Since i haven't seen Umphrey's live yet i haven't fully understood why this band is getting so much hype. So recently i got this live show and it has definitely influenced me to want to go see them. Here is my favorite song from this particular live show. I suggest downloading it from archive.org. It has great sound quality and the songs kick ass. It was played April 8, 2008 at the Egyptian. If you don't have any of their music, i suggest getting their live stuff and n... MORE

UM
(8)
After ten years playing together and helping hold the "jamband" genre together you would think these guys would be getting the love they deserve, maybe the new release will put them over the top, or maybe they're just trying too hard. Regardless UM holds a permanent bookmark in my library and I'm sure a few of yours as well. This vid reminded me of Ray's earlier post. Share the love.Mulche's Odyssey > Immigrant Song

Last Night I headed over to Williamsburg to finally check out a concert at McCarren Pool. I'm guessing Umphrey's McGee is not exactly the normal band you see in the hipster haven...I've seen them a handful and they usually don't disappoint. To be honest I couldn't even tell you the set list- one song blends effortlessly into another...wow that sounds cliche. While Umphrey's is no Phish- which I feel like I grew up on. I'll take them. I'll even try to not feel old by ... MORE

The D.U.M.B TourUmphrey’s McGee co-headlining with The Disco BiscuitsCharlottesville Pavilion - Charlottesville, VAJune 27, 2007, 6:50PM Whenever there is a jamband-y show at the Charlottesville Pavilion, the pedestrian mall leading up to the venue gets taken over by swarms of hippies. This amuses me to no end. You can see the look of terror on locals’ faces as they’re dining at the outdoor cafés and are suddenly engulfed in a sea of tie-dye, dreadlocks, and patchouli.... MORE

So yay, I've definitely got a ticket to see Umphrey's McGee & The Disco Biscuits tomorrow night. It's a treat that I'll be seeing them together - I've heard from folks who were on the Jam Cruise that the Umphrey's McBisco collaboration is blazing.
In honor, here's some Nemo to help me get my Umphreak on...

Umphrey's is so often lumped into the "jam band" category yet they are playing music and engaging in improvisation that progresses far beyond the usual jamspam. Take this track for instance..."Water" has time signatures and arrangements that sound far more like Yes or Gentle Giant than any modern day jam band. There are some stylistic similarities to some of Phish's more complex and arranged tracks (in this case, "Guyute" comes to mind). See for yourself...

The dual guitar assault team of Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss make Umphrey's McGee a guitar-lovers dream. Sharing lead guitar duties with complimentary styles and tones, the UM guitarists somehow manage to each retain virtuoso status without stepping on each others toes. Nowhere is this more apparent than in this version of Uncle Wally....from the licks traded in the opening bars to the beautifully constructed end solo that builds to a soaring peak, this is the trac...

I can't say enough about Umphrey's McGee. Since I got introduced to them in early 2005, they've monopolized by listening time like no other band before them. Steely Dan, Yes, Metallica, Frank Zappa, Blue Oyster Cult and Return to Forever are the DNA of Umphrey's...a truly modern progressive rock band with enough of an edge to appeal to rockers, but complex compositions and virtuoso playing that appeals to prog and fusion fans as well. They're often miscategorized as a ... MORE

Just saw Umphrey's McGee http://www.umphreys.com/ this past Friday at the Fillmore. Maybe I'm behind the 8 ball on these guys but, you know, I got a 2 and a half year old. Seriously, they were really good and it was great to be back at the Fillmore. (The bartenders are still grumpy though. I guess some things never change) Umphrey's seem to be succesfully bridging the Jam Band scene to the Indie Rock thing. I highly recommend checking them out. I was willing to go b... MORE
