Today in Umphrey's McGee History

Those shows were fire. I’d definitely put both in my top 20 seen. 11.9 was probably my favorite show I saw that year too. First UMLives I bought were those two shows.

Absolutely, 11/9 is such a heater. November 2006 might be the best month of UM ever…11/2, 11/4, 11/9, 11/10, 11/16

I have some pics from that run Gus. Good ‘ole 11/10/06! Only show I missed from moe down on 9/2 through Jam Cruise 7. Broke my streak at 27 straight shows…bummer!

Listening back to 11/9 today…I think I actually prefer it to 11/10. Yeah 11/10 has the 4 song second set but the HBB > Higgins > HBB segment is not really that interesting.

OTOH, 11/9 is pretty fire from start to finish. Robot World > August is fantastic. RW has a very Release-ish jam toward the end into August, which has a fucking searing solo from Bayliss and then a beautiful piano solo by Joel out of August. And I forgot about that Plunger with the Mantis jam!

I am a huge sucker for UM covering Bill Frisell’s cover of Heard it Through the Grapevine, and that entire Divisions segment is incredible. The Divisions jam is a real gem (12-17mins)

Allll about the 11/9 August. The Passing fakeout out of RW is great UM too. As for the 10th, I love the space before that Hey 19. What a segment, and yeah the HBB doesn’t do much

11/9/07 was the first show I ever heard / bought with an itunes gift card. Always will have a special spot

We got some good rarities at this one. Why didn’t you make the Chattanooga show last fall? Would’ve scored you another FP.

I was in Texas the last 2 1/2 years. Wasn’t able to GITV nearly as much

If you live south of Colorado and west of the Mississippi get fucked

You’ve only seen 1 FP? That’s mind boggling, purely from the standpoint of how many shows you’ve recorded.

Wasn’t this on one of the UM podcasts? Maybe I’m thinking of a different version.

123 shows. 1 Front Porch

Noob. I’ve seen like 5

Yes, it’s like 40 min of one of them.

Holy shite. I got one at my first 2 shows

That is crazy. I have seen 10 in 200.

43 shows. 1 Front Porch
99.9% chance of a second Front Porch in the next 80.

452 shows and I’ve only heard Front Porch 20 times…I did catch one at my first show though!

It’s become a once a year song. So it’s not too crazy.

74 shows in and I’ve only seen 1 FP. Didn’t get it until my 65th show
