"Awesome show, best I've seen yet. I hope next year is just as good or better. I suggest everyone adds this to their live music collection."

"I've been to a lot of shows since NYE Chi-town and have yet to see one that compairs. I think someone said it earlier but yeah seeing Umphreys after this show just isnt the same... Still awesome but the atmosphere that night was something that only happens once in a while. I suggest everyone that missed last years go to NYE 08, although its not going to be at the Aragon it should still be sick...."

"Dear moeron, Um is sick! The NYE run =energy, creativity, and intensity. Check out summercamp if you want the best of both. Get late night tix early b/c they sell out. Moe and Um has 'tag-teamed' or 'split-set' the show for the night-trading off songs and covers. Lot's of fun, plus the day shows are fueled with energy!!!! You won't be dissapointed, I promise!!!!!!!!!!"

"Wow; Ms. Tinkle is one funky bitch!! But she's got soul also. Can't wait to see Umphrey's! You guys are right. Moe. and Ump need to tour together. I saw Blayliss sp?, in Albany and he was awesome. Now I know this band is top of the game; 'cause this fricken smokes!!!!!! Love it"

"Ok; I will definitely keep listening. It hasn't been that long. Right now, I can tell you these guys are extremely talented and have already "made it", so to speak. With the proper concoction, this must have been a blast!!!! Chi-town rocked on NYE; NYC was lite-up also!!! peace out brothers; see you somewhere. buy me a beer"

"Ok all you Umps. I bought the show; i have never seen them live and I have never listened to the best of UM. I am a huge Moe. fan from NY; was initially a phish guy. Let's see what you got Umphry's; a message will follow. Wish me luck. "

"This is the 4th UM show I`ve downloaded and by far the best. These guys were on fire.....three absolutely awesome sets smoking with energy. It was worth every penny. I can`t wait to see you guys again next time you swing by eastern PA (Penns Peak...please...please). I also agree with the earlier DVD comment. I have the two DVD`s and would LOVE to add this to my collection. Keep rockin !!!"

"it`s all been said already. this is just an unreal show. the FF>stew is fucking technodisco madness. joel was on fire. the resolution...insane. and as has been said, the licks being traded in much obliged was great too. wish i could have been there. i know i`m preaching to the choir here...but this band is far and away the most talented, innovative, fearless, diverse, entertaining, tight, precise and outright nasty thing rolling from city to city these days. they are legends in the making and we are all part of the magic as it`s happening. i have seen some pretty fucking good music in my 35 years...going all the way back to jerry and the boys dozens of time. and i don`t mean to take away from any of the brilliance of any of the amazing shows i`ve seen...but c`mon. these guys are on a DIFFERENT LEVEL. not human. i thank god every day that these six men all found each other...and that they then found all of us. and also that i wasn`t born in iraq."

"Absolutely the best Umphrey`s show I`ve seen yet.. hard to top 2006 Bonnaroo show.... also, I`ve never experienced such an awesome celebration on New Years. Thank you for spending yours with so many of your fans. Wow. Aud ps I would really like to have the DVD!"
JOE UNDERDOWN — 1/9/2008 4:29:18 PM
"IF THERE WAS EVER A SHOW TO BE MADE INTO A FULL LENGTH DVD TO EXPRESS EXACTLY WHAT UMPHREY`S IS ABOUT IT WOULD BE THIS SHOW...HINT HINT GUYS"

"Miss Tinkle`s Overture>ALS>MTO......damn and N2F was rediculous, probably the best Wizard I`ve seen or heard and the stops were definetly fucking pulled....def. the best NYE run have attended or heard check out 12/29 and 12/30 for sure!!"
StillWantMyPackage — 1/7/2008 2:47:21 PM

"Well this show was the best live show i have ever seen. Umphrey`s pulled out all the stops and totaly melted my face. The Nothing Too Fancy encore Was amazing. I hope to see them next NYE and have an even better time because all umphre`s does is get better and better. KEEP ON MELTING THOSE FACES GUYS!!!"

"If by roll with the techno you mean play it much less then yes. They are rock and rollers! This show was mind blowing I enjoyed the first set the most I think, I though A Half Sleep was one of the top 3 of the night. I can`t wait to see where they go from here. Awesome time! Worth the drive and all the crap done to be there. "

"I have seen um atleast 30 times in my short lifetime, and this show was undoubtingly one of the best, next to 10,000 lakes 2007. The feel was there, and the guys were feelin it. Opening up the show with Divisions was definitly a treat, and the house organ on the balcony was out of control. I wasnt that impressed with Rocker pt. 2, but its still amazing compared to anything anyone else is doing right now. I was hoping for Nothing Too Fancy, and i called it for the encore. Um just needs to keep up the new approach, and roll with the techno. "
JOE UNDERDOWN — 1/3/2008 6:00:11 PM
"THERE IS NO MORE NEED TO POST ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS SHOW...IT WAS MIND BLOWING...LIFE CHANGING AND BEST OF ALL IT WAS UMPHREY`S JUST HAVING FUN... THANKS FOR THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE ...(SO FAR)"

"this show was the sickest of the 25 i have seen. I was waiting to hear Nothing too Fancy all weekend which blew my mind. the jimmy stewart with joel on the organ was rediculous. all around amazing show. download this shit immediately"
Steve — 1/2/2008 5:58:23 PM
"The show was sick; they rocked the house out and had some awesome jams. 3rd set was the best by far, Miss tickles overture into all in time= I couldn’t have asked for more. They finished it out in the right way, Not too Fancy."
JOE UNDERDOWN — 1/2/2008 1:41:47 PM
"BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN...STARTING WITH DIVISIONS SOUNDED AWSOME GOT THE MOOD SET...THE JIMMY STEWART HOUSE JAM WAS THE BEST THING ALL NIGHT ALSO W/ JOEL ON THE HOUSE ORGAN (I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT THING STILL WORKED) ENDING W/ NOTHING TO FANCY WAS PERFECT"

"this show is honestly rediculous...I am so jealous. "
Will — 1/2/2008 9:59:36 AM
"This show was a great time! The first and 3rd sets are phenominal!!!"
Touchthelightpole88 — 1/2/2008 9:48:50 AM
"At the end of the show someone turned to me and told me they could never see Umphrey`s again, because they wont compare. I think this could be Umphrey`s best, definitely the peak of my year and an epic way to cap it off. A soulful face melter... "
