My first Umphrey's show and it was absolutely mind blowing...if there was any doubt as to if they were my favorite band before that night...there is none anymore. Buy this fucking concert, it'll change your life.

so i was NOT at this show. but that being said, just listening to it i will say it is up there amongst the best of 2009 so far. i have every show to date and i can say that comfortably. they "move around" in the songs with a comfort and relaxation that is even unusual for umphrey's. it's hard to explain. if you know them well, you will appreciate what i'm saying. they were just so, so loose on this night (not their playing...that was tight as a duck's ass...which we all know is watertight) which translates to some really special, exploratory playing. i can't even imagine what it was like to BE at this show. seeing them tonight and tomorrow and will be thrilled if they can bring 70% of what they brought on this night. yeah...it's that good.

Where are all the fans? Well, you're missing out!! Last year these guys played to PACKED houses at Toad's and Calvin and this year I could pretty much go where I wanted unencumbered. Too bad for you, the band is on fire; they're peaking hard. Both phenomenal shows with one being a rare acoustic performance. I wish I could quit my job to hit the road.

i have seen roughly 12 UM shows, and this show ranks right up there as one of the best i've seen...the first set was loaded with crowd favorites (kitchen, triple wide, 40s) and the second set was full of variety, (spires, equal rights (peter tosh cover), and the bottom half) and the encore rocked with the fuzz and glory, two of my personnel favs...this was a monster!!!

WOW!! One of the best shows I have ever seen! The light show was incredible, so much energy, amazing jams, unique music style. GOD I love them. A Pink Floyde cover, a sick reggae jam. I'm so glad I get to listen to it over and over again!
