Umphrey’s McGee’s first ever January 1 show picked up where the noteworthy New Year’s show left off, with the band digging deep into their catalog to offer up never-before-played tunes and old covers. To start, the band debuted “Hindsight,” the last tune from Similar Skin to appear on stage. The metal-infused tune woke up an otherwise sleepy crowd, with most nursing a New Year’s Eve hangover.

In that vein, the band appropriately jumped into “Hangover” as Brendan Bayliss asked the crowd how they were feeling. “An appropriate song,” guitarist Jake Cinninger said as the band launched into the song.

Later in the set, the band surprised with a brief snippet of Led Zeppelin’s “The Ocean” in “Utopian Fir,” however no lyrics were included in the tease. “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” featured another speech from Brendan Bayliss, as he has in past versions. The closing “Resolution” resolved the end of “1348” from the previous night.

Among the highlights in set two include an expansive “Tribute to the Spinal Shaft” that included several major “Bridgeless” teases. The following “Sociable Jimmy” featured Jake Cinninger hopping on keys with Joel Cummins as the two teamed up to add to yet another extended jam. Bob Marley’s “Lively Up Yourself” made its first appearance since 2003, marking its first play in 1,411 shows. If that wasn’t noteworthy enough, the band debuted “Full Frontal,” an unreleased track included in the band’s Hall of Fame 2013 package. The instrumental track bled perfectly into “Phil’s Farm” which preceded a “The Floor” closer.

The encore took on a life of its own as the band revisited their earlier Led Zeppelin tease with the band’s “Immigrant Song” to kick off the proceedings. “JaJunk” followed and during the jam the band delved into Michael Jackson’s catalog, alternating between “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” teases and “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” quotes. Ultimately, the return to “JaJunk” brought the show to a close.
