Preach brother. I have literally left two Umphrey’s shows not blown away at that time for the experience I just witnessed. They are my favorite shit in the world and were my world for the whole ride of my 20s. Every year I was going back to the drawing board trying to come up with more ways to see shows. Unfortunately I made some dumb decisions the first year of my 30s and am still picking up the pieces so I have slowed way down on what’s my show counting but I intend to get back at it in due time. There is nothing I love more than being on tour and seeing all of you awesome people. Putting myself back in the position to hit a couple 10-15 show stretches with this band again to see the evolution of their jams on the road as they hit different cities is a priority of mine post pandemic. I’d love to see y’all peeps again! Been listening to the band a lot more since I’ve been on here again and it feels good for the soul. Excited to work my way through some of the recommended shows from the last couple years. \mm/
Just listening to this and before the interview she mentions the two fan songs. Again, made it sound like the fans have paid and the band is working on it.

Idk how she reads the description without laughing.
She mentioned she interviews umphreaks, we should have her interview a representative for the bort.
It def needs to be @cryan024
So this raises the very serious question: did Sultan buy a different song and now is trying to recoup some of his $10k from random wooks under the guise of a VfJ song?
No, some guy name Shua (aka @Professor_Shuapop) won the ebay bid
Right, but in his desire to be the in-guy amidst a wicked 20-hour-jam-sesh/yak-off-a-broken-headstock-bender, did he (Sultan) reach out to KB and say “I’ll pay another $10k for another song”? Then when he sobered up, he realized that he made a mistake and is trying to scam some fanbois in VfJ out of $100 to recoup some of his costs?
Most likely scenario is she knows Sultan and hes been bragging for weeks about how stoked the band is and how much they LOVE his (their collective) ideas. They also told him he has great big American penis!!
@jwelsh8 can you confirm or deny whether or not the band has written and completed the transaction with their $10k song ?
This whole thing is peculiar. If some rich bro wants an UM song for themselves, strange but I get it I guess. But this sultan ponzi scheme has me fascinated
While he’s at it, would also like to know what’s going on with the In The Round recordings…
Also I’ve been loving the @Southern_Dan brain dumps. More plz. Everything that can be remembered from everyone needs archived !
They’re going to sell them separately at $24.99 a pop.
I really feel like this true because they put all of their stuff up on nugs. Including their VIP sets.
I hate you for this, I read this and read it out loud at work in a Chinese accent like they use for South Park.
Japanese accent, man!
Ummmm what?
Alright, so the break up IS hitting him hard afterall
Sultan needs a hug.
Maybe he thought he was on one of his burner accounts and was complimenting himself from there? Maybe 50% of VFJ is just Sultan burner accounts that he uses to praise himself and give himself more likes?
