I've been honored with the opportunity to digitize some old rediscovered cassette tapes of Joel's that were found at Umphrey's headquarters.
Here's a quick tease.
On November 2, 1997 Joel Cummins performed at Annenberg Auditorium in Notre Dame, IN with guests. Some of the evening's performance included the original 4 members of Umphrey's McGee: Joel Cummins, Brendan Bayliss, Ryan Stasik and Mike Mirro.
They performed a long segment of improvisation which culminated in the first song Umphrey's McGee song that was ever performed in front of an audience, Dear Lord.
I asked Joel about it.
Joel: "Dear Lord was our first "song" we wrote together starting with that bass riff. We probably did practice it."
