Jicks Picks Volume 3.2: "...Wig Out At Remko's" 2014-2016

Image
The former "Volume 3", which was up to rev. 4, just got way too long and unwieldy, so with the latest round of additions this has now been forked to two subvolumes, both of which now reset to "rev 1" in this perfectly transparent scheme I came up with for tracking changes.  This post will cover the second of those subvolumes, for the remaining Jagbags era, the period of touring in 2015 which saw a lot of very short-lived new songs get tried out and dropped, and coverage from a few special covers-focused sets. 01 Chartjunk - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 02 Scattergories - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 03 Lariat - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 04 The Hook - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 05 The Janitor Revealed - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 06 Shibboleth - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 07 Jo Jo's Jacket - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 08 Out of Reaches - 2014-03-15 Star Theatre, Portland OR 09 No One Is (As...
