Umphrey's McGee

Just cruising the shows and came across this one. The setlist is extra classic and I thought I might like it. WOW!! The fellas came out all guns blazing and ripped Much Obliged and Dump City apart. It only gets better from there...Sociable Jimmy is sweet and DBK in the second set is on fire. Buy this show. The crowd is pretty funny too. They sound like they're having tons of fun (permagrinning). All around a really cool, crunchy, rock-fest. Not for the faint of heart. GOTTA' GET THAT UMPH!!!

UM is a jamband, but even while that is true, they defiantly have a lot more of a range of genres and styles that they hit which makes them much more accesable to more than just your standard jam crowd. I have always said and firmly stand by my claim that UM is THE MOST DIVERSE BAND EVER. Within a single show you can hear 20 different styles and genres and even they will even hit 3 or 4 different stlyes within a single song/jam but still distinctly sound like themselves. concider if you heard, in a single set, Divitions, Ringo, The Triple Wide, Party Peeps, Wizard Bural Ground, and Bright Lights, Big City. you are covering soooo much ground musicly it's mind boggling. plus thier covers, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Guns N' Roes, Led Zeppelin, and now in this show, Rage Agaist the Machine, just to name a few of the bands they've covered. there is literally NOTHING this band cannot play.

My first time at the Fillmore, got chills...Solid show-bridgeless opener was sick; not much singing the first set...Listening to Gulf Stream at the show, I thought it was a little cheesy, but now I actually really enjoy it. DBK gnar is what I live for. And bombtrack, hayeah- sorry to any girls I may have elbowed to the floor during this one.

can anyone post something about the show?

During the earlier days, I`d say they were certainly a jam band. Now, however, I think it`s pretty tough to classify them at all, and if any genre were to fit them, it`d be progressive rock... that has improvisations. It`s a tough call, but I think "progressive rock" certainly does them more justice currently.

they are a jamband but the best one i have ever heard. but they dont try to please just hippies.

just to clarify, UM is a jamband.

Needed to wait til re-listening, having been there and all, to put up this review, just to make sure.Simply put, Umphreys is not quite a "jam" band, and it`s probably a disservice to them to call them that. The peeps who went to see the "jam" band at the Fillmore left in droves throughout the night, because I was watching them go, String Cheese & New Riders of Sage they are not!Those who went to see an incredibly talented band melt their face with a rock and roll explosion stayed til the last note of rage.Particularly Chris Myers the drummer. I could of sworn I missed a turn and ended up at a Martin Atkins industrial show this night. Wow, best drummer I`ve ever seen or heard, argue with me from now til, oh gee, the end of time, and you won`t convince me otherwise.But, anyways, new song "Gulf Stream" just incredible, really cool and possibly one of Umphreys most "feel good" songs. Jake sounding really really great on vocals throughout this one, and when Brendan kicks in it almost turns orgasmic (definitely had chills listening to this one, and the chills came back after the relisten). Bombtrack was a lot better in person, doesn`t quite come through on the disc (Burn burn burn).Download this show for the new song and 2.5 hours of rage (against the machine).

Hey party people. Yeah, You guys rock. I would love to drink and smoke out to your show again.

I just want to say, You guys rock. Pay that snuka. Yeah, oh yeah. When are you guys coming down to San Diego again? Best show ever.
