Umphrey's sets this weekend speak for themselves.  This was the 6th time or so I had seen UM in Nokia Theatre, and I must set they were the best back to back sets.  The highlight of the guests included Matisyahu on Saturday.

Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, an empty pool, and hundreds of fans, what could make for a better Wednesday night?  How about Umphrey's playing a longer set, or a little collaboration between the two bands.  I was a little upset that Umphrey's played a short set.  Also they did not play in the night to utilize a proper light show.  Anyway, Umphrey's set was as follows:

Prowler > Pipeline > Plunger > "Jimmy Stewart" > Higgins > Plunger, Atmosfarag > Roulette, Utopian Fir > All In Time

It felt as though they were playing really long Stewarts (jams) the entire set, which can also be said for Bisco.  The Disco Biscuits jammed out all night and ended with a cover of the Ramones song "I wanna Be Sedated."  Overall, it was a good night of music and jamming.

All shows have been scheduled but due to unexpected circumstances some shows may be canceled.  If you plan on attending any of these shows please contact me, so maybe we can get tickets together.

Before I list all theconcerts that I would like to go to I would like to share with everyone one of my favorite songs of all time.  The band Phish speaks for itself, but this song just emits emotions.  Anytime I listen to it I am also guarenteed to smile.  I can only hope that these bands are able to jam like Phish, or put on a similiar performance.  Since Phish's departure in 2004, and the last time I got to seen them in Brooklyn, I have expanded my music horizons.  Please enjoy this song and look to see some of the bands I have built some respect for.
