Re: Umphrey's McGee Appreciation Thread.
Had an awesome weekend. 3 nights capped with the 20th anniversary show on my bday, was just a great occasion. I loved the idea for the anniversary show and had a blast with it. Yea it was different and I understand why it's getting some flack for the lack of crazy bustouts and improv, but it was a sweet concept that showed their history well. To be really executed properly they needed 3 sets for it, but given the time restrictions I thought they did the best they possibly could fitting in 20 different tunes from the last 20 years. For being around 50 shows in I also got a nice number of firsts this weekend. Excluding the obvious new songs I caught my first Spires, Memories of Home, North Route, and No Comment. Excited for New Haven on Thursday.
