Umphrey's McGee Live at The Beacon Theater - 1/18/14 - Set 2

[@francissavage3768]

What an unbelievable evening I had at the Beacon on this one these guys were THE band in 2014 for me, great stuff!!!

[@heyspeed]

Nothing beats an Umphreys show! Could they make AMAZING look anymore easy and free form? Thank the lord they found each other.

[@sneakonproductionz]

heyspeed its not as free form as it looks.... they use ear pieces to talk to eachother and the light dude and count it off.... they cheat I have met them and they told me... still love them and they crush but you can kinda tell when its really jamming.... they used to say that their jimmy stewarts were sort of written then they stopped saying that.... either they stopped or didnt like the way it sounded in the jam community

[@WilliamScheetz]

sneakonproductionz I've heard a number of time it's based on signals. Watched the Jako interview for Miles of Music with Bob Miles and he talks about their hand signals and all that. I'd like to believe that they've developed enough chemistry over the years to jam without using ear pieces, and I do.

[@sheltma1595]

sneakonproductionz explain how that is cheating exactly? Even in jamming, if you are going to change chords or keys, you have to let everyone know, or its a train wreck. Sometimes you can do that within the music with a scale climb or a known transition sequence, but not always. Some kind of signal is needed, weather a hand signal system or verbal. It's not cheating. There are no rules, and in music there is no such thing as cheating. All that matters it what gets delivered to the audience.

[@sneakonproductionz]

I was literally quoting joel when I hung out with them backstage in NY

[@drewsmithvideo]

sneakonproductionz I have also read/heard the same thing, but it's still 95% improvised. The only time its usually written out is when they want to test a new song in development, like they did with Cut the Cable and Ocean Billy for years and years without naming it as a song.

[@TomSalgo]

two years ago this set of umph changed my life, and I love them for it

[@alegreenfeld]

Yoooo Salgo! it's greeny from 04. love this show! you were there?

[@TomSalgo]

Yeah! Were you?

[@TweezerStreet]

A set for the ages. 1348 from the first set is the best jam of the night imo.

[@dward4979]

Man all this 20-20 silliness makes me wish I showed up to everyone of my 57 shows early and didn’t take too much too fast at some of them! Can’t wait to be immersed with all of you maskless umphreaks once again 🤘

[@Sarg3e]

Thanks Scott! Had so much fun at this show. Glad you were there to capture it!

[@TheTedp19]

that segue onto Glory gave me chills. damnnnnnnnnn......

[@mcarp9]

[@gbballpl]

[@francissavage3768]

At the show I thought Bayliss ever the joker seemed to be actually teasing 80s smash hit 99 Luftballons by furry armpitted German one hit wonder Nena at 31:10 - 34:30ish? I still hear it as well...Bueller???

[@MindMagicMusic]

Spirit of Radio tease at 19:20?

[@jrey506]

its actually pretty ridiculous how many teases they actually do

[@davidgroose1827]

Don't forget Xxplosive teases around @31:05!

[@MrDenver97ghost]

[@MothShadow]

[@andrewveneziano848]

I hear Norwegian Wood at 28:00

[@levinotjeans]

I agree

[@dctch]

Andrew Veneziano i hear spirit of the radio at 19:15

[@udmbfckx2916]

Andrew Veneziano I hear sort of a Rush's Xanadu-ish around 18:52, right before Spirit of the Radio....It's kinda of cool how they incorporate this into their music.

[@jwh475ezc]

Andrew Veneziano udmbfck x Essence of Brian Auger and the Oblivion Express at 51:00

[@mparamasivam9583]

Andrew Veneziano Starts at 26:48 To be exact :)

[@Bradnaavin]
