Umphrey's McGee/U-Melt | 04.10 | NYC
UM's two night run at the Nokia in NYC proves again why heavily touring bands reign supreme...

Nice pics Rob!

looks like a great show! the pics were awesome. those lights look amazing. i saw them play comfortably numb when they played it for the first time in charlotte this year. they nail it. cant wait to listen to this show.

those lights look sooo fucking awesome !!!!!!!

Great Pics !

Word to your motherboard. Can't wait for Summercamp!

nokia theatre has a amazing light set up, i saw bisco there and all i can say is that place rocks. I just saw UM for the first time last thursday and it was pretty bad ass

I must say, the reviewer's outlook on young fans is refreshing to hear. I like the attitude of "thankfully these younger people are getting into great music" rather than the "stay the f**k away from these shows cuz you're young" attitude. We were all the "young guy/girl" at one time or another. Granted...some of these younger kids are taking WAY too many drugs that they simply can not handle and are incredibly annoying but that's usually just a few of them giving the rest a bad name. And besides, tons of older people still haven't figured out their limits either! Sidenote...if you haven't checked out steve kimock's crazy engine yet they kill it. They were awesome at Skipper's Smokehouse last weekend.

wow, a little slow on the review. It's been 3 weeks since the show.

Anyway, nice review and great pictures. How 'bout that light show.

joel looks like kevin spacey.

I thought the article was okay.... I was really dissapointed the writer didnt even mention that Umphrey's played there entire album front to back the second set... not just some of it as he alluded too.... It was an insane move.... pulled off unbelievably as one song led perfectly into the next.... if your gonna review a show... atleast get the details down

thank God i see a taper in the crowd... looking forward to hearing this one. seriously, Umph just keeps getting more and more impressive with every show they play... is there a ceiling up there somewhere?

Summercamp>Rothbury! who's with me?

well they played every song from the new album but not back to back, i dont own the album but see for yourself. http://www.amazon.com/Mantis-Umphreys-McGee/dp/B001NJY65W.

thank you alex for taking the time to write such a nice article...the words and pictures make we wish i was able to make it out to the nokia that night.
