Umphrey's McGee- Mulches Odyssey + Lasers

[CosmicCubensis]

Gotta say, I'm not the biggest Umphrey fan but this song may be the one that helps turn me into one.

[salkina]

lazers = stolen

[jo3jar]

I was tripping my balls off at this!!

[mizzprez1]

WOW, my goosebumps just got goosebumbs. That was fucking EPIC.

[Sincoola27]

it is sick.....fucking sick

[RICKY69SC]

13 people cant play an instrument

[carlton322]

This is why music is such a big part of my life. Songs like this make the world go round.



[bballgirl581]

Fucking epic!

Can't wait to get down at their show at the Fillmore ! Oh em geeeeee! Funk yes

[mdrinis1]

@kisventak seeing them live is a must.. getchyo ass to a show!

[kisventak]

I would love to see this band live :)

[Rthrasher12]

@kisventak get up and do it!! so worth it!

[umpFREEZEMcGee]

best song ever to melt to



[dspin23]

id say UM is more comparable to phish than phish is to the dead. phish is still a more fun band those lyrically and live

[Calebmfh]

You know my good friend Maddy Stone has an album coming out called Fallout it will be available on iTunes but he was actually with Umphrey's McGee before they hit off, his real name is Matt Oleksak. Go SOUTH BEND INDIANA!

[tardisnation]

This is one awesome jam.

[TheArchiveOfWonder]

My favorite thing about this song is that Stasik always gets to choose where the jam goes to start,

[TheArchiveOfWonder]

Nice sound quality!

[daveflavadave1]

People who address talented artists like phish and disco biscuits as "better than" or "best" just depreciate the cause of the music: for people to enjoy it. It's for opinionated, close minded, ignorant idiots that can't appreciate it because their way of life and piece of mind has to be better than everyone else's. Now that's not a true fan is it? Stop arguing and enjoy it like someone who actually has a mind.

[DeadHead1268]

Stasik has the most boss hawk going on here

[gerrysmomma]

No vocalist

[MichaelEagerStevens]

I'm not trying to be that guy that guy who promotes his band and they are actually terrible or it's spam, but if you would like, go search Eager Stevens. We do a cover of Umphrey's and a song of our own. We appreciate all views and feedback :)

[krackisgood]

RAGE.

[0kissMYbASS]

They keep getting better and better.

[TheShowgunAssassin]

UM is total face melt in a can.

[glpstrat]

that guitar is a whore i bet jake puts her away dirty and wet after a beating like that

[russman6543]

@glpstrat You shut your damn mouth. Jake Cinninger looks that guitar in the eye while he makes love to it. Then he calls it the next day just to see what's up.

[GrainBeltBeer]

@recreationalChem2 I don't know how serious anyone can take your comment when you are:

a.) Wrong, Umphrey's is only getting better; check out the '11 Summer Camp brah. Very recent and very good.

b.) Can't spell Cinninger correctly.

[migbee]

@recreationalChem2 Oh, boo fucking hoo, why don't you start a god damn band if you know so much about music? People like you who constantly bitch about how much their favorite band sucks now, yet continue to search their videos just to troll fans... what's your, like, prerogative, brah?

[migbee]

@recreationalChem2 I'm not a teenager, but I did have my "phaze" if you will.. Never even tried to compare Phish to the Dead, they are wildly different in so many ways, and that comparison has always kind of baffled me beyond the lyricists and jamming...

[MarqLouieIVI]

Prog? Chord Progression?

[ColeBlouin]

@MarqLouieIVI that would be Progressive Rock. Look it up, it's a really interesting style of music.

MWAHAHAHA I'VE CONVERTED ANOTHER ONE!

[MiSiLeNtKiLLa]

@ColeBlouin I love converting people, ive made a small Umphreys cult where im from, haha

Halloween in ATL with UM this year!!! cant wait

[ColeBlouin]

@MiSiLeNtKiLLa That's awesome, I've done pretty much the same thing with Phish (I'm just starting to get into Umphrey's... I'm really impressed, though.)

