Umphreys Live Listening Guide - A Community Project

@Bron-yr-Aur , here’s my feedback on your transcription (2019/01/25 - Riverside Theater - Milwaukee, WI). Overall I’d say we’re 90% in agreement, and most of what I bring up is super minor/subjective, so I’m glad that we concur on the majority the big stuff like what’s jam vs vamp and vamp vs the studio. Let me know what you think, especially about the Kitchen “Planned Jam” stuff. Also let me know if I’m completely wrong about something I think is vamp and it’s as per the studio recording because I’ll keep making that mistake.

Night Nurse: I think this is similar to what you were saying about Wappy where there’s enough vamping right up top that it deserves a mention (also I’m going to do this with Wappy going forward). I’ve been labelling the beginning as Original/Vamp, so I’d say that @ 00:34-01:24 then Original as you show; the Jam @ 01:53 ends at 02:25 and is back to Original/Vamp, then Jam again @ 02:57

In The Kitchen: This is one of the few things songs that I classify as having a “Planned Jam”. So I believe it’s that from the beginning until 00:58 where it’s Original for a few bars (until 01:14) where it’s back to Planned Jam until the lyrics start at 01:48.

Young Lust: Vamp 1 is almost completely as per the recording, so I’d keep it as Cover and lose that. Perfect call on the Cover/Jam section with the phone call part of the song.

More subjective stuff, almost all of this is just missing vamps and half vamps that are like 10-20sec long:

All in Time (starting one): Vamp @ 00:26-00:39

Intentions Clear: Vamp 2 – I think this is Original/Vamp because it’s exactly as per the recording except for the last little bit.

All in time (ending one): Original/Vamp @ 00:46 into the full vamp; Vamp @ 02:38-03:05 (bayliss vamp). You could also argue there’s enough vamping going on prior to the classical section that it deserves something too.

Breaker: Vamp @ 00:48-01:08; Vamp @ 02:32-jam (which I don’t think starts until 03:48, or you could have it Vamp/Jam up until there); Vamp @ 07:42 into the jam/vamp, and I’d say it ends as vamp and not original.

Hurt Bird Bath: questionable vamp for like 12sec @ 00:35

Push the Pig: Vamp @ 01:15-35

Glory: I think there’s a good chunk of Original/Vamp (starting @ 00:31) leading into the big vamp which imo starts at 01:39 (a little after your mark) and I’d label it as that full vamp until the end.
