  • this dude cant sing for shit

  • @iwishuwereuhguinness Jesus, there music isn't all about singing. If you wanna hear music that is focused on the person's voice, go listen to Ricky Martin or something

  • Who the hell can dislike this? WTF?

  • seen them at penspeak they were "WHAT WORDS CANOT EXPLEAIN!"

  • Greatist Show ever.... The VIC..... one of the best nights of my life untill we walked out and didnt realize there was no re-entry.... some bull shit

  • @reay1222 yeah, I woulda been pissed too

  • Umph tonight!! Yay! See y'all @ the Bird!

  • I've never heard of this band before, but I'm pretty intruiged. Any ideas on where to start listening to their best stuff?

  • @kleydj13 Get the album Anchor Drops, you'll thanks me later.

  • @bdailey016 What a great album it is!

  • @kleydj13 Just type in the name umphreys mcgee and enjoy everything you can get your hands on. Live is their specialty, but they also have some very awesome studio albums (Safety in Numbers, Anchor Drops, Mantis, Death By Stereo (new)). Enjoy.

  • @kleydj13 they have a live one, dual disc, Live At the Murat, flippin AWESOME!!!

  • Anonymity provides those will little to say an opportunity to rant aimlessly about nothing worth a response.

  • Umphrey's > Phish. But that's just like my opinion, man.

  • @mightyolav Yaaaaa, man

  • \____/

  • I do love me some Umphrey's... but has anyone heard tracks off Death by Stereo? Honestly, I am not impressed. It's like homeys were trying to write a hit... it's not them.

  • @GrandaddyPhunk Death By Stereo doesn't come out until next week...

  • @GrandaddyPhunk Have you listened to the new album yet? My friend, it is glorious. I think you owe Umphrey's an apology.

  • best concert of my life.

  • UMPH LOVVEEEEEE!!

  • they have so many years left in their prime. So excited to see what direction their music goes in.

  • nastayy tune umphz fuckin owns behold umphreys mcgee in their prime folks

  • @jimjim1399 i wouldnt even concider them in there prime yet hopefully. id only concider phish in there prime now

  • <3UMPH LOVE

  • From 5:10 on, kinda sounds like David Gilmour playing a stratocaster. Anybody else going to Columbus June 26th ?  : )

  • you'd have to be SHIT FACE WASTED to tolerate this horseshit for any length of time

  • @SuperNoobTroll It also helps to have a brain, so there's really no hope for you, dickhead.

  • @SuperNoobTroll So sad.. My condolences what life you have left :'(

  • @oxmoses thanks, though i can barely see you through your bong haze

  • hahahahah, super noob troll. that's the best name i've come across.

  • these guys are terrible

  • @SuperNoobTroll

    You my friend are an idiot. It is sad you will spend the rest of your life this way.

  • @SuperNoobTroll

    Its funny, Iv seen your comments on at least 3 um videos. Don't be a hater brother, except the fact that there's music out there besides metal. A true musician can tell that these guys have a bunch of under rated talent, but they dont care as long as there playing for the fans.

  • Just posted a comment on another umphs video....and....on this one? The same B.S. Everyone's worried about the image, this or that or the other thing. Just shut up and listen to the music, take it for what it's worth to YOU and listen again or move on people! Jesus, I love umphrey's mcgee, phish, sts9, moe, garage a trois, u-melt and a million other bands. When you only care about the superficial aspects of a musical act you are doing yourself a diservice. So.....hit the J and just listen!!

  • 5 people suck

  • the piano on this song reminds me of this one classical piece. i can't think of the name. any one got an idea?

  • the future of music!? really? they seem to think they can sing well. i like several bands with poor vocals but they know that's not their strong suit and choose not to it so prevalent. and i don't feel like they do anything that i haven't heard before or that they can do better than anyone else. maybe i just don't get it, but i'll take the biscuits or phish for my money

  • JEWS WANT REPARATION FOR WW2 8O YEARS LATER..THEY ALL DEAD..N FEW REMAININ SURVIVORS LIVE IN SHIT!THEIR GREEDY SHITY KIDS WANT..FUCK EM GOOD!GOD BLESS PRIESTS IF ITS REAL CALLING..BUT FUk CHICAGO ARCHDIOCESE N ITS CEMETERIES.NEVER GET BURIED there JUST FUK EM..CARDINAL GEORGE DONT GIVE SHIT IT COSTS 34OO DOL JUST2OPEN CRYPT TO PUT IN OWN CHRISTIAN OBJECT.ALL SAINTS CEMETERY IS DEEP SHIT TO AVOID!lolshit!

