I haven't listened to this yet and I already have a big ass smile on my face! \mm/

"You're a slacker McFly, just like your father." UM's lineup is absolute perfection. Two excellent guitar players - one extraordinary and the other almost his equal and capable of so much more than rhythm support. Bayliss can rip off some outstanding lead runs on that PRS while enjoying a fine cabernet in a crystal glass. And Jake - nobody can touch him - he's an encyclopedia of music and can play like his G & L is on fire. No bullshit jumping around and putting on a poseur show to demonstrate how hard he's working - instead he's all business like an open heart surgeon - killing it right from the jump. Keys - Joel is amazing and can play any genre.. And the perfect rhythm section: Stasik's solid bass that never misses or waivers, Kris' drumming of the snap-crackle-pop variety, and killer percussion from Andy. So much better the 2 drummers lineup, which can often be muddy and labored. Musical alchemists capable of switching gears faster then McQueen in Bullitt who, after years of playing together, communicate via telepathy. Nobody better than UM. I've never seen them have on off night. Like Roy Hobbs, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be.

They are a musical circus man. Been my favorite band for going on about 14 years. HUUGE influence on my own musical mind. Im looking to put a live project together to do what they do, as in no boundaries or limits to what we play. Run through every damn style of music in one set, hell in one song!

[@jleslie2179]

Omg this is so good.

[@NicholasKrise]

It's an aural "Big - O" each and every time I hear it. The amount of talent on that stage is simply unfair to other bands.

[@jg102xc]

If you want to be physically assaulted by listening to music than these are your guys. They stay killing it! 🤟🏻

[@jamestauscher2959]

Love that right hand slide down Stasik does around 2:00 before they bring it down to jam.

[@mont8823]

I do admire MINI KISS.

[@newssalad7549]

it looks like Kris has an old banana peel on that cymbal ... the funky banana

[@AVinkMaster]

Waful'd.

[@mikehunt3280]

My kids are growing up thinking listening to UM is church. Grandma loves that.

[@peaelare]

Thanks for contributing to my slacking off as I work for another man's ends.

[@esaltes]

[@adampeach7489]

[@ohmykai207]

[@mont8823]

One more set list with you TRIP HOPPIN'. one more mash up this morning no stoppin.

[@wiskatesnow]

The slacker from a couple months before this in St. Paul was better!

[@gregorixo]

Fucking christ, the change at the 13:00 minute is without a doubt the most rocking, heaviest, fucking thing I've ever heard! And it has a Brandon solo too! Thank you Umphrey's, I'm in tears here watching this.

[@READERSENPAII]

Umphreys will be recognized as one of the best jambands of all time in the years to come. They are such good performers and the UM light shows are so fucking good, better than any other band.

[@justinmanning7575]

The boys have the best pacing! From jamming to funky to laid back.

[@alegreenfeld]

Sooooo dank in 2019¡!¡!¡!¡!

[@Cynthcoll]

I cannot wait for the Red Rocks shows! You guys rock my soul! Thank you for all you so. I have not heard ❤️❤️❤️original music like this since the 70’s or older. Love this band! Keep on going! You re renewal to the of the tunes of our times!,,,,, Love you

[@NicholasKrise]

That you get it, and to what degree it moves your soul says more about you than them. I've tried preaching the UM gospel for going on 4 years now - most of my friends will have none of it. "It's too long.." "Where's the words?" I just want to pound my fist and tell them if you give them some attention and an open mind, they will reward you in spades. But it's a waste of breath.

[@rayr8169]

Thank you for 4 straight nights of Umph love for ATL!!!!

[@sunnylark369]

Jake is sooo fine, like Hook me up!!😍😍😂

[@TheHeroicDoses]

* w/ Saturday in the park jam

[@devins1195]

[@mikeysampopowich7459]

More please :)

[@justinlalugski2083]

sounds great for a Phish cover band

[@rookiem8]

you mean those fools that jump around on a trampoline like little kids attempting to take away from the fact their slackers when it comes to writing anything good? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PHISH ON END OF MY LINEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@NicholasKrise]

UM is Phish with a college doctorate.

[@cutrara7]

UM quit playing phish covers in '98

[@READERSENPAII]

HAHAHHAHA. Every single UM song is ten times more musical than phish. Dont be angy thatsignal oasis was shit and now that trey is sober they can't make anything but garbage. Don't get me wrong phish is one of my favorite bands, but that's mostly nostalgia. UM continues to put out music decade after decade of different stuff.

[@justinlalugski2083]

relax everyone it was a joke lol, i like UM

[@rookiem8]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
