Justin Bruce reviews his favorite 31 jamming moments from 2025's Here and How Tour: Leg 1, which comprised 17 shows across 10 states in February and early March.

Nearly half of this 72 minute episode is Eggy improvisation; think of it as a sonic "Watercolor Days" painting of where the band is at at this point in time. As always, special thanks to the band for their permission to use SBD recordings on this podcast.

2025's Here and How Tour: Leg 2 continues from March through April in the Northeast and Southeast; check Eggy's tour dates and don't miss out if they're playing near you!

Here's a Nugs playlist of the 29 tunes that birthed the 31 Type II highlights in this episode.

The 2025 Jam Chart on TheCarton.net documents Eggy's best improvisation.

Ryan's Storm Sound Rig Rundowns are worth your time! The new Mike Goodman bass rig video, the new Jake Brownstein guitar rig video (thanks for the Vice or Virtue shout out, Jake!) and the Dani Battat keyboard rig video from summer 2023 are all great.
