Umphrey's McGee w/Jennifer Hartswick on vocals
Umphrey's McGee played two nights at the Nokia in Times Square last weekend. I went to the second one (Saturday night). It is nice to see that this band can sell out such a nice sized venue twice. While I can't say with certainty that this show was a stronger/better show than the other three I've seen I can say they are consistent.
The jamming is always solid - lead guitarist Jake Cinninger shreds...seriously shreds. Highlight was Trey Band member Jennifer Hartswick joining the Umph-umph for a second set cover of GNR's "Sweet Child 'O Mine". The setlist was:
Set One Hurt Bird Bath, Ocean Billy > "Jimmy Stewart" > Resolution* > Ocean Billy, Morning Song, Mulche's Odyssey Set Two Bridgeless > The Triple Wide**@ > "Jimmy Stewart"$, The Bottom Half, Sweet Child O' Mine^, Push the Pig^^, Miss Tinkle's Overture > Much Obliged > Bridgeless Encore Band On the Run@ Notes * with Norwegian Wood tease
** with Carol of the Bells tease
@ with Jake on acoustic
$ with jam resembling Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and 25 or 6 to 4
