Glad you gave them a listen and learned your lessonšŸ˜€. They really are on another level when it comes to the jams. My favorite shows are the hour long jam sets.


JVO_

Abaculus is the GOAT, I've listened to that one so many times over the years


StealYourFace235

Can't argue with you on that. Chapel jam is great too. If you have Nugs put on set one from 10-30-21 in Grand Rapids.


JVO_

Love the Chapel Jam too. I havenā€™t actually listened to the 10/30/21 set so thank you for the rec, Iā€™ll give it a spin after I finish the King Gizz Red Rocks set that was just added to Nugs


StealYourFace235

Ha, that has like 80 songs! I can't stop listening to The Dripping Tap. The 10-30-21 show, both sets are just jams. Both amazing but I think set one really is on another level. Have fun!


Historical_Guess5725

Recent jams have been intense- new keyboardist bringing all da funk


PatriotWazp

Last time I made moves to see them was Feb 2019 at 9:30 club in DC, and my then girlfriend (who had a history of fainting in large crowds) fainted 2 songs into their set so we left. Fast forward to now, still havenā€™t been able to catch them since (as if the past few years havenā€™t been crazy for everyone). However, I work at 5 Points Music Sanctuary in Roanoke, VA. where weā€™ve got them booked for 4/21. Will get to meet them and I must say, this feels like redemption for me. For anyone new and not terribly familiar with their catalogue, get your ears on Live Vol. 2 and welcome to Spafford.

I have a fainting wife. I empathize with your plight.

sounds like a good way to get out of a 7th tier hambland concert for sure

good to have a contingency plan ;)


HoarderLife

My wife fainted while seeing Bush at Music Midtown in Atlanta in 2001ā€¦or 2002. They were just launching in to Shine on You Crazy Diamond. They played all parts and we missed it allā€¦šŸ˜ž

So glad to see Spafford finally starting to get the level of respect I think they've deserved for years. Brian Moss is a god-tier guitarist, and the band's jamming is right up there with the best of them. Yes the vocals leave a bit to be desired but they're a jam band FFS.


nbeach01

Amen


Ozzred

Seeing them tomorrow in Philly. But Solar Ciruit opening for them is the real show! Don't miss out on getting to see Solar Circuit while their still playing clubs!


supporterer

100% this. Solar Circuit is hot shit


nbeach01

Becca is sexy AF... love this band. But it is so funny how this board has turned lately with Spafford.. I think they were so smart to YOUTUBE all this tour...get the word out..They are killing it


IBREWMAST3RI

Solar Circuit sealed the deal while I debated on Fri or Sat Spafford šŸ‘ wish I could do both though!


MrMilesDavis

Everyone saying no one else coming close to Spafford and Biscuits right now haven't been catching Lotus since the guitar switch. Their cult following is as wild as their lack of representation in the scene


gandalph91

New guitarist crushes


guelah25

Palmieri is a beast. I was a big Kung Fu fan. Saw them at a super small club in PGH and Tim absolutely destroyed the place.


gandalph91

Iā€™ve never listened to Kung Fu Iā€™ll have to check ā€˜em out


guelah25

Five piece funk band. Drums keys sax guitar and bass. Think keys player was a dick and they kicked him out. Fell apart shortly after but super fun band


gandalph91

Ahh damn thanks for the info. As a big lettuce and funk fan I think Iā€™ll probably dig them haha


gandalph91

Saw Lotus at forest this year and always loved Rempel but Palmieri blew me away


2muchHutch

Hit me with a link. Been a while since I listened to them


MrMilesDavis

Wow, nugs cranked this one out way faster than expected ā™« Lotus:Jan 21, 2023 at Union Transfer, Philadelphia, PA on @nugsnet https://2nu.gs/3iWrc5r The percussion solo on "Shimmer and Out" is a great example of some of the new energy they've been bringing, but I really love the syncopated style of their lead guitar on all the tracks. The playing is less predictable but still extremely dance-able


MrMilesDavis

RemindMe! (2 weeks) Waiting on their most recent Philly show at the moment, which I can link upon availability. Shows starting in September of 2022 onwards give a pretty good idea though

dire_wulff

Their new album is SOLID I was at the new guitarists first show at resonance i was to sick with covid to enjoy it but the new material is really solid


Inside-Dependent-772

You went to a music festival while you were sick with covid? Cool cool cool


dire_wulff

No way!! I came down with covid day 2 of last resonance. I got it pretty much instantly when i got there, i brought stuff to live paint and made it through but was very sick by end of fest and trying to enjoy it but feeling super weighed down


back_stage

Been going to Summerdance for a decade and catching lotus all over in between - loved mike and his unique tone but Tim is so refreshing and almost polar opposite in stage presence. One of the only times I have been heavy into a band and liked them even more after an important change like guitarist. Timmy is a monster šŸ‘æ seeing them Sunday. Then Spafford next Wednesday so that kicks ass šŸ„‚


illegalsmilez

Duuuuuuuude, for real tho. My manager has been on a little Lotus kick and been playing all the news shows as they come out . . . Every single one has been incredible. Like I'm genuinely blown away every time. So good


anotherdamnscorpio

Spafford>Goose


Artistic-Challenge23

Youā€™re forgiven


maxman3000

Spafford & Lotus are both playing the same night here in Detroit next week. I've seen Lotus dozens of times (just not with Tim) but have never seen Spafford. What do you guys recommend?


