Excerpt from the live concert Blu-ray shot on 09/14/12, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO. Full show available on Blu-ray, DVD or digital download: bit.ly/umrocks12 Filmed & edited by TourGigs.
Been following Umphreys since 2011 they are the best. Drove from calif. To Colorado to lick it in the hot tubs in Glenwood springs then drove through a blizzard to Chicago and did all four nights on New year's. 2017-2018 all I can say is they leave the best memories in my mind. One of many new years. Not going to miss them again like this year
I agree, but their not the kings of improvising.. Widespread panic would take that on no doubt. Umphreys is like a new Phish but not quite as good. But don't get me wrong, Umphreys kills it no question.
Dalton Vradenburg panic is good, but every jam seems to go to the exact same place, herring shredding a peak. these other bands have way more diversity in their jams
Dalton Vradenburg DON'T YOU EVER!! Phish Sucks Balls!! No Comparison....not to mention they cant sing for shit unless they're the kings of being tone deaf.
Dalton Vradenburg UM and Phish dont compare. They sound nothing alike, and Phish is a bunch of talent-less hacks who get WAY too much credit. Their music is so boring I literally fell asleep at one of their shows. Umphreys is the complete opposite of Phish.
I've never listen to 9/4/12 and I turned this video on at work thinking it would provide some pleasant background music while I do payroll….11 mins in and now I'm just glued to my screen, headphones blasting, violently head bobbing, not doing payroll. This is some seriously relentless \um/
I love that to this day, there are still people that take the time to post their thoughts on how much the hate a band. I don't like broccoli but you won't find me whining about it on the internet. Oh wait, I just did.
sullytyme1972 As far as I can tell (and i'm not going to dig too deep into them) most of the negative comments on here are "I felt compelled to give this band another chance and it still isn't doing it for me" In a world where there is an infinite amount of art you can consume at any point, it should be pretty heartwarming that there are still people out there willing to give a band multiple chances to see if it clicks for them. I mean, I could have spent the last 20 minutes listening to any of the tens of thousands of obscure records clogging my external hard drive, maybe I'd find yet another band mixing complex composition and improvisation in a way that jamband kids would adore. Instead I decided to see if I was feeling Umphreys enough to see them yet again. I'm not.
i traveled through the mountains from virginia to illinois to see these guys in torrential downpour. i left with no money in my pocket, but memories to last a lifetime. umph rules
I was a DD for these guys a couple weeks back, and I was blown away. My first response was they seemed like a mix of The Grateful Dead and Iron Maiden (AND THEN SOME). They do every song they cover justice, and just jam like no other band I've ever seen or heard. So glad I discovered these guys
This was such a sick show! R.i.p. Andy from Railroad Earth (love Amen Corner) your band was an amazing opening for Umphrey's. You guys killed it that Kashmir ending is still etched in my mind. I was with my best friend and new friends to witness such a sick performance! We traveled 1k miles out of the way for this it was so fucking worth! Thank you!!
Umph rocks live. They rock in my car. They rocked at Stubbs bar. I think that there aren't too many bands that jump from genre to genre like Umph while simultaneously rocking your pants off. Avid fans who have heard their stretch of sounds across all releases know full well what I'm referring to. if this song doesn't grab you, fine. but check out an album or two and you'll h'ears what i'm saying.
But the albums really don't give a very good insight into how incredibly mind blowing these guys are live! I personally love the Ocean Billy from Charlotesville, VA, 9/23/11, though this is pretty sweet as well!
but it helps to know the core songs so when you go you can rock out that much more. Theres something special about knowing every note to this song and hearing it live.
Every time UM comes to NYC, i always go and see them. Cuz they're Genius! Their Tunes just grabs every music lovers of all genre, and get hooked to it...i just love the "Mashed ups"...HAPPY rOCKIN' dUDES!!!
I won a Golden Ticket at scamp in 2012. Got to make a playlist to play in between sets... I chose this show to do it. My favorite Umph show of all time and one of the best weekends of my life!! This shit STILL destroys
Been an Umphrey's fan since I was 14 they had just released Anchor drops albulm picked it up at my local record shop. My pop took me in 2006 to see them for the 1st time . Was my daughter's 2nd concert at 3yo in 2018 she saw moe. at 2 years old
You just gotta see them live. I saw them on New Years at the Tabernacle and it was the best show I've ever been to! My mind was blown! This video is only a small percentage of what these guys are capable of
Jake Cinninger is one of the baddest guitar players on the planet if not the best. The man can do it all. The whole band is epic musicians. Jake steps forward and they go up a key when jamming I read somewhere. Steps back and he goes down a key. Creativity is pretty much unmatched.
Being high enhances an experience, it doesn't ruin it. All the people hating on being high at a concert have obviously never been high at a concert before lol
OMG! I'm so proud of you Jake Cinninger! Look me up on FB man... 20 Years later, you are my fave guitarist, of all, milliniums above before, bvut we all knew you were headed there... Still, your "one note" kills me, with every single nuance... That's why I picked you man... 20 something years ago... Now you are 20 something years even "BETTER"... Wow! Every note is so amazing.... I want to see you man. Play the guitar to me.... You are the absolute best, and most soothing guitarist, to an old , authentic, true musicians soul.
Me too dude. Saw them at the McDowell Music Festival...Face fu%$in' melted!!! Just absolutely SICK!!!! One of the best shows I've EVER seen. I can't believe I'd never discovered this band before. So frickin' talented, fun, and yeah, mind blowing. Can't wait till the next time.
Yea this dvd is pretty good ...i love these guys.. been listening to them since 2003 saw them for the first time bonnaroo 2004 ....it's like heroin ..been hooked ever since lol
I heard you guys on jam radio on sirius and had no idea you had come this far since I saw you back in the Bend. I am definitely going to a show when you come to the southeast!!!!
mrkremko1 its hard to understand the pure beauty of their beats, but trust me, this band knows how to put on a show, they are the best band ive seen live and ive seen deftones twice lmao these people are just amazing
