Today in Umphrey's McGee History

That Red Tape is an all-timer. On the short list of my favorite UM performances.

20 years since my 2nd UM show. Co-headlined with moe. at “westport outdoors” which was nothing more than a stage set up in a parking lot outside the former Beaumont Club (RIP) which is now a pretty solid BBQ joint (Char Bar.)

All Things Umphreys - Umphrey's McGee - 2006-06-02 Westport Outdoors Kansas...

Was my first moe. show and had a split squad encore. They kept going into Wind It Up which was awesome.
