On Wednesday night, Umphrey’s McGee continued their 2019 fall tour with a performance at The Mill & Mine in Knoxville, TN.
Umphrey’s McGee opened up their first set with a pairing of “Le Blitz” into “Space Funk Booty”, which was followed up by an exploratory segment of “Little Gift” into “2×2”. Following “Push & Pull”, Umphrey’s brought their first set to a close with a seamless segue of “Robot World” into “Loose Ends” and a set-closing take on “The Fussy Dutchman”.
Following a brief setbreak, Umphrey’s returned to open up their second set with fan-favorite “All In Time”, which smoothly coasted into a cover of Pat Metheny‘s instrumental “Last Train Home”. The Metheny tune was last played by the band during a VIP set at Summer Camp Music Festival in 2017, a gap of 256 shows. The set continued with “Rocktopus” and “In The Kitchen” before the band paired up “Den” and “Booth Love”. Following a quick pause to catch their breaths, the band closed out their second frame with “Bad Friday” into a proper ending of “All In Time”. The band reemerged to deliver a lone encore of The Beatles‘ “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”.
Next up for Umphrey’s is a pair of performances at Suwannee Hulaween on Thursday and Friday, October 24th and 25th. Head to Umphrey’s McGee’s website for a full list of the band’s upcoming tour dates, ticketing, and more information.
