[atlantaprog] Re: NARAS, Umphree's McGee


Well, it's not as if they gave the audience *that* much in the way of "prog influence"--I mean, one of their two covers was "Black Water", which they did quite well, actually (including the vocals at the end). To be honest, I expected to hear a MUCH more adventurous band than the one I heard- ....... (Unless the second set was radically different from the first, that is. I took up the band's offer; better me than someone who really wanted to be there and had been waiting for weeks.)

Well, uh, actually, their second set WAS quite a bit more adventurous and proggy than their first... very much so. I suspect this is in keeping with the jam-band tradition. I had to leave before the set was over (I left at 1 am! Can't say they didn't give the audience their money's worth).

Interesting side note re. cover toons - UM post every set list from every show they play on their website. yeah, we were "treated" to Black Water (I HATE that song!!!), but other cities were treated to Baba O'Riellly, Kashmir, Burning Down the House, etc.