  • @GildyGury, what the fuck are you ranting about?

  • @JeffisfromKentucky, I am asking the same question mate

  • Man did the vox really suck throughout. It's got to be my only real gripe with the band. Should have gotten a legit singer... Really show's the beauty of studio work!

    Otherwise, such a great performance!

  • Im pretty sure the fanbase surrounding this band is still burnouts considering the guy who hooks me up with pot told me about them and also saw them at the allgood festival haha

  • @yooat It's a jam band. Ever heard of a Deadhead before? Yeah the Grateful Dead plays kick ass and the majority of their fan base is stoners. You know why? B/c stoners listen to better music. It's a fact

  • @ReaLizZe7 so true on the stoner part lol 

  • @ReaLizZe7 Dude Umphrey's is 20 million times the band Grateful Dead, Phish, and the Allman Brothers put together

  • @roxfan11 Come on man... it's all good music. Don't put down The Dead and The Allmans who paved the way for jam bands. I dig Umphrey's. Great music and great musicians, but no way I'd ever put them above The Allmans. I do, however, think they're one of the best bands of the 90s jam scene. Certainly better than Phish and on par with The Black Crowes, Gov't Mule and God Street Wine.

  • Umphreaks like to get nasty intense, Deadheads like to flop around to the music box on stage

  • @ReaLizZe7 Can't disagree with that.

  • @ReaLizZe7 GD are fucking lame and gay and deadheads stink,this is the real deal bitch !!!

    comparing that bluegrass crap with prog rock,man you suck ass and all the fags that gave you likes with you

  • @ReaLizZe7 you hit the nail on the head!!

  • @ReaLizZe7 I'm not a stoner but that assumption is usually true. It's just a deeper sound, lots of stuff going on that you actually have to LISTEN to, a complex sound you can get lost in and roll along with.

  • @yooat Two things, you dont have to smoke pot to enjoy music this good, and the fact that your drug dealer listens to umphrey's mcgee can in no way lead to the generalization that every single member of the bands fan base is a burnout. Also, just because a person smokes pot doesn't mean they're a burnout for that matter.

  • very gilmouresque guitar work

  • epic weeping guitar intro, makes me think of sci fi

  • wish they would come here :(

  • i respect them as musicians,.. but its not the best music. their a pop jam band. soon enough they will be on mtv. and there stuff will be played on alternative rock radio stations across the US... you will start 2 see the crowed transform into people with gel'd hair and barb'd wire tattoos....or burn outs who go to shows just to eat drugs. saw them in 03 and the crowd/fan base has changed dramatically since.

  • @Bosmato quit being such an elitist. That "you sold out" attitude is for teenage punk rockers. I promise you Mtv/major rock radio will never play 10+ minute prog jams. You are right about the burn outs but the same can be said for any jam band.

  • @Bosmato well, i saw them, and im into everything but mainstream.... they already play umphreys on the radio and nobody knows them..... 

  • @Bosmato Um no. They've been around for quite a long time. They will never give into MTV. They're living their lives. My high school has 4000 students. 2 students including me have heard of Umphreys. They are not "pop" in any sense at all

  • Seen Umphrey's at Gathering of the Vibes! hope they're there again next year! It was amazing

  • What Optimisprime420 said.....

  • electric factory 2/27/10, front row, in front of jake, whats good?

    

  • doesn't get any better than this band.

  • Kalamazoo State Theatre, Oct. 22, 2010...!!!!! Music AND Light show. check 'em.

  • Simply beautiful work Jefferson :)

  • gettin waful'd

  • LSD

  • they'll deny those goods exist

  • what Floyd song??? there's just no way they ripped it off and if they were inspired by it I'm sure Floyd is all about Umphrey's haha, and who's this guy who says "not the best live" WHAT? R U CRAZY SIR? so so so amazing live, probably the best yet.

  • Comment removed

  • this is a total floy rip off, these guys are a hair band gone bald. ps im not a hater i love jam bands, this one just happens to suck it.

  • I love how he gets the wah to say "whoa"

  • pump up the jam. Pump up, pump up the jam

  • o snap this is on my birthday

    great song

  • @kristinec33 i know exactly wat u mean

  • This is the absolute jam! I love this tune.

