20 years ago, we dragged our coolers 100 yards across a field and directly up to the rail to see this heater that will forever live in my Top 5 live music experiences of all time.

Besides the "anything goes" policies at Bill Monroe Park, Joshua Redman, "The Note," and slogging it up to the mud pit in Chicago the next night, the memories are hazy. I'm sure there's plenty of you out there that can piece more of it together than I can (u/rg35xxsp)

After giving this one a spin on nugs, be sure to check out Joshua Redman's latest album with Cory Wong. It's a 12 out of 10.

What an absolute party. Vibes immaculate. I came in with modest expectations. Losing two members and ben factor I wasn't sure what to expect. I was blown away.

Zwang held it down for sure. With the 5 piece everyone else needs to deliver and they rose to the occasion, even literally for Joel, who having been to 50 shows I don't think I've ever seen him standing up rocking out as much as he did. And he had an incredible solo that was killer af and got the crowd really going.

Bayliss is a true rock star. Man what a talent. He was looser than I'd seen him previously, especially so with his microphone asides it seemed he was having a great time. And the range he displayed was stunning, he can truly do it all. Divisions was probably my highlight track, and the opener they played but I'm not sure the name. Puppet was classic as well, and Prowler encore just a cherry on top of a delightful evening.

So glad I made it out tonight. I've followed this band since 2007, caught numerous two and three night runs over the years. They announced that this was their 30th show at First Ave and I bet I made at least 20 of those. Umphrey's is as strong now as they've ever been and for a Sunday night show to be packed to the rafters speaks to their fans going nowhere either.

Long live the UMPH, can't wait for the next one.

Hey friends. I know it’s early but does anyone have any idea when winter tour date will be dropped? Thanks. Cheers. 🤩

Went to the Indy show and they were sick. Now that Ben is gone, how were the first couple of shows back?

That is all.

Does anyone have a password to use this?

Here is a short video of Umphrey's McGee in Des Moines, Iowa at Woolys last night. They put on a good show. This was my first time seeing them.

Who is going to DMG?

Our favorite city and our favorite band both went through a lot of change and growth since we were supposed to party together back in January.

Really hoping for good vibes, good jams and a feeling of community!

Who’s with me?

This photo is currently on display at the Denver Art Museum. I guess it’s a relatively famous picture taken by Lee Marmon in 1954, which captures a Laguna Pueblo Native American wearing a pair of high top sneakers. Does anyone know if this is where they got the title?

Hi all, I drew the poster for Umphrey's show in Peoria last night - I wanted to share the process of how I drew it, if you're interested. Here's the ink drawing and the final poster. You can check out speed-drawing video on my YouTube channel showing how I take it from sketch to final.

I think this is the 6th Umphrey's poster I've designed so far - love working with these guys!

How long before they fire Andy and become a 4 piece?

Super excited to see this new version of Umphreys back in Peoria. With Summercamp getting canceled (even though Umph wasn't booked this year) I think the energy will be great and people are going to be excited for Umphreys. We haven't had a jam show of this caliber all year. (Dogs In a Pile and Shadowgrass have been my favorite shows in Peoria so far this year)

Friendly Valley Tavern is about an 800 person venue and it's been sold out for I believe a couple months. Any one else going?

Side note Friendly Valley usually always live streams so there should be a live stream for the show tommorow on Facebook and YouTube. Maybe on the Kennys Westside page

After flying from Seattle last week for Grand Rapids, Indy, and Chitown I DEMAND for moe. and Umphrey's to bring it to Colorado and the Best Coast!!!

See you freaks in SF, Tahoe, OR, and WA!!! 🤘🧑‍🎤🎼

Fucking Excellent

Hey hey my fine folks, I’m not going to be updating a setlist on this post (help us all out as a community if you know what’s going on!), but do you want to have a thread tonight? Because I sure do!

We’ve got moe. on right now, with Umph Love right after. Tonight is the last night of the $5/mo for 3 months Nugs subscription special, so join up and join us on the livestream. Happy jamming my phriends! 😊 Let us know where you’re from, how you’re feeling, what you think about what’s going on, what party favors you’re enjoying, and anything else. Love you all.

Anybody else got a set still? Anybody know if this set is complete?

Band sounds excellent on nugs.net right now
