Today, Umphrey’s McGee released a new video of Jake Cinninger sound-checking the song “Glory” ahead of Umphrey’s September 2nd performance at The Pageant in St. Louis, Missouri. The performance was the last of three shows the group performed over Labor Day Weekend, all of which were webcast with the proceeds going to benefit Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. In this newly released video shot and edited by C.J. Strehlow, Jake Cinninger runs through the opening guitar lines of the song. During the video, fans can get a little glimpse of the band’s shenanigans as Brendan Bayliss, and later Ryan Stasik, come up behind Cinninger, hilariously staring blankly past their bandmate, who to his credit barely bats an eye, before the two wander off.

On September 2nd, Umphrey’s McGee performed “Glory” as the first-set closer, moving into the tune coming out of “The Linear,” which heavily featured teases of the later number. Give a watch to Jake Cinninger’s soundcheck of “Glory” below (plus to the silly antics from his Umphrey’s bandmates), then take a listen to the full show below, courtesy of djphrayz, to compare the soundcheck to Umphrey’s full rendition of the number later in the night.
