Full Show Saturday: Umphrey's McGee show from last night, including the all improvisation set w/Joshua Redman 

 

Umphrey's McGee rolled into the State Theatre in Portland for a much anticipated show still a man down. Jake Cinninger is still in unable to perform while he suffers from a "Wicked Flue". The band was joined by saxophone prodigy Joshua Redman once again. The second set was scheduled for the improvisation set. 

Spafford continue on its mission of taking over the world one show at a time with an impressive opening set. Catch this band immediately! 

 

  Umphrey's first half was intense considering everyone was anticipating the second set. Joshua Redman sat in on practically the entire first set as well. They opened the eventful show with "2^2" and played an interesting first set. They are a very different band without Jake (obviously), but I enjoy it on many levels. U.M.'s stunning second stanza was a little over an hour of complete improvisation. I just listened to the complete second set and enjoyed it immensely. They would sound like Pink Floyd only for the groove to dissolve before reinventing itself Zappa-esque. The vocal portions of " Jimmy Stewarts" are epic. The show ended with an encore of "Much Obliged" into "Ophelia" by the band. Listen to the show yourself thanks to Jambase and Taper opsopcopolis.

    J-RAD is the first band in my opinion that do not deserve the burden of Greatful Dead tribute band anywhere near their description. In Port Chester, New York at The Capital Theatre last night they added some more tunes that fall under the term"almost". Besides playing a Beatle and Ween song for the first time they had guests join them none more stunning that vocalist Alecia Chakour rendition of "Two Souls in a Communion".  Thanks to Jambase we have full audio and videos from nugs.net

  moe. is always inventive with their Halloween shows. Last night they played the first of a double feature at The Fillmore in Philadelphia. The shows are inspired by the movies of Quentin Tarantino, they did not play a foot fetish jam but did play songs off Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs and more. They mixed movie clips with themes to great ends. Thanks to Jambase here is full audio.
