Celebrating Queens at Purim 2025

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 <a href="https://eggymusic.com/tour" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eggy's tour dates</a> and don't miss out if they're playing near you! Here's a <a href="https://2nu.gs/4kE44Um" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nugs playlist</a> of the 29 tunes that birthed the 31 Type II highlights in this episode.

This episode includes 31 Eggy clips, each about 1 minute in length, and 9 clips of possible covers, so kick back and relax. Here's a <a href="https://2nu.gs/3Zj93Rt" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nugs.net playlist</a> from Brian of most of the covers and cover sets we, um, cover in this episode.