[theguyIShere24]

@MiSiLeNtKiLLa Just bought my tix man! Umphrey's at the Tabby, it's ON!

[davocorrie]

@MiSiLeNtKiLLa i bet you guys had a blast!

[MarqLouieIVI]

@ColeBlouin its good music what chords did you use?

[ColeBlouin]

@MarqLouieIVI I have no idea what you mean, sorry. Do you mean in my music on my channel? Because that really depends on the song. In this video, I have absolutely no idea.

[heretotrollyou]

lol at you guys just finding this, i was watching UM and MOE. share a stage live 10 years ago :)

STEP YOUR MUSICAL GAME UP

[DavidKennedy5250]

@heretotrollyou Just wanted to make sure everyone knew that about you huh?

[heretotrollyou]

@DavidKennedy5250

no, i just wanted to make sure everyone knew that about me.

but if you are watching this video, and listening to this music, and reading this comment, then you are miles ahead of most.

[burnnout]

tom plays really well

[SpaceKace13]

stoked for ALL GOOD!

[RogueLeader1337abxy]

THIS IS AWESOME! first time hearing these guys.... it's like the grateful dead turned somewhat metal

[stuartlytle]

@RogueLeader1337abxy they're more like umphreys mcgee turned umprheys mcgee

[goindownthe1road]

wow....amazing. looking fwd to seeing them in C'bus june 26th

[seriousfuno]

@goindownthe1road That already passed.

[dankane90]

randomly clicked on this vid. i was at this show!! loved it.

[APcaveman]

These guys remind me of Ozric tentacles except with vocals.

[Carrrrr1217]

I just wanted all Umphreys McGee fans to know that Umphreys McGee will soon be visiting Long Island, on the waterfront at Shorefront Park in Patchogue.

They are performing July 16th 2011 along with over 35 other performers that weekend. Definitely check it out, there’s more information on the Great South Bay Music Festival website!!!

[gogowackston]

8 people dont have ears.

[iam3dski]

@lauruzas don't be such a pussy

[lauruzas]

@iam3dski not being a pussy I'm just saying, all of these people are talented musicians and I wish people at least admitted that than had stupid little arguments over who's better which leads to less people knowing about the scene and less people being able to enjoy all the music that we get to enjoy on the daily :)

[lauruzas]

everyone needs to stop arguing, if youre into jam bands then don't hate the sound. the disco biscuits play with the people from lotus, lotus plays with umphrey's the all know and respect each other. with how much talent these musicians posess as people who can see that, it is up to us to spread the joy and meaning behind these songs... honestly wouldn't you rather they played more of this than lady gaga and kesha and whoever else is the flavor of the moment?

[yooat]

@lauruzas

a good majority of people would but not mainstream

[goikeca]

@cubbietrueblue Ok first of all, what a faggot ass name. Second of all, Umphreys is an awesome fusion band you don't have a fucking what you're talking about. These guys have more talent in one finger than you'll ever have in your whole body. I'd like to see you play guitar like that. GO FUCK YOURSELF ASS HOLE

[thedizzit]

[crazybone311]

I was here. it was awesome.

[crazybone311]

I was here. it was aweome.

[cubbietrueblue]

I've heard a lot of people mention these guys so I had to listen and see what all the hype is about. Honestly, I don't understand AT ALL. As a man, I can tell you that this may be the gayest music I've ever heard and I wish I would have never attempted to listen. Very, very, very, very gay....no man should EVER admit to listening to this!

[bdubs360]

@cubbietrueblue Thats funny because as a man and a musician I can tell you that nobody cares about your opinion

[cubbietrueblue]

@bdubs360 You obviously do.

[crazy8rgood]

@cubbietrueblue Unless, you know, they don't care what other people think of the music they listen to, and just listen to it because they think it sounds good? Or is that too hard of a concept for you to grasp?

