Umphrey's McGee - Nokia Theater 12.02.06

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 ^ with Jennifer Hartswick on vocals ^^ with Jake on keys last Sweet Child O' Mine 10.16.00 last Band On the Run 10.22.02

I just noticed on the band's website they have a new ticket purchase policy...a very green policy.  Peep the link.
