On December 2, 2016 Umphrey’s McGee played their first two sets of last year’s Dominican Holidaze at Breathless Punta Cana Resort & Spa in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The band unleashed heavy hitter “Wappy Sprayberry” towards the end of the first set and today Holidaze organizers have released pro-shot video of the jam-fueled original.
Umphrey’s opened with “Miss Tinkle’s Overture” at the event’s main stage on the 2nd and focused on classics through a rendition of the set’s only song which was debuted in the last seven years, “Speak Up.” The six-piece landed on “Speak Up” out of a “Wappy” that began with a typical dance party jam and evolved into a more hard hitting piece of rock improv, complete with a powerful climax.