[razberyjamdeltaV]

@cubbietrueblue

I'm not gay but I'd probably go down on Umphrey's McGee.

[MrBasilGanglia]

@cubbietrueblue Too bad for you. These guys are a very good band.

[lambgtr7]

@cubbietrueblue well you just have bad taste... im sure justin beiber is more youre style fagget

[cubbietrueblue]

@lambgtr7 Ha! You listen to homo-erotic music and you call me fagget? Ok tough guy! Is that your only defense? If someone doesn't like homo-erotic music you tell em they like Bieber? Weak sauce for an internet tough guy!

[lambgtr7]

@cubbietrueblue why are you even watching this video then pussy. if this is homo erotic music then fuck it i like homo erotic music. go rip on actually bad music fuckin tool then do the world a favor and put a smuckers jar up ur ass then hang yourself. PEACe bitch. suck my knob

[cubbietrueblue]

@lambgtr7 PEACe bitch? suck my knob?  I'm gonna guess you're 12.

[lambgtr7]

@cubbietrueblue yup and thats even more embarrasing for you cause i just made you my bitch..

[cubbietrueblue]

@mortalcity But I have something you don't and that is English and spelling skills! But that's ok.....I do know that the friends I have would never play this shit out loud and not be able to have other convince them that they aren't gay. Just sayin'.........but looks like I touched a nerve.

[mortalcity]

@cubbietrueblue sorry, my brother got on my youtube. i removed the comment.

[mortalcity]

@cubbietrueblue 

[njmudpuppy]

@cubbietrueblue maybe Boy George and Culture club would be more to your liking???You don't have to enjoy the music but if you cant recognize true talent maybe you should get yourself some Kidz-Bop cds and jam out shitpickle....

[MetallicaBLS]

@cubbietrueblue Freud postulated that the desires of the unconscious mind manifest themselves in the outward speech and manor. Thereby, in layman's terms, your labeling of this music as gay, which as music does not have any indication of sexual orientation, is actually a labeling of yourself as a gigantic faggot.

[cubbietrueblue]

@MetallicaBLS Music doesn't have indication of sexual orientation? Tell that to Cher's fanbase! Man , I really touched a nerve with this crowd. Do you openly tell your friends how much you love these guys? If you do I guarantee they all question your sexuality. For a guy with "MetallicaBLS" as a screen name, I'm guessing that that's also Black Label Society. You seem like you enjoy music with balls but I guess it's a cover up so you can be internet tough guy.

[GreenDayInsomniac223]

Okay, Biscuits definetly have speed, energy and soling down pretty well, but they lack the connection of musicianship UM has. Sure, Biscuits can rock out a good jam, but UM has the harmonic mastery and complexity that blows Biscuits out of the water. Plus, UM, each musican is connected, they shar a sense of the music that Biscuits could only dream of having.

[sugapablo]

How many can pull off THAT!?!?  :)

[maneakararehe]

@bigdog19797 don't forget the funk@!

[jayl1377]

dude the biscuits put these guys to shame...its not even comparable

[bbbicf]

@jayl1377 lol thats like saying sara palins funnier to listen to than mr bush... NOBODY CARES WE JUST LOVE TO LISTEN TO THEM... and laugh

[danjmcl]

Biscuits have no sense of advanced harmony like these dudes have nor the chops to keep up with them. Every time barber sits in with UM he sucks because hes a shitty musician

[Tate850]

RAGE!!!!!

[Insanatey]

If you dont look too hard...the bass player looks like Kramer

[blueLAangel]

Nothing gets me more revived in the morning then UM, I Luv every day rockin out to UM.

[000MidnightSun]

this is surprisingly metal for a hippy jam band

[bigdog19797]

@000MidnightSun well see, they arnt hippy..... they are more of prog rock than a jam band too...... but they are everything... if you go to one of their concerts and listen to what they play then you will hear metal, country, some hip hop from joel

[PrivateIrishmayne]

@000MidnightSun hippy???

