Umphrey’s McGee has announced a new initiative to offer fans the chance to rent the pro-shot videos of select past performances pulled from their extensive vault of over 2,500 shows over the years.
Announced on Friday, the band’s new “Into The Vault” platform will allow fans to rent concerts selected by the band to be watched on the device of the renter’s choice for just $5.99 per show. Each rental will appear in 1080 HD along with pristine soundboard audio, and is valid for viewing for up to seven days from the time of purchase.
The first archival performances selected by Umphrey’s is that of their five-night 2014/2015 New Years run at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA on 12/30/14 through 1/3/15. The band’s performance at Austin City Limits Live at The Moody Theater in Austin, TX on 8/31/18 is also available to rent. More shows are set to be added to the mix in the near future.

“With nearly 2,500 shows in the rearview mirror, the archives continue to grow at a rapid pace. It is often hard to find time to look back when so much awaits in the present and future,” the band said in a statement shared to their website on Friday. “With more time to reflect than usual, we look forward to looking back with you and reliving some experiences together. Remember, objects in your rearview may be closer than they appear.”
The new video rental initiative follows the arrival band’s latest single, “Easter in Quarantine”, which was shared earlier this month ahead of the popular Catholic holiday. The band was also recently forced to reschedule their 2020 “UM Bowl” performances at The Capitol Theater scheduled for next month, along with their inaugural RÖCKJAVIK destination event in Iceland which was originally set for March 20th-22nd.
