@goldlikejoel Love you guys always and forever. Will still see you play every chance I get. Change is hard, and I'm certainly bummed by the news, but I'm also looking forward to the continuing evolution of one of my favorite bands for the past 20+ years. Onward...
@goldlikejoel See you @brooklynbowl tmrw, on my buddy @enwyse's birthday, with about a dozen friends in tow (after a nice meal at Traif - highly recommend if you've never been)! Jon and I don't get out to see you guys as much as we used to, and would love a big ole JaJunk please!
@umphreysmcgee@goldlikejoel FYI about the band TrΓΌkken playing with you @capitoltheatre: Their guitarist Robbie Mangano is incredible and has played in multiple Zappa trib bands with different FZ alumni over the past ~25 years. And Sean Lennon's band GOASTT. A sit-in would be π₯
@Denis__Morton just discovered you you were on Twitter... What's up with the \mm/ in this thumbnail? Loving the umph love! Hope you made it to one of the shows this weekend! #umphreys#CarpeDM
@Soundcaresser@goldlikejoel Any idea what the story is here? Were you/the band in studio for this ride yesterday? I know he gives you guys love in the jam band rides, but there was no mention during this one!
@ryanstasik @umphreysmcgee@goldlikejoel@KrisMyersDrums What a show! Jams in almost every song, including a couple atypical spots. And that second set was everything I had hoped for. 3 new songs, all with improv. Escape Goat > Wizard > New Wings was my highlight, but Hourglass and Roctopus were a couple unexpected bangers too!
I have returned from a 5 year Twitter hiatus to sing the praises of #AskingForAFriend by @umphreysmcgee. Easily my favorite studio album since Mantis. I'm feeling renewed UMthusiasm, & can't wait for Asbury! Ready to premiere Hiccup (JO)? @goldlikejoel @ryanstasik @KrisMyersDrums
@YeldarbNoswal@umphreysmcgee@goldlikejoel @ryanstasik @KrisMyersDrums I enjoy all the studio albums. I loved DBS, SS and INY/IU, but they never got as much play from me as AD & Mantis. This new one is just hitting in a different way for me. Part of it could be that they're all new songs, but I feel the songwriting and production are at a new level.
@dvntownsend This is a very exciting prospect!
By the way, I purchased last weekend's stream but was unable to attend... Will it be posted or otherwise made available for replay anywhere?
@dvntownsend Thank you for that amazing show in Brooklyn on Saturday. I was nowhere near ready for the concert to end. I know money may be an issue, but have you ever thought about doing a 2-set "evening with" tour of the US? I'd gladly pay out double the ticket price to see that
@goldlikejoel Raw Stewage and S2 are a must. Then I'd love a "one song set" (essentially an all improv set) like you did with Ringo in Denver. For a 4th quarter, I think I'd prefer a band-chosen bustout/rarities/new songs set than a fan-chosen one. In for both nights of UM Bowl! Can't wait!
