Great band. Seen them at two festivals (technically 6 shows) and they brought the heat each time. Still don't know the majority of their songs only because so many are instrumental and they just straight up jam most of the time. Sick covers though. FInally kinda random but some of the best merch designers in music IMO.

Too composed and inorganic IMO. I can't get into it....it is almost, to perfect. no flubs or taking chances at all which causes there to never be those epic special moments. just fun and good shows.

I wouldn't call myself a huge Umphrey's fan, but I think they're an incredible band. I listened to the 30th & 31st from this year and was seriously impressed.

They take a lot of chances. Their jamming style is very different and very unique. They signal changes using body language and hand gestures. They go type II all the time but where most bands will have one theme working during a jam or wander from theme to theme, UM will have three or four themes going and use signals to bounce between them. It does sound composed at times which IMO makes it all the more special. It is really amazing what they do.
I do understand it isn't for everybody, but don't sell yourself short and brush these guys off. They are one of the best live acts to grace the stage.

So will the Providence show sell out? Would it be wise to purchase tickets beforehand and pay the stupid service fees? The show in Boston over the summer was pretty sparse(although it was a much bigger outdoor venue).

Awesome band with endless creativity and fresh jams. No need to compare them to the Phish, because they aren't going for the same type of thing musically. Just like with Phish and the Dead, I love to love both for similar and different reasons. They're extremely focused and I haven't heard a bad note in all my hours of listening/seeing them live.
Of course I can't wait for 2013 Phish but I'm also really pumped to be hitting the UM shows in Winston-Salem (1/23), Charlotte (1/24) and Raleigh (1/25), all a relatively short drive from my school.

Never seen them. I've heard a little live stuff and haven't been blown away, but thought some it it was pretty good. I'm seeing them this Saturday in Providence. I forget the venue, but tixs are $25 and it's a super small ballroom. 300 or so capcity. I'm pretty excited.
Hoping to get Lotus in on the 25th (my bday) and Trey the 26th in Albany. Could be a fun week stretch of music if all goes well.

Can't say I'm a fan. The music they're releasing these days is much too poppy & simplistic for my likingIf you're still looking at this thread I want to hear your follow up on that. I am a big um fan and mostly disagree with that statement, so I am just curious about what you think is poppy and simplistic (I am especially curious about simplistic). Given that you are an experienced um-goer I am intrigued
Also, maybe one day you will find yourself back there!

UM took me by surprise at the Milwaukee shows at the end of October. I'll be seeing them 2-4 times next month and am really excited for this band's future. The jamming is unreal... Glad there is something for when Phish kicks the bucket.