[toadynasty]

@tribefannumber1 lol.....classic biscuits fan. brain too damaged from drugs to appreciate real music

[UnkleSampson]

this was my first concert ever, i fell in love with both umphreys and lasers.

[UnkleSampson]

[smith203]

jake brake

[jteshuwah]

cool! looks like somebody brought back prog! tight, fantastic, and totally cerebral! AWESOME! it's like listening to Genesis and Yes all over again! it also clearly reminds of the Transiberian Orchestra! (don't laugh those guys are really good!)

[yogabbagabba1210]

@jteshuwah I wish I could like this twice.

[musicprodigy19]

I just had three seizures watching this...

[talkofthetown69]

gotta like prog, anyone here ever heard of liquid tension experiment?

[Gwiffleez]

@talkofthetown69 check out their 'parent band,' dream theater

[Jagethemage]

@talkofthetown69 Cymatics mate.. try cymatics :)

[moznoz]

Checking these guys out tonight! I can't wait!

[kylekillsit]

my first show! 33 later and i'm still gettin wild at these shows.

[sYnerGyZniGmA]

take away the lasers and how good would this be ?

[sYnerGyZniGmA]

@sYnerGyZniGmA and im real new to U.M. I am likin' em so far . they're playin here next month . i'm goin . any song that talks about the grease on your face and getting shit together is cool .

[HeadyTunes]

Its like Tool and Phish had a baby together..... what an intense mess of musical goodness :)

[claywood313]

@HeadyTunes

Nope Tool concerts are better.

[surround81]

@HeadyTunes Sounds more like Pink Floyd and King Crimson had a baby.

[jteshuwah]

@surround81 that's IT exactly. well put!

[TheOriginalInchin]

@standad445 Damn troll.

[michaelmcqueen]

@standad445 kanye likes fishstix

[stempy1717]

@standad445 whats a 'real nigga' doin with a youtube account? got a sweet ass facebook page too?

[PearlMasterStudio713]

For all the haters, you really can't judge a band from a suspect quality vid on youtube. See these guys live and you'll get it. The tickets are mad cheap usually. You just have to be patient when listening to these guys. Everything they play constantly moves, whether its building up or breaking down a song. Its very much worth it.

[am299704]

So much of this song reminds me of "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd. Anyone else feel it?

[CKnoxW]

I'd could go see them just for the lights. Holy crap

[TheElectricReligion]

Idk.

I just saw Umphrey's at Gathering of the Vibes and they were AMAZING live.

I definitely feel like they have more in common with the likes of 70s prog rock bands than that of the Greatful Dead or Phish. While there are huge improvisational elements to them, for me they evoke shades of early Genesis and Yes in co-operation with Iron Maiden and the prowess of Parliment Funkadelic with some of the vocal elements of DMB. They really cover a HUGE spectrum

[DX4LIFFE]

@TheElectricReligion At some points they sound a lot like Dream Theater IMO

[erinmhughes]

@TheElectricReligion - Agreed! Just when I completely tired of the jam scene for its degradation into "who can rip Jerry's leads the best" I hear Umphrey's live. Some heavy, honest shit that can evoke several emotions from the darkest to the lightest in a single song (a lot like old prog, fusion and Volta). They didn't help me get back into the scene as much as they gave me a new band to obsess over that crosses genres and is truly timeless. So much individual talent here too!

[dressedtosmellgood]

@erinmhughes sorry for the shameless promotion, but you should check out my band Malicious Discharge. we aim to be everything at once

[tonydaynes27]

@TheElectricReligion

that set rocked me so hard I felt like I was just born when it ended

[jbonhamII]

@TheElectricReligion well said Space God

[Ratabulous]

...and I'm spent.

[tdogcook17]

these guys def sound sick i havent been able to see them yeat an im pissd about that.....it is def real jam band music not even electronic, sure they can use it when they want but this rite here is jus pure jammage to the facial an ears

[blackpfan420]

this has become my fav song since i saw it live!!! epic shit on the rocks!! thanks for an amazing 3rd & 4th of july!

