Favorite Shows of 2005

Utica in Dec. if I could remember more of it would be another one. I do recall a sickass Quality Control Jam though!

God I almost forgot about the StevieG birthday celebration.  Absolutely a great fuckin show.  Damn  Leith, the east coast show syou made last your were rediculous

Yeah I consider myself one of the luckiest people on earth to have experienced the Breakfast shows I did last year back east.

Every single one of them are in my personal top 25 shows of my life except for UAC III but hell, shit blew up @ that show so it was special also!

My favorite show of 2005, and perhaps of all time is Porters 6/10/05.  For me an incredible show depends on two factors.  The first being how the crowd is feeling the show.  If the crowd is receiving the band well and rocking out, that intensifies the overall experience.   From my perspective everyone was equally feeling the energy.  The second factor comes from a particular musical epiphany that  occurs at some point in the show.  That epiphany came during Ep2 >WUIAC> Ep2.  In my mind that was perfect combination that touched something in my soul, and I\'m sure much of the audience could atest to that as well.  That was the type of moment I can recreate in my mind, and it still gives me goosebumps if I think about it today.  In general Ep2\'s roller coaster format easily allows an emotional explosion.  Adding Ep2 + WUIAC = SER Bliss.  Honestly, after Mooboos ended I wanted the show to end.  There was nothing the band could play after that, that could create such an emotional high.  I think 1 or 2 songs placed together can make a good show into unbelievable.

The wheel show was in April.
And I wasn\'t implying that this show was THE best, but def. one of them!!! Off the top of my head, I\'d have to say Porter\'s (forget which one) and Puppet House Sgt. Peppers for two of THE best! There were many and I was just adding to the list.
