It was legitimately one of the best shows I've ever seen. Umphrey's was incredible, the sound was immense and crisp, and the whole thing nearly brought me to my knees (I stayed upright only for fear of being trampled by a large man jumping in front of me).
I know for a fact that there were three types of people at this show: potheads, musicians, and their wives. I know for a fact that every single person there had a great time. Even the big drunk guy that gave me a hug and promptly fell over.

Amazing.

This was my first UM show. A-fricken-mazing! Expected a Phish like jam band but these guys are something of their own kind. Amazing musicians. Super intricate super tight syncopated arrangements and killer improv jams. My left brain loves these guys. My right can't quite keep up. They construct songs like a conversation that takes so many tangents, you forgot where you started. Yeah, I know, that's their appeal. I thoroughly enjoyed it - just felt myself wanting a simple arrangement here and there.

I had the pleasure of seeing their show in Millwaukee the week before. The show in Grand Rapids blew that one away. They played a lot more songs from their Mantis CD. Plus they mixed it up with some of their older favorites. I think the crowd was more into the band, which made for a better show.

If you are reading this, you probably already know it. UM is the band to see right now. Their creative genius is only overshadowed by their enthusiasm for performing live. I was able to meet them at the TC show. What's even better, they are the most humble gents.

Please don't come to see them. I don't want to start seeing them in stadiums.

I was a huge fan of seeing Umphrey's in college (WMU in Kalamzoo) in the late 90's. Somewhere between then and now, Umphrey's has become an experimental metal-jam-math rock band. There definitely original but not the band I remember...which was a cross between Phish and Dave Mathew's. Oh well, things change.

I enjoyed Umprhey's Mcgee very much, they put on a killer show. Plus, they dealt with the echo and reverb of the ballroom very well. Unfortunately, there were a lot of smokers, the smoke congestion was horrible, I actually left early for that reason only. C'mon wheres the ban?

Umphrey's blew my mind. Like, literally, my mind was all across the theatre in different bits and pieces here and there. The light show was amazing to accompany the band's alternating between folk-style jamming and rock jamming. The opening act was great too. The only thing I didn't like was when the show ended at midnight!

It is obvious that Umphrey's McGee feels really comfortable playing at this venue. Each time I have seem them play at the Eagles Ballroom they shine. The crowd is always really into it and it is as laid back or as raucous as you want it to get. Lots of space, easy assess to the bathrooms, food. Easy to park, right off the highway for Chicago people.
Lots of newer music. Easy to get right upfront.

The Macpodz opened with a blistering set. A local Michigan band playing to the hometown fans. It was the first time we heard them and we hope to see them again. Bought their CD on the way out.

Umphrey's played their usual incredible jamorama show. We were in the third row. Had a good time visiting with the Grand Rapids contingent of Umphreaks. If you have a chance to see this show in Grnad Rapids or Traverse City, Go Dogs Go! You won't regret it. Incredible value compared to the big name acts. Choc full 'O groove. You won't be disapointed.
