserve automatic live trax release status too because we here at ants love rare shit. somebody please find me a show with a double encore that shouldn't be released

    i'd probably go with hartford, and i was at that spac show. only thing saving that show is the encore. the 2nd half of the show is pretty good, but had some speed bumps. nothing mind blowing though.
    Exactly what I thought.

    I was at both of these shows. I think Hartford had the better energy. The SPAC double encore was one of the coolest things I've seen at a show. But in general, Hartford gets it for me. Better songs and better performances in my opinion. The midset Two Step was incredible.

    Mercy is better than all those songs except for grace. Grace usually get a + but not in the two hole between sweet and eh hee.

    so let me get this straight... if you're at this show, and you hear sweet (which you don't like) then GiG (a song you normally do like) then eh hee (which you don't like), you will then look back at grace and say "wow, i did not like that song simply because sweet and eh hee sandwiched it"

    how do adjacent songs on a list affect the quality of each other (unless of course they are segued into each other, which these are not)

    Grace is a good come down song. I wouldn't like a show I went to to open with sweet and grace. I think it would be boring. Then during eh hee I'd think damn this show sucks.

    Grace was perfectly placed in the set for LT22: Stone > Warehouse, Grace. fantastic way to start a show, easily +3. coming after sweet, would probably get a 0 unless it was an absolutely incredible performance. also does not work well as an opener, just too slow. can't come done from nothing. it needs to follow something like DDTW, BOWA, or Billies.

    Wasn't the Hartford show the first Hallowbillies? This place damn near broke the Internet when that happened.

    Yep, which give Hartford a big leg up and is better than a double encore. Well, maybe.

    The boards were going nuts that day. I remember walking out of that show saying that it cracked my top 5. Looking back, I think maybe it still does. It was unexpected based on how sets were heading at the time.
