The STS9 / Umphrey's McGee tour
continued last night in Philadelpia, where two members of Sound Tribe sat in with UM at
Mann Music Center's Skyline Stage.
STS9 went on around 7:30 p.m. after Up Until Now kicked off the festivities. The
jamtronica stalwarts opened with a "Metameme," "Vapors" "What Is Love?" sequence as the
sun started to fade. The instrumental act rolled through songs from throughout their
career including the beloved "Breathe In" and even offered their remix of The Bloody
Beetroots' "Awesome" during a
marathon
16-song set.

UM took headlining honors on Friday night in Philly, hitting the stage just before 10 p.m.
The Chicago-based band worked "Day Nurse" in the middle of "Ocean Billy" early in the set
before delivering fan-favorite
"All In Time." A cover of Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Diamond" gave way to a "Wappy
Sprayberry" that saw STS9 bassist David "Murph" Murphy and percussionist Jeffree Lerner
added to the mix. "JaJunk" closed out the long main set. When the sextet returned for the
encore, they did so without drummer Kris Myers who lent his seat to STS9's Zach Velmer for
a cover of "Waiting Room" by Fugazi. Myers came back for a "Pay The Snucka," complete with
"Bulls On Parade" jam, that brought the evening to a close.