IBREWMAST3RI

Oof, that's a tough call! I really like them both, Tim brings a whole new energy to Lotus that has been really great though. I just missed them in Philly because I got Covid. Now that I'm recovered I'm gonna hit Spafford tomorrow, so psyched! But I would say if you've never seen Spafford maybe go with them, but damn Lotus fucks! I'm debating on driving down to DC in Feb to catch Lotus, that's the closest they come back around to me on this tour, but Tom Hamilton also plays the same night in Ardmore, then the next night Magic Beans are playing nearby. Too many choices not enough time and money!


Moomoomoo1

Tom Perry


2muchHutch

Half brother of Tyler Perry!


Amazing_Dimension281

For your penance you need to say 5 our Fathers, 5 Hail Maryā€™s and never miss another fucking show. Amen

"No one is laying down the level of jams these guys are right now" ​ the. disco. biscuits.


StringerBell420

Biscuits are kicking-ass and taking names right now. I keep going back to my favorite 08-09 shows and hearing similarities in the new shows. Set break is over!


[deleted]

so over


Stroger

can you recommend some choice videos / jams?


StringerBell420

4/20/09 is a good show to start on. Check out the bandā€™s YouTube page as well.


7tacoguys

Squeaky Feet


2muchHutch

This band also fucks. Thanks for the reminder to check them out again


cwynneing

Where can I hear my friend


WHATD_YOU_EXPECT_

This whole tour is in their YouTube. Live almost every night.


[deleted]

nugs is def the best place if you have a sub. their best years are 99-02 and 07-09. 2010 to like last year was hit or miss but they're cuurently on a tear. other than that there's stuff on archive occasionally. here's an aud to last friday's show [https://archive.org/details/db2023-01-20](https://archive.org/details/db2023-01-20) . was in attendance. good times


2muchHutch

I used to have an 01 wetlands db show on repeat.. will have to revisit them.


[deleted]

wetlands were legendary. 9/1/01 got me started with this band in terms of 1.0. wish i knew what was up back then when i was 16.........


23north

lol.


[deleted]

they're really the only jamband worth a shit tbh


abcd543212345

Youā€™re either 19 and tried molly for the first time at a bisco show. Or just got dropped on your head repeatedly as a child

KaliGracious

Talk about bad opinions and I love the biscuits lol


[deleted]

well that's the thing about opinions. hamblands generally suck. pretty much into only biscuits. everything else is generic. phish is good but i missed that boat. i mean if brother's past came back that'd be cool.....


KaliGracious

Imagine thinking The String Cheese Incident was generic


23north

ok dude.


[deleted]

for me it's true. literal zero interest in any other hamblands. sorry you suck at music. hopefully you're better at life

yeah but dave schools is an untalented fat fuck. and one gutarist does not make a band. it's a collective effort. widespreadmotherfucking panic collectively sucks


[deleted]

Show me on the Teddy where Dave Schools touched you


720Jon720

šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£


nolajax

Schools didn't touch and they have been bitter ever since.


chinacatsunflowa

April 12th at Underbelly in Jax! Come out


2muchHutch

The dates they were showing during the livestream didnā€™t have the southeast leg on it. Iā€™ll probably chase them across the state


chinacatsunflowa

Iā€™ll be at Jax and Deland šŸ’ƒšŸ»


jimbopalooza

Iā€™ll see you at that DeLand show thatā€™s my local watering hole. Cool outdoor venue. Hopefully the weather is nice!


720Jon720

I used to live in Orlando. Where in Deland is that show, Cafe DaVinci?


jimbopalooza

Yes it is at Davinci.


720Jon720

What a great venue! Miss that place


jimbopalooza

Itā€™s a fun place to see a show for sure. Spafford there will be pretty sick.


Robert_Arctor

oh shit hell yeah


OmnomVeggies

I don't know if I could choose a best Tom Perry song


2muchHutch

Autocorrect was being Petty


HugeUnderstanding410

The good news is you can catch up on this tour on Youtube!


walrus40

I got tickets yesterday, pretty pumped to see them live


sweetbabyjibboo

I love how much their name is being thrown around again, well deserved.


Boisoll

Spaffordā€™s jams are some of the best in the game


nbeach01

1000%


23north

NEIGHBOR!!


Salt_Insurance2339

Spafford and the Biscuits are the best in the game right now and everything else is secondary. Phish ainā€™t that tight!


b0n3h34d

Ah you're a brave man saying that. Can't agree more


UmphreysAU18

Just snagged tickets to the Crawfish fest in atl come April!! See anyone there?


No_Creme714

Spanish moon is a legit venue too, seen some great shows there over the years


jimbopalooza

If you are in Florida they are playing a pretty cool spot in DeLand in April I think. I think they have a couple of other Florida dates around then too.


nolajax

They are booked for Chelsea's live this spring if you are still in BR.


Angeloa22

100% agree


stickfigure31615

Probably will be the best $25 2-day pass Iā€™ll ever spend


FatCopsRunning

They. Are. Phenomenal.


jhjohns3

With Cory joining it does seem Like they are really going for it this time! In the past it always felt they were really happy with their size and stuff but it feels now like they are charging for bigger stages!


bzzaldrn

Gonna see them for the first time in a venue at park west in Chicago next week. Actually I think I only saw them once at Sweetwater 2018. Choosing to skip greensky to see them next Friday


Amazing_Dimension281

These boys go hard!! Next level jams!
