Random, Spontaneous Thoughts about UM (Part 1)

This is the 2011 Brooklyn Bowl show again… or am I fuckin up?

Should be Sweetwater Fest. Just saw it on their YouTube page.

What the … i went to nugs.net and to April 20th webcast, hit play and the 2011 show was on. Refreshed etc, still that show. I go to youtube itself and the nugs.net page and it’s Sweetwater. I have no clue what happened there

Had same issue. Just went to YouTube.

Just wanted to say Pork Chop Pie fucks:

Unrelated but if you haven’t heard the bananas story you must (stage banter before set two):

My roommate’s watching a Wappy from 2008 and it reminds me just how much better musicians they all are now. Less improv or not, they are remarkably better as a band performing music these days IMO.

Did you expect them to regress as musicians over the past 12 years?

Those were my second and third shows. Fall 05 was the shit.

No, but the bias toward older UM because the jams were longer brah would lead you to somewhat believe that

Just got an update via Google about a new album called “destination bound”. Anybody have any idea?

I wish the jimmy stewart album they released in 07-08 was on Spotify

Any Facebook group dedicated to Umphrey’s “discussion” is worse than hemorrhoids, fact.

I was very confused last night. Figured out the TLG thing this morning.

I started seeing UM in 2014 and when I go back and listen to older stuff I’m usually not blown away. There are some major exceptions but the band has this level of consistency right now that’s easy to take for granted.

my brain’s been quaranTWANGed too long

I think Chris Mitchell is a large part in why they sound so much better now vs the 00’s.
