Umphrey’s McGee teamed up with multi-media company Flight School Studio to help film the band’s recent sold-out performance at Chicago’s Lakefront Green. On Thursday, Umphrey’s premiered the second video as part of a new series, which gives fans unique perspectives in 4K high-definition and utilizes the 360° OverCapture technique. The new “40’s Theme” video follows up the band’s previously released “Push & Pull” video.

For their debut performance at the outdoor Chicago venue, the sextet brought their explosive first set to a close with “40’s Theme”. The “40’s Theme” video was directed by Pete Herzog, who has worked alongside the band in the past on producing a virtual reality concert experience for one of their 2016 shows. This time, Herzog and Umphrey’s utilized new techniques for the live video series, which included a pit helmet cam, drones, and spherical 360° angles to capture every perspective of the experience using 5 GoPro Fusion cameras.

The band shared their thoughts with the new “40’s Theme” video premiere on Thursday. They explained,

Another adventure with multi-media creative studio Flight School Studio, director Pete Herzog wanted to take old and new fans on a roller coaster ride to match the song’s potent riffs, crowd participation and varying time signatures. The 360° OverCapture technique that balances this avant garde song with equal innovative editorial techniques by Flight School’s own Chris Collins.
