Umphreys & Dopapod Cover White Room For Jack Bruce

There were no lack of tributes to bassist Jack Bruce last night, who succumbed to liver disease earlier in the day. We already mentioned The Allman Brothers Band debuted a cover of “White Room” in NYC and “Widespread Panic” feasted on a snippet of “Sunshine Of Your Love” in Milwaukee. Two other jam acts, Umphrey’s McGee and Dopapod, each debuted covers of Cream’s “White Room” on Saturday night in honor of Bruce.

Umphrey’s debuted “White Room” as their lone encore at The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Keyboardist Joel Cummins and guitarist Jake Cinninger handled vocals on the Cream cover. Cinninger channeled Eric Clapton in bringing the cover to a strong finish with a powerful guitar solo. Jake noted “That’s for Jack!” as the song concluded. The show also featured an “All In Time” > “Last Man Swerving” > “All In Time” sequence as well as a jam on Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” within the “Miss Tinkle’s Overture” second set opener.

Dopapod, who had just finished a run of shows opening for Umphrey’s, headlined The Spot in Providence, Rhode Island last night. Not only did the quartet debut their version of “White Room” in the first set, they also teased “White Room,” “Sunshine Of Your Love” and “Crossroads” within the second set.
