Umphrey’s McGee made their debut at the Wings Event Center in Kalamazoo, MI last night with a show that included another appearance from Joshua Redman as well as some of the band’s more rarer tunes and covers.

To start, the band took a moment following “Divisions” to present Libby Ballengee with the trophy to the Sirius XM JamON Fantasy Football League. Bassist Ryan Stasik presented Ballengee with the trophy following the tune.

After “Loose Ends,” the band brought Redman out for a pair of tunes he’s sat in on before in “Believe the Lie” and “Bad Friday” before the heavy set closer in “Wizard Burial Ground.”

For the second set, Redman once again joined the band for the opening segment of “Der Bluten Kat” that included a foray into the Raw Stewage cut “Amble On.” Redman finally added sax to The Police cover “When the World is Running Down You Make the Best Of What’s Still Around” before exiting. The set closed with a rare take on “Gravity’s Real” between “All in Time.” The song hadn’t been performed since it’s debut at UMBowl in 2013. “Gravity’s Real” came from a pair of jams from the band’s 2012 Red Rocks show, including “All in Time” and “Puppet String.”

The encore encompassed a heavy “Puppet String” before Jake Cinninger paid homage to another Michigan man, Bob Seger, with a closing take on “Hollywood Nights.”

Umphrey’s continues their run February 3 in New Haven, CT.
