"One of the best HBB’s ever played. 2008 was the high water mark and this show is where you can see that water break. "

"This wasnt the best night of the new years run, but still a great show. I get by with a little help from my friends was kickass. Everything was kickass that night, but espically that. Me and my buddy had to leave in the middle of Wife Soup to catch the train home. It was really lame, but it was even worse when I got on the computer the next day to see that I missed DIVISIONS!! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!! Umphrey's, please play Wife Soup and Divisions at Summercamp this year. It would make me sooooooo happy"

"Simply put, MUST DOWNLOAD. This show was amazing it cannot be said enough how great it was. HBB, WWS, D>H>D just go buy this it was the best show of the run and probably the best umphreys show ive ever seen. they said they would have a few tricks up there sleeves and they pulled out some first time covers and the chicago mass quire was perfect. After you buy this must buy, go ahead and preorder mantis for all of us. Happy New Years Umphrey's McGee and THANK YOUUU"
