Umphrey's McGee

"i said the show was better than it looks on paper - you respond that is DOES look good on paper (once again, suggestion your opinion is somehow right and mine is wrong). and then you refer to "that epic first set" which was pretty clearly being sarcastic about my comment on new haven. so it really didn`t seem like you were "agreeing" with me but rather trying to provoke. am i somehow misreading what you wrote? seriously. i am asking. or did you misread what i wrote? last thing i want is to keep some infantile dialog going - but what you just wrote seems to contradict what you wrote previously. if i am misreading something - i apologize. frankly would like to drop this whole thing. sorry for all the bad vibes and what not. not my style and certainly not something everyone else needs to be reading on here. take care man. all the best. "

"mr breatheinopen who are you talking to?? I can`t post an opinion, one where I actually agreed with you no less, without you blowin smoke up my ass? Take your own advice, grow up, and breathe in some of that air eh. ; )"

"I didn`t attend the show and I`ve only seen them live on Soundstage, but I`d have to say after downloading last night and listening today, it`s a show I wish I could see even in video instead of just hearing. Kicking myself for not going. Rocks from the very beginning."

"jesus christ man. who can`t let it go now? grow up. "

"they will not be at 10klf, look at their tourdates. the only day during 10klf they are NOT playing a show is the first night, wednesday. Ive been to the northwoods for the last 2 fests, and the main stage is always dark that first night. umphreys played the main stage their last year, so no doubt they would again if back. it`s not happenin"

"I agree with marksy, come to 10KLF again!"

"This show does look good on paper, and probably the best looking one of the NE run besides 2 nights prior and that epic 1st set. Might look into buying this one."

"COME TO 10KLF!"

"i was at this show, so i`m going to have to take into consideration the "i was there" factor - which can often inflate our opinions of shows. true enough, i enjoyed pretty much every song they played that night, but would probably not get too into some of them on a recording. they just put on such a great, high energy show, it`s hard not to get sucked in and love every second. the venue, which i had never been to, was great. very small. probably weren`t 1200 people there - even less maybe. i got there 20 min before show time and was 15 feet from the stage the whole night with room to groove. can`t say that the boys held back though. people were puffin` and nobody seemed to be breakin` balls - so that was nice. a good vibe overall i thought. all that being said, some definite highlights were the HBB opener and pretty much the entire second set from after WW&S. jajunk was nasty as hell. i even liked the encore - i think kimbal is a great little diddy - especially to send you home with a smile on your face. they really stretched it in some of the other jams, and found some grooves that i thought were fairly atypical for some of the songs. i`m being a little vague b/c i need to go back and listen to the show again...i was a little but foggy that night too (wink, wink). i will say that i thought this show was far better than it looks on paper - in my opinion. could be wrong though...just need to give it another listen. will report back with a more lucid, confident review."
