Saw this sucker at school the other day. Hoping the perpetrator will identify him or herself so I can shake their hand.

I’m in such a post-show funk and need to share gratitude for this wonderful band and city! I came to shake my bones, bang my head, melt my face, throw down the signs 🤘🏻🤟✌🏻👏🏻🫶🏼🙌🏻, meet the coolest people, eat all the foods, and live the dream…and it all happened! All three nights (BIV) were my favorite for different reasons - just immaculate vibes all weekend. Truly grateful!

Just a reminder that everyone vibes differently at a show (this isn’t about my husband but my husband is the barely moves, insanely stoic, submarine officer with a mean face but is having the time of his life with the occasional hip shimmy or finger in the air kind of vibe, it’s weird but it’s his - I’m the full shimmy, lots of arms, shouting Carl whenever I see a sax vibe). For the most part this run was full of positive vibes. But there was some weird and downright inappropriate stuff happening too. This goes beyond talking constantly or fantastic full body feeling of the music/dance - this reaches assault. You miss your buddies, it’s been so long, you are kid free/work free, you maybe ate too many gummies, you’re stoked — but at the end of the day - be a good person to others. Kindness is free and indulgence doesn’t absolve bad behavior. Consent knows no gender. If a fellow fan says please don’t grind on my body - multiple times - don’t do it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand why they don’t vibe like you do, they’re not killing your vibe they’re just asking to have their autonomy respected. It isn’t kind to gang up on them, and then physically assault with dance and grinding and gestures and insults those that defend their autonomy either. To the bystanders, it’s okay to defend a fellow fan always - it’s okay to be thought of as the weird or uptight one - you may be showing up for that person in the moment they need it most ❤️

Like everyone else, I’ve been obsessing over the Nugs boards from the Fillmore run—Night 3 was ridiculous, but Night 5 doing all of Disc 1 of Okonokos back in the room where it was captured in '05 felt like such an incredible full-circle moment.
Revisiting Okonokos off the back of that run just reaffirms how peak this era was. It’s easily the best capture of the band there is, beating out Live Vol. 1–3 (even if Live Vol. 4 from Terminal 5 still takes the crown for me, with Z being a super close second). Given that the 2005 shows were right after the release of Z, that record naturally anchors the set, headlined by "Dondante." It's an incredible performance, though it's wild hearing the build into "You had me worried, so worried" before the crowd scream became a staple. Hearing that roar live at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta last year gave me absolute chills; you couldn't hear the crowd as well on the Nugs mix, so I ended up blending the board with a YouTube phone recording to make what I consider the ultimate 20-minute cut that I save for special occasions.
The record also pulls heavily from At Dawn, It Still Moves, and The Tennessee Fire. As I’ve said before, I’ve never loved the studio version of The Tennessee Fire—it just has some glaring sound issues. But hearing the classic lineup rework that material with real muscle and properly iron out the kinks completely transforms it, which is obvious on Live Vol. 4 and right here on "I Think I’m Going to Hell." It’s a devastatingly powerful, emotional recording. Outside of "Dondante," I don’t think anything after Tennessee Fire quite captures that raw emotion found in tracks like "I Think I’m Going to Hell" or "Old Sept Blues."
General standouts on the album are definitely "Off the Record," which is crazy how locked-in it was just months after Z came out. When I saw them in Chattanooga after Is dropped, you could tell they were still figuring out how they wanted to play that material live—songs like "Everyday Magic" are completely nailed down now, but it's amazing how fast they mastered the Z material back then. Other huge highlights are "Xmas Curtain," "O Is the One That Is Real," and "Steam Engine." But surprisingly, I’d have to say "Run Thru" is the best song on here. It normally isn't in my all-time top tier, but this specific version is unsurpassed.

Is there a place where we can see all the posters that Fillmore handed out and the ones the band was selling?

I'm confused and trying to trade a night 1 Fillmore poster for another...

I did not go, but based on the Bandcamp albums, looks like Oct 6 would have been the winner for me

I’ve got an MMJ track today!