[Worden26]

UM is definately no phish or grateful dead... but holy fuck they can really jam

[Apradavra]

umphreys mcgee are a bunch of buttknockers. 

[drjones198111]

This is by far one of the best of the newer jam bands . If you like these guys you probably aren't going to be a dead head ... Or even phishy .... Disco biscuits , lotus r more there style ... I love these guys and all the other bands ,There a jam band for sure. Just not grassie like the cheese or leftover salmon... So many dirrerent styles within the genre ....

[blackpfan420]

@drjones198111 i love disco biscuits and lotus. but these guys blew them all out the water when i saw them.

[3cho613]

@drjones198111 I'm a Dead Head and I've been gone Phishing for years and I love these guys. And they do have a few "grassy" songs. Heard 'End of the Road'? or "memories of home', 'Bullhead City', or 'home'? They just don't play em live that often.

[fashioncorpse]

They destroyed this song at red rocks last night.

[mutineer350]

@willcallbill

Being a jam band is about playing for extended periods of time and doing whatever ya feel, and these guys are doing just that. so even if they aren't your favorite theyre still a jam band

[SPIT5FIYA]

SEE YAH AT ALL GOOOOOOD

[gravytrain45]

@SPIT5FIYA

saaame

[willcallbill]

What the hell is this? My buddy keeps talking about these guys like they're a jam band or something. This is just garbage. It's the most sickening shit I've ever heard. Where's the jams? I've heard electronic music with more soul than this.

[blackpfan420]

@willcallbill ummmm you are a fucking darsh!!!! RED ROCKS & BLUE!!!!

[81interweb]

@willcallbill your a dumbass. these guys are the best jam band out there and thats why you dont know they are jamming. they have a language of over 50 signals that communicate what to jam to. if jake takes a half step back it means raise the chord half step up. if he gives a sideways thumbs up it means go to the 4 chord. this is shit you dont understand and stuff that the grateful dead never mastered. these guys are musical geniuses

[leroimoore41]

@81interweb they are awesome but id much rather listen to phish jam

[wifesoup410]

@81interweb I ment to thumbs up this post but clicked the wrong one. I love seeing that stuff when watching them live. Some people don't even realize whats going on right in front of their eyes.

[MrStoneyhomey]

@willcallbill No i think ur on to something bill what the fuck is this shit this isnt music u wanna hear some GOOD music look up allman brothers or some dead this shit sucks

[dkrasney]

@MrStoneyhomey not music? what do you call it when you create sounds waves with instruments. i mean sure there is electronica in there - but it is DEF. creative / artistic musical creation. if u think not ur crazy ... also there are DEF. Dead influences here big time. u people are so caught up in mainstream GD - look up some of their original psychadelic sets.

[3cho613]

@MrStoneyhomey Dude, The Dead and Allman Bros rock, but you can't say this band sucks. You obviously don't know wtf you're talking about.Did you even bother listening to a few of their songs all the way through?The Dead, Allman Bros were about creativity and exploring musically for new jams and these guys are one of the best I've ever heard at improvisation.These guys have the same kind of cohesion that Jerry and Phil and Bobby had. Try out someof their albums if the live stuff is 2 heavy 4 u.

[4hockey2is0cool]

@MrStoneyhomey i think you should just go fuck yourself cause this shit rocks theres so many movements i bet the alman brothers and dead would respect the shit out of this and scold you for being such a dick on their behalf

[phildirt3]

@4hockey2is0cool really musical taste is subjective but using foul language toward someones opinion just dismisses your opinion completely

[KennyOlson]

yEAAAAA

[DefChains34]

Great Song!UMMMM all the way home!

[Bravetoe]

Umphrey's McGee, the true definition of underrated.

[mizzousam]

if you've been to their shows you dont underrate them--you hail them.
