2010-01-28 Umphrey's McGee - Best Buy Theatre
DOESN'T BAYLISS HAVE A NICE SHIRT!?
Well the night started about 6p.m. where I stood outside in Times Square with my finger in the air looking for my Miracle Ticket! This was my 1st time seeing UM at Best Buy Theatre formally known as Nokia Theatre where the place actually ***SOLD OUT***.
After standing out in the cold for 2 1/2 hours and only managing to find 2 of 3 tickets my friend said just go in. This night goes out to Chris!!! Unfortunately I missed Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, but I walked in to see Umphrey's for my 23rd time while they played Nemo.
Set 1:
Nemo, Wappy Sprayberry > Wellwishers, 2x2, Nothing Too Fancy > Bittersweet Haj, Rocker (part II)
Set 2:
Miss Tinkle's Overture, Plunger > Glory > #Plunger, Mantis Ghetts, Roundabout, In the Kitchen > Nothing Too Fancy, The Floor
Encore: Bridgeless
# with Roundabout tease
I called that UM would save 'Wellwishers' for New York City it was pretty sick! After hearing UM tease 'Roundabout' many times which they did but they also finally played it! YES!!!!
'Bittersweet Hajimemashite' was such a sweet mash up using Bittersweet Symphony!!
Starting set 2 with Miss Tink' and then Plunger was amazing. Those were the 1st two Umphrey's songs I was introduced to by a friend who has passed on.
This show goes out to D.K. We are always thinking about you brother!
Secret UM show at the Brooklyn Bowl!!! 2010-01-31!!! BE THERE!!!
