Some have accused me of living under a rock, or something like that.....
Well, I guess here is another reason for that accusation.
Yesterday, I was channel surfing during the Sprint Cup race commercials and on Palladia, there was this 1 hour concert by Umphrey's McGee.................Holy Shit, I said to myself........I like this stuff.....
So little did I know, they have been around for a long time. The concert is on again this Tuesday Night and I will be watching in it's entirety in the HT.
Does anyone else here like them or even know of them???

From Wikipedia:
Umphrey's McGee or UM is an American progressive rock band originally from South Bend, Indiana, whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation", or "improg" (per a progressive sampler released by the band in 2009).[1] Although the band is part of the jam band scene, like Phish and the Grateful Dead (with ever-changing setlists, improvisation, two sets per night, open taping policy, etc.), they are much more influenced musically by progressive rock artists such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, and early Genesis, as well as heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden. The band also identifies The Police, The Beatles, and Led Zeppelin as primary influences.[2] UM experiments with many genres including funk, jazz, blues, metal, electronic, bluegrass, and folk.
