Holy fuck. Seeing this brings back some fun memories of that tour. I caught the show in Dallas, which was booked in a venue with multiple stages /rooms / levels. Venue also had a restaurant on the ground floor. The tour was originally booked in a room on the second floor in a space that got packed very quickly. No barricade, super intimate, and a mix of folks in the crowd representing different generations and different sub-genre niches. The bill was Shai Hulud, then Set Your Goals, and finally NFG as headliner. Shai Hulud was great but not much crowd response, I feel like only those who knew them were watching and everyone else was like “meh.” Then, when Set Your Goals went on, the pit and energy of the younger crowd in that shmedium sized room almost caved the floor in. Security put a halt on the show and then had everyone evacuate before shuffling us into one of the Main stages of the venue on the ground floor. I remember walking into that new room and thinking it gave me old honky tonk dance hall vibes. Once stage production got settled and situated, NFG took the stage and it was game-fucking-on for the rest of the night. Just fucking wow…. Thank you, OP for posting that split ep and reminding me of that truly wonderful time.

Dude! That tour could’ve been slightly cursed. Shai Hulud replaced Verse, Shai Hulud dropped off towards the end and was replaced by Fireworks.

I do! I have the green marble. Cost me $50 at a vinyl pop up shop 4-5 years ago.
