Umphrey's McGee - Glory - 11/3/2006

I still watch this Glory sometimes when I’m feeling down.

[OSUmBeaverPhreak]

I’m probably responsible for at least 1,000 of the 199K views on that video lol. Just put it on now! There was a time in my life circa 2008 when I’d start every walk to campus playing this version of Glory. It truly is epic.

[solvethebox]

I’ve already watched it twice today

[TomAce]

I used to watch all of Prowler>Glory>AIT often. Hard to believe it’s been 15 years.

10 years ago today was the best Reso jam with vocals ever.

@CarpetCrawler

That 11-2-06 show is packed full of top tier moments, and I would’ve never expected either of the 2 shows that followed to hit anywhere near those same levels, but this show is right there with it, IMHO…

11.04.2006
THE EAGLES BALLROOM
MILWAUKEE, WI

Set 1: Ocean Billy > Blue Echo[1] > Ocean Billy, Push the Pig > Partyin’ Peeps, 2x2

Set 2: Pay the Snucka > The Triple Wide[2] > Pay the Snucka[3] > Words > Red, In The Kitchen > Miss Tinkle’s Overture

[3] with Winkie Chant (Wizard of Oz)

Obligatory yearly bump, and the 15 year anniversary.

[WhoDatVols]

Just gave this a listen. Honestly wish they would’ve dragged the Bayliss vocals out longer. Sounds damn good in it

[flyfishmich]

Jake and Joel built this nicely to the vocals and it peaks nicely after the vocals. Short jam overall but definitely high quality.

[Yawnspterodactyl]

Ya one of my favorite lyrical stews they’ve done

[flyfishmich]

I can honestly say I didn’t realize how good it was at the time.

[Yawnspterodactyl]

Normally the way it works haha. It’s in my top 5 all time for lyrical stews. As you said no jam but the vocals are spot on

[flyfishmich]

@Yawnspterodactyl

As you said no jam but the vocals are spot on

The build throughout was what really impresses me, with an abrupt peak and drop into Eminence Front.

These are things I usually miss at shows themselves but pick up while streaming shows, and part of the reason (when the band is playing well and doing a lot of improv) I enjoy listening and watching from my couch.

This show, 10 years ago today, was so much damn fun! I’m so very happy that UM has finally left that f’n venue in the past, but there’s no denying some of the legendary nights at the Eagles/Rave. This was a great way to end that era, and move on to the better, greener pasture that is the Riverside.

[OSUmBeaverPhreak]

RIP Dan! My buddy died ten years ago yesterday and the band dedicated Ain’t No Fun to him that show. We sent a recording of the UMLive to his parents after this happened. I hope they found some peace in it. Thanks for posting the show - I was living in Austin in the time and didn’t make it but I was grateful the band honored my friend that night. Class acts.

That Haunt…
