Umphrey's McGee

"FLEW IN FROM SEATTLE FOR THIS SHOW, HAD A COUPLE OF NEWBIES COME WITH ME BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE FUSS WAS ABOUT (DUE TO THE WRITE UP IN THE STATESMAN). I THINK IT WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR THEM. THEY DIDN'T KNOW BANDS COULD ABSOLUTELY ROCK LIKE UMPHREY'S DOES. VENUE WAS SWEET. I WONDER WHAT THE BARTENDERS THOUGHT CAUSE THEY HAVE A GREAT VIEW OF ALL THE SHOWS AND THEY HAVE DEFINITELY NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT JUDGING BY THE "UPCOMING SHOWS" POSTER THEY HAD?! I GOT THE FEELING THE BAND WAS LIKE, "WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING IN BOISE?" VIBE. THEY PUT ON A GREAT SHOW AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE A SLEEPER FOR THE FANS OUT THERE. THE SECOND SET GOT INTENSE...TOO BAD I HATE BOISE! "
