Umphrey’s McGee finished a massive three-night run in and around New York City last weekend, with two nights at “The Original Rock Palace” better known as The Capitol Theatre. The run culminated with a rock ‘n’ roll clinic at Brooklyn Bowl on the third and final night. Today, the group released video of “Speak Up” from the second night of The Cap run, which made an appearance towards the end of the second set.

Umphrey’s McGee Plays Nostalgic VIP Pre-Show, Covers Radiohead In Capitol Theatre Finale [Video]

While the show was drenched in plenty of fan-favorite songs from the Umph catalog, including “Out of Order,” “Wife Soup,” “Der Bluten Kat,” and Radiohead‘s “The National Anthem,” the fairly new(ish) track “Speak Up” brought, arguably, one of the best jams of the night as it posted up before and eventually segued into a second set-closing “Glory.” Since its live debut on New Year’s Eve back in 2015 at Denver, CO’s The Fillmore Auditorium, the song has become a fairly regular staple of the group, having been played 46 times over that course of time. Take a listen for yourself below:
