You bet your brainhammer this list goes to 11 #umphreys#SpinalTap
@mgsmallz@MulchesOdyssey You two rock 🤘🏽June 5th remains my favorite date on the Umph calendar. Infrequently posting on Bluesky these days. Some day I’ll update the clips in my Intentional Syncopation blog post/love letter. Until then…
Recap, Setlist & Audio: @UmphreysMcGee dusted off a The Band cover for the first time since 2012 during a recent show in Charlottesville as a tribute to Garth Hudson.

@dbkels828 Great question Kelsea. I’ve tracked 6 lyrical Stews (always listening for more) in improv sections that became Proverbial:
7.26.07 Nemo
2.25.10 All in Time (HOF album)
3.5.10 Push the Pig
7.8.10 Push the Pig
2.11.11 Conduit
9.24.11 Alex’s House
Interesting evolution of Much Obliged: early pairing w/Haji + 1 of 10 songs on UM’s 1st live album + active rotation from 1998-2001
Cue 2002, played 4x in 160 shows
After Mirro’s final Indy show, MO was shelved for 136 shows until Indy H’ween in 03
Active rotation ever since🤘🏽
@gregg_tweets@UMfacts "Sully Time" was a play on words for "it's all in time" (slurred of course) and referencing old-school Indy phreak Mike Sullivan.
22 yrs ago, Mirro’s 5th to last show marked last time UM performed treasured songs w/founding drummer: Much Obliged, Uncle Wally, Q*Bert, Padgett’s Profile & “Wappy” (b4 rearranged comp & lyrics) + Ringo rotation jam(!) w/crowd on chorus #umphreys
