Umphrey’s went with “Wappy Sprayberry” to get Saturday’s second frame underway. The 11-minute version bled into one of the band’s oldest originals, “Front Porch.” UM blew past the song’s typical structure to embark on ethereal improvisation. A blissful jam was built to a frothy peak featuring fretboard fireworks aplenty from guitarist Jake Cinninger before Umphrey’s brought “Front Porch” to a close.
