Umphrey's McGee

Really great playing from the boys. The sound was way better than I expected upon entering the shed, Kevin is the man! It also seems Waful has some new lights which really changed the look of the light show, which is as amazing as the music!Highlights include a spectacular Phil's Farm weaved with Atmos and Fuzz, a very fun combo. I like the new song, Cold Smoke. 1348 is smoking. This is the sickest Much Obliged I've heard with a funky Joel lead jam with a great transition into the wonderful Roulette. Bottom Half also has slick improv. Red Tape is raging, a must hear for any Red Tape haters. Mitten followed by YYZ! A great surprise. The encore is the best I've ever seen the jam out of Soup is incredible with a raging buildup to the end of Fancy. This is a high energy show and I highly recommend the download.

live > album (always)

these sets were beyond amazing. I've heard some pretty balls-to-the-wall shows and this was no exception. the guys played phenomenally tight and the crowd was just as much into the band as they were into the crowd.the live mixes are some of the best I've ever heard--even rivaling the album mixes.

I've love Umphrey's and I've seen them a handful of times...and I have to say this was the BEST UM I'VE EVER SEEN. Some may disagree, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue as to why. I just can't imagine a better, more fun, more interesting band to see live. Much Obliged was jaw dropping and the personal highlight of the night. This show sealed the deal for me: I'll be a lifelong UM fan. Their music and their approach to sharing it with the audience is completely unique among any current touring bands. Long live UM!

I thought this show was on fire. Especially the second set. There was a last minute venue change to a warehouse-type setting. It sure felt like Umph pulled out all the stops for this one in response to the inconvenience and the funky venue. I think it's worth the money. Can't wait for my next chance to catch the boys.
