As promised, here’s us with Nick :) https://preview.redd.it/xr681pjz477d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1994cbc528e7e18bf1cc0bbef6d65c7edc4490df

This is the most wholesome thing I've seen on this sub in a while! Fantastic!

Haha thanks man. Yeah I take Nick everywhere - his parents love that he rocks out! He’s got 4 Goose shows, 2 Bisco, 2 Magic Beans, 2 Spafford, Phish, and countless Glass Pony shows (my band haha) now. I have literally the best job in the world.

Thanks for doing such great work, you are awesome!

Spafford is consistently a good time and usually are in town here right around my birthday so a bit of a tradition too. Spafford, Biscuits, and Squeaky Feet are basically the top of the heap for enormous amounts of killer improv night after night. Few really come close

Those are my top three also. Literally the last three shows I saw.

The middle of a Phish/Biscuits Venn diagram is always how I thought of Spafford too! They’re awesome.

Yup 100%! And I love them for it haha

I fucking love spafford can’t wait to see them Friday

Dude if they have a copy of Live Wax 2 still could you snag me a copy? I fucking forgot to pick it up on Saturday and they’re sold out online haha

I ordered one online and can confirm - both sides of that album are BANGERS, and it sounds so good on vinyl. Hope you find one

Yeah I just spaced on getting it Saturday. I’m sure they’ll put it back up if they come home with copies Edit - OH! Question! Does the Diesel Driver have the darker dancey 2nd jam? Or is it just the song and then the first guitar solo jam? The 2nd before it hits into Virtual Bean Dip is where the real money of that jam is IMO

Oh it has the jam. That side doesn’t even have the actually diesel driver song lol it just starts at the first jam

Fuuuuuuck okay!

Tried… they canceled the first leg of their tour :’)

And the last leg of their Spring tour.

They had a serious car accident this winter, everyone survived, a bit bruised, but shaken. Healing time!

Spafford gets dirty with it!!

Northlands was my first time seeing them! Loved all of what I saw. Looking forward to seeing them at Dillon amp in July.

Spafford are great musicians

Their drummer Nick is probably my favorite right now.

My first Spafford show will be Dillon, post Cheese and I am really looking forward to it!

Hell yeah that will be wicked! Still haven’t had a chance to see SCI, they don’t come to Albany lol

Not a ton of East Coast Cheese, but you get your Spafford!

Definitely want to catch them if they come back through Nashville

Spafford rips so hard. Corey Schectman is an absolute wizard and he deserves all the praise in the world. I hope Brian is back soon and good as new.

Yeah I love Corey. Red was great but I prefer Corey. Mike is killing it with them too

I saw their first show w/ Mike in Rochester and I had no clue what to expect, but they played well with apparently little to no practice.

I like that he’s a little more spacey and textural than Brian. Brian is great of course but Mike is so much more up my alley in terms of approach. I’m from Albany, hoping to get our band to Rochester someday! Is Bug Jar the place to go?

Three Heads is a good option, very jam friendly

Sick thank you!

Thinking about going to see them for my birthday this Friday. Just wish they were playing a better venue.

GO! This isn’t even a question. Colony on Saturday was so small and it still sounded awesome and Mike won’t be playing with them forever. Go!

Catching them tonight!

Duuuuude could I pay you to snag a copy of Live Wax 2? I spaced on it :(

My bad man I didn’t check my phone at all

lol it’s all good

Always go see the undercards. They are absolutely crushing right now.

10000% Mike is KILLING IT

theyre sick... caught em once in a tiny venue and holy fuck brian moss can play some guitar. i also love that electronic sound.

Yeah dude there was maybe 200 people at our show. Incredible.

spafford fux

Dude! It was really great hangin out with you! What a great time!

Yeah man! Hope you’re doing okay, I seem to have picked up a nasty bug somewhere along the line now. Feels like I have the flu a bit or some nonsense 😑😑😑

No I’m fine man hope u feel better soon! Can’t wait to see Glass Pony again!

Next show July 11th at the Bethlehem town park! Free, 6-7:30!

Hey man check your DM’s

Going Sunday! Can’t wait, really dig them!

Absolutely worth every penny I’ve spent to see them every time.

For real! They killed at Northlands

Funny enough, since they announced new dates today, I will be going to see Spafford again!

Spafford fucking slams. I've seen them twice and they've put on killer sets both times

saw them front row at cave jam they fuck for sure

Very heart warming. Coming from a dad with a daughter tht has autistm, Thanks for what you do!

Look into Com Hab services near you!!! There’s so much available from OPWDD/Medicaid funding. It’s literally life changing.

Spafford ripped last month at the cave jam in Tennessee. It was truly a special show ,

They stream EVERY show on YouTube for free. Yes, that’s zero dollars. You want the whole tour? That will also be free. There’s a good crew of regulars with years of Spafford experience Spafford.

They didn’t stream my show and it’s the only one not on Bandcamp lol

I'd love to but they keep canceling their shows in the Midwest. Once they stop canceling their Midwest shows I will happily attend another Spafford show.

They had to cancel shows because they were in bad accident

Was happy to catch them in Milwaukee last fall. I haven’t seen them come nearby since, would love to see them again

Weird, was it because of Brian’s injuries?

As far as I know, yes. And that's not on the band but maybe take a break from scheduling shows in the Midwest until you know that you're capable of following through. From the band's perspective, don't they regret regularly refunding people who order their concert tix in advance? Seems like a hassle they wouldn't want to regularly deal with.

Dude they can’t control getting in a wreck. They didn’t do it to the Midwest on purpose. I was supposed to go to Louisville and it was as a huge bummer but telling them to stop scheduling shows in your region cuz they have bad luck there is so silly

I get that they can't control getting into a car wreck but after canceling the Midwest leg of a tour twice in a row... Wouldn't you want to be sure that you'll follow through next time? Keep in mind they can schedule concerts wherever they want...

I hear they’re *Spadford* you *Edit*

I’m not sure what this means haha

Fucking duh

Really stoked to see Spafford at Hula this year
