Umphrey’s McGee had to fight through inclement weather last night in Indianapolis—a theme at this stop in the past. However, the band soldiered on and delivered a full night of music following a weather delay.
During “Tribute to the Spinal Shaft,” the group stopped and informed the crowd they would need to evacuate the area due to a front that was set to move through. After the weather passed, the band returned to the stage around 9 PM to finish the show. Highlights included a “Kinky Reggae” bustout which hadn’t been played since 4/23/10, or 469 shows. Cosby Sweater’s Nick Gerlach also joined the band to add his saxophone on “40’s Theme.”
Additional performances of note included a lengthy jam segment in “The Linear” and “Conduit,” the latter of which included a snippet of “Yoga Pants,” the instrumental formerly known as “White Pickle.” The encore featured “All in Time” with a take on Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Lenny” in the middle featuring a blistering solo from Brendan Bayliss.
Umphrey’s will take the stage indoors tonight in Charleston, WV with a sold out show at the Culture Center Theater. The show will be webcast for free.
