Umphrey’s McGee Announces ‘Hall Of Fame: Class Of 2017’

Earlier this year, Umphrey’s McGee asked fans to vote on the top live tracks of 2017 for their annual Hall Of Fame compilation. The sextet provided their own feedback and merged their thoughts with the winners of fan voting to sequence the best of last year’s 85 UM concerts into a format similar to one of UM’s live shows. The results can be heard on Hall Of Fame: Class Of 2017, a live album due on July 11. Highlights from the collection will be released on vinyl.

The average track length of the winners found on the new compilation is over 15 minutes. UM’s versions of “FF” from April 27 in Lake Buena Vista (Florida), “Sociable Jimmy” from February 17 in Asheville, “Phil’s Farm” from June 30 in Sandpoint (Idaho) and “Robot World” from January 22 in Jim Thorpe (Pennsylvania) are among the tracks that made the cut. The sextet’s rendition of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In The Wall” from January 20 in Richmond is the only cover included. Check out the full “setlist” below.

Hall Of Fame: Class Of 2017 is currently available for pre-order in both vinyl and digital download formats. The vinyl has been pressed onto a limited edition double LP produced with a vibrant blue tri-color splatter pattern. Each of the 180-gram records has a design all its own.

In other UM news, the band recently unveiled the official video for it’s you track “Upward.” The clip incorporates footage filmed at last month’s Summer Camp Music Festival. Watch the “Upward” video which premiered via Live For Live Music:
