Just out of curiosity....why is the abbreviation for "Unbroken Chain" , "UBC" ? Shouldn't it be "UB"? That is all.

Good point, it should really be UC. Damn hippies can't spell at all!!

UC=univeristy of california

...i always thought it needed 4 words to be abbreviated...

That's what acronyms are for. See you next month?

for sure man!

I was listening to the broadcast the other night but wasnt really "listening" as I was looking at weather and avy data for a NY day climb. See pic for some great visuals I caught.

Agree that UBC (I like that acronym for Unbroken Chain.......it seems to make sense) is a tune that Furthur really can jam on and just about always is strong. Just watched the vid, it was a good one.

Jeff does really take off on the solo, and IMHO he did that many times during the 2 shows I saw, it was good stuff.

I really liked 12/29/11 version of UBC which has been my #1 for the last year and I still think it is.

Like DenverMan, I really liked Sunday night, especially that 2nd set. I didnt stop dancing the entire time, even in days. They took Dark Star in a new direction that was a blast and I have to admit that there was a number of songs (Other One for example) where it seemed they had a real good time changing the normal structure.

Man I loved that Other One!!

sweet shot...although looks like it was taken from a chairlift?

LOL. Yep!!! I got up on NY day and well, after dancin' my ass off Sat and Sun and catching an early flight on Mon and a few glasses of wine NYE...............I wussed out and just went lift skiing. HAHA

Nice catch bro. I was wondering if anyone would cause it was a disconnect with the cable in the pic which doesnt usually show up when climbing.

That being said, I do use the lift system to start climbs some days out the to the back of the valley.

I can't wait to hear it. I wasn't there this year, but my friends were and they said it was very subdued, as if Phil was holding back.

Well, based on the video posted above, it sounded pretty damned good to me. Jeff's bit was amazing! Best ever? Who knows? But it was pretty amazing!

I remember thinking the Unbroken at the Greek this October beat the NYE Unbroken.

Ya know, that was great one too. I liked it as well. Just goes to show the UBC is a song that they really jam on.