  • this is a total floyd rip off, these guys are a hair band gone bald. ps im not a hater i love jam bands, this one just happens to suck it.

  • @cmfishburn They are clearly not ripping off anyone. And Pink Floyd has nothing to do with "hair bands"... what are you even talking about? Have you ever seen Ump live? If you haven't then you simply will not understand this band.

  • @MainTightSqueeze know floyd is not a hairband , poor use of punctuation.im not the only one to think this a very floyd esq jam,i mentioned hairbands because of the heavy chorus and finger-taps used by jake and brendan. the band it self has described there sound as prog rock, a genre that became very popular in the early 80's. perhaps i shouldnt go so far as to say they suck ass, great musicians, just not my cup of tea .peace

  • @cmfishburn a very large portion of umphrey's songs are instrumental with no words at all. you obviously have not seen them live or else your opinions wouldn't be so uneducated. o well enjoy missing out on the best thing to happen to music this in decades. more space at shows for me!

  • @cmfishburn if you don't like umphrey's you must be a crack head

  • @kristinec33 i would take a bellringer over umphreys any day of the week

  • @kristinec33 shit i smoke rocks and i still love umphreys!!!

  • the intro of this song always reminds me of pink floyd <3

  • The beginning of this song reminds me of the piano in the sims songs.

  • aw this shit is bomb i gottta secret but your kinda like a polygraph

  • I actually love the vocals. Sure he wont win american idol, but I feel that the vocals just bring it together.. idk to me it makes it real rock n roll..

  • I LOVE Um, but seriously guys. Two words: vocal rehearsal.

  • UM is very,very good live. Musicaly flawless!

  • saw them in philly, electric factory, first row, Righteous music fucking amazing

  • I like this music. A lot. I would go as far to say the only thing that trumps my liking of this music is the state of confusion I find myself in trying to figure out why people in the front of the crowd are fist pumping... this isn't a nickleback concert. They could at least fist pump on time.

  • @stehenallein Hahaha I would argue that the occasional fist pump is a necessary evil at times during an UM show...

  • ver niceeee

  • CAN'T wait for Philly!!

  • i was there. setlist was damn near perfect

  • I like Bullhead City :(

  • Such a Floyd progression in the beginning it's ridiculous

  • @yenrab921 man they PLAYED Floyd at the concert i went to they played breathe and great gig in the sky

  • Was there also. Covington? Someone has a pretty good video of it on here. Venue was cramped as all hell though.

  • @conceptracr dude hell yea i like passed out because i was up against the left wall next to the trash can yea sent me a link to the vid

  • Yes! I was at the Wescott Theater show last wednesday and they played "In the flesh" into "another brick in the wall part 1" and they played flock of seagulls I ran

  • Damn near my favorite UM track.  Keep slamming, Brothers!

    jas patrick

  • all good is sick

  • this is a good song i think. i always liked umphreys. cant be beat live show. i think brendans doing good with this one live. hard to sing those changes.

  • wow, fast

  • Weird to hear people not digging the new stuff, I think they've evolved even more... I love Mantis, best album so far... (better than SIN at least IMO). Ditto on the pitch correction, I love Brendan's voice when he's in tune, but it can ruin the performance when he's not.

  • Just went to all three nights at Higher Ground and I will have to say that some of the new stuff they played was awesome. Especially cemetary walk with Dave Grippo and Jennifer Hartswick sitting in.

  • I love it.. Been a fan for a long time. (I know this is crazy) but I wish Brendan would use pitch correction some times. He's sharp/flat a lot.

  • Never heard that take on Stasik before.....

  • i completely disagree. pitch correction would totally destroy the amazingly organic feel of BB's voice. i mean, you woudn't put a pitch correction on Dylan, even though the old bastard can't sing for shit. being sharp/flat is a characteristic of their voices, and what makes them so unique and human.

  • back to the roots, I say!!!!!

  • does anybody agree that Prophecy now is the worst song Umphrey's has ever released?

  • i like it....

  • WHY? its soooo bad.

  • I hate to say it, but yes.

  • i'll see your prophecy now, and raise you a bullhead city

  • yea it's not very good. sounds kinda Frank Zappa-esque though so it's not completely intolerable to me.

  • Anything about the tunes on that CD sound like they purposely wanted to achieve a more structured sound?

