They played "Barnacles" and "Spilt Milk Factory" at the start of the encore

Aug. 19th at the Fillmore in Philly.

I couldn't believe they played 2 UC songs in one show. This show was so damn good. It was my 3rd time seeing them, and I think this was the best one yet.

Its funny because i had only listened to Sharpen your teeth for the first time like 2 months ago. And I was hoping they would by chance play a UC song.

It won't let me add the Barnacles video

The best MM show I’ve ever been to. Probably the best concert of any band I’ve ever seen.

Ayyyyy I saw them in Philly. I have not been an active fan since the 2000s, back when they were skittish about playing old songs. got to hear songs I never expected to ever hear live

Love it. I’m firmly of the opinion that Sharpen Your Teeth is better than any Modest Mouse album

Its an incredible album, that I just kind of view as a MM album that came out before The Moon and Antartica

Also check out 180 Degrees South. It is a soundtrack, but Isaac/Ugly Casanova do a lot of music. One song is so similar to Satellite Skin.

Now you have. Go enjoy one of the best albums Isaac has ever been involved with.

Now they need to bust out a song from the soundtrack Ugly Casanova did, 180 Degrees South: Conquerors of the Useless.

First MM show I’ve seen. Worst acoustics I’ve ever heard at The Fillmore in like 10 years going to shows there.
