Wow, each one of those looks really nice.

I think NY takes the cake though. Mike Dillon, Duo (Acoustic?), Hot Buttered Rum String Band, Particle, ZERO!, New Riders…, and my personal favorite… Jake Shimabukuro!

That is a way to celebrate the Earth!

#4

really, i was thinkin that NY got the shaft.

#5

NY did get the shaft this year but maybe it was for a reason, maybe the authorities were like, all you damn dirty apes better go out west

#6

They are gonna announce more acts for NY.

I’m pretty excited for the Chicago shows. Good list I think.

Umphreys is gonna play a show at the VIC theater as well.
It’s much smaller then the venues they have been playing so it should be great.

With the Biscuits in town as well,
hopefully we will get a Brain-damaged Eggman show!

What a fantastic Earth Day Weekend!

I had a unbelievable weekend.
The Umphrey’s McGee show on Saturday night was the best Umphrey’s Show I’ve ever seen.
Pure greatness.

I got some pictures from the zoo show on Sunday (What a beautiful day, 80 degrees!), that I’ll post tonight after I get home from work.

I hope you all had as nice weekend as I did.

i dont know why but i saw umphree’s on saturday and sunday too and i just cant get into them, there jams are too… i really dont know, i thought that the biscuits were way better then them even tho that sun started to get hot when they got on.

#9

^You didn’t like the Saturday show?!?

Wow.

I thought that was the best Umphrey’s show I’ve ever seen.
Seriously.

The sunday show was alright, but man, that Saturday show was on fire.
Dr. Feelgood, Band on the Run, The second set with Kang (SCI) & Magner (Bisco) was crazy, Brendon doing the beer bong from the third balcony, I could go on. There is talk of that being one of the best Umphrey’s show in a looooooooong time.

To each their own though. See, I thought that Bisco was meh.
Different strokes.

Should have told me you were going to both shows.
I would have said hi and grabed a beer with ya.

#10

i dont know why but i just cant get lost in their music like i can with other bands. i also really dont like the crowds at umphree’s shows, there were so many of those “WE NEED MORE BEER AND PIZZA AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAHHHH!!!” and “THIS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER!!! I LOVE YOU BRO AAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAHHHH!!!”. alot of good looking girls tho that makes up for it a little.
and yea we should meet up at a show soon let me know and il bring the beer.

#11

I’ve reached a grand conclusion today…

some people love Umphrey’s, and some say “meh”

I still haven’t heard much of them myself.

#12

^ Nice conclusion Sherlock. :wink:
You can say that about any band.

Their show on Saturday was quite good though.

Some people just can’t handle the Rock.
