Tour In Arrears: UM 2008-05-02

Shows like this are why I love this band... High energy, fantastic range of musical styles, and lyrics that can make you think twice. This one is worth listening to again in it's entirety (exept maybe the tony clifton interuption stewart)

Also, this is a perfect example of some of the "show moments" that will just not realize the significance they deserve in a one-track shuffle listening style. Unless tracked as a 15+ minute monster, how in the world do you explain to someone the amazing Snuka>Alex>Snuka segment?

The Wappy Sprayberry had me dancing and will be the first to make it onto my regular playlist rotation as one of the reasons for doing this "tour".

Let me know in the comments what you think of the "Tour in Arrears" posting/review style or any conversation you'd like to have about the show itself.