  • sounds just as good live as it does on mantis

  • fave band played on my bday :)

  • vocals are way dope, maybe not the worlds best live, but they are good. they have substance and are borad enough to relate them to just about any aspect of the human element. umphreys is the future of music. these guys will rock for years and years to come , sooo innovative and influenced by so many different types of music , jazz , metal , str8 up rock n roll. umphreys mcgee owns shit right now. if you can find me a better band out NOW , i would surely like to hear them! Umphreys baby.

  • the only thing wrong with umphreys is a lot of their lyrics are actually pretty terrible. other than that best band on earth. i believe.

  • I agree if anyone can show me something better than UM I would love to hear it. Mantis is a Fekin Masterpiece

  • @optimisprime420 I'm not going to try and tell you there's a better band because there's no sense arguing over perspective but since you seem interested in good music (which Umphrey's McGee certainly is) I highly recommend Radiohead. If you haven't heard of them check out their songs "Paranoid Android", "High and Dry", and throw in a little "Knives Out" for good measure.

  • @optimisprime420 couldn't have said it better myself. best there is

  • UM ALL THE WAY ,BABY!!!

  • @optimisprime420 the decemberists

  • @optimisprime420 Phish... has been doing it since the 80's..

  • @optimisprime420 I don't know if this was rhetorical or not, but I prefer moe. to Umphrey's McGee, they are both amazing, yet moe. seems to speak to me more fully.

  • @optimisprime420 , Phish is WAY better. Umphrey's is good stuff, but to suggest there aren't better bands out right now is just silliness. Dave Matthews Band is rocking harder than this...

  • @JeffisfromKentucky Dude hahaha dave rocking harder than this your foolish

  • @GratefulSkiier, actually, Dave can sing. These guys, while talented with their instruments, cannot sing at all. Use your ears when you listen to music and maybe you will find this simple fact of life yourself.

  • @JeffisfromKentucky I am not arguing with you man I used to like Dave till I started listening to music! And using my ears, Dave sucks especially anything lately these guys are only getting better every night they play there actually on tour and have a way better vibe go to a dave show then an umph show tell me which ones more fun and which ones music sounds better UM phreaks fly together and dave is well DuMB

  • @GratefulSkiier, I am actually going to see UM tonight in Lexington. I plan on recording it so I will post it when I get a chance. But as for the Dave thing, I am talking more about the vocals than anything. I saw Dave at Bonnaroo this past year and they rocked, but UM does have a better vibe. If only they were strictly instrumental...

  • @JeffisfromKentucky Nice I will be in detroit if it's Dave's voice your after fine but he lost his sax player sadly and with that went his sound I believe, UM singing is there strong suite but there lyrics are better than dave's unless you perfer sterotypical bullshit

  • @JeffisfromKentucky Meant to say isn't there strong suite live sorry.

  • @GratefulSkiier, haha fair enough. Dave's lyrics are a bit cheesy, and DMB certainly went way down hill after the death in the band. Hopefully UM will melt faces tonight in Lex.

  • @JeffisfromKentucky yes sir! ill be there!

  • @optimisprime420 i dont see how you figure they are weak LIVE they are weak in the studio

  • @optimisprime420 i love the Umph, but come on dude, Phish is touring.

  • mountain jam ..bet you froze your ballz off ....music is great at mountain jam ...scene sux ...!!!!!!!

  • so pumped for mt jam. already packing my shit , this will be my 13th or 14th time seein um this year

  • summercamp in 12 days!!!!!!!!!! 3 nights of UMPHS!!!

  • rough vocals....

  • dude i love these guys

  • i went to the concert the next day at the same venue. this was one of the songs i absolutely wanted to hear, but I was a day late. but anyway, they were a blast the next night.

  • Was at the Dekalb show on 4/17. Was praying to hear this song. But didnt happen. Still a totally rad band. Wish they were still at ND when I was there.  Great band

  • i love how they post this legit stuff on youtube. great band. very fan friendly.

  • this song is insane

  • was at this show!

  • they're so good it's not even fair

  • Amazing! I'm so diggin' on this new disc right now. They pull it off great live, and this being their first time... so good!

  • I have noticed that this amazing band brings to mind Gentle Giant nuances.  Amazing shit really. I'd travel to see these guys.

  • I can't wait to see this in April. House of Blues baby!

  • their sound is so tight. that's sick
