What a weekend. 3-nights of @umphreys.com at The Vogue should be a new annual tradition. Band was HOT all weekend. Lovely little neighborhood around the venue. Too many friends to even count. Immaculate vibes all around.

first It Doesn't Matter with the Zwang 58 show gap (LTP 3-14-25) ends the longest gap in IDM history #umphreys #umphlove

This No Diablo is mesmerizing, sweet lights/graphics matching the mayhem #umphreys #UMVogue

At UM’s very first Vogue show - 6.15.00 - Graham Wiggins (aka Dr Didg) guested on his own song, “Bob’s Cloud” In the 2nd set, UM debuted Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys “Power of Soul” which UM has performed 87x total (T-3rd most frequently played cover song) #umphreys 7/

With 11 prior visits between June 2000 (pre-Jake) and June 2004, The Vogue beats out The Murat (10) for most indoor Indy shows This week marks UM’s first multi-night run at Vogue. Other 2-nighters in Indy: 3/13-14/09 Murat 4/6-7/07 Murat - captured on UM’s 4th live release #umphreys #geekery

Two years later, Bath was blossoming into an improv-heavyweight, focal point of any set. One of UM’s most euphoric moments at The Vogue (5.22.03) is courtesy of a Bath sandwich: HBB > Glory > HBB, a peak moment discussed (and snippeted) on Side B: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... 4/

Speaking of debuts, The Vogue witnessed the world debut of Hurt Bird Bath on October 4, 2001, becoming the birthplace of a song that’s spent the last 24 years etching itself onto UM’s Rushmore The Wow Show explored the history & impact of Bath — Side A: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Last time UM played The Vogue was June 8, 2004 as a warmup show for the band’s epic late night set at Bonnaroo three days later. Set 1 was an acoustic affair, closing with the debut of Bob Seger’s Night Moves #umphreys #livemusic #UMVogue

Vogue 3-night run opens with Conduit, ending a 42-show gap (longest in song history). Last time played was 4.29.25, Kris Myers’ last show, though Conduit was played with Jason Bonham behind the kit following a set of Zeppelin bangers Excelllent 1st performance with Zwang

In my ongoing Umphrey's McGee listening deep dive, at some point years ago I stumbled across the band covering Bell Bottom Blues back in 2005. It's among my favorite songs of all time and it got played four times that year and got shelved never to be played again.

Pony lays out intricate funk lines when this improv drops. Extra oomph from Doom Flamingo’s keys wiz Ross squeezing every ounce of Sprayberry from this rad Wappy #umphreys

Super-sized N2 at Brooklyn Bowl checked off 5 more songs making their Zwang debut: Deeper, Phil’s Farm, Draconian, Orfeo & Ain’t No Fun #umphreys #SnoopDogg Escape Goat made a strong case for 2025 HOF ballot What surprises are in store for tonight???

Slappin HARD

Marks the first Phil’s Farm played w/Scotty on drums & mercifully ends the desert of 47 Phil-less shows, the longest show gap in the song’s history dating back to UM Show #1 #umphreys #livemusic

Last night ended a 32-show gap for Attachments, the longest of its song history (double the previous longest gap) This also marked the 2nd Attachments show opener over the last two years & first since opening the Morocco run in April 2025 #umphreys

Fantastic N1 at Brooklyn Bowl. 1st performances of Attachments and Much Obliged w/Scotty Zwang + topical debut cover + respectful nods to departed music icons #livemusic #umphreys

> Recently Passed Medley New York Groove (Ace Frehley) > For the Love of Money (Anthony Jackson of The O’Jays) > Brown Sugar (D’Angelo) > Nookie (Sam Rivers of Limp Bizkit) #rip

As G1 of the World Series begins tonight in Toronto, a serendipitous reminder that today is the 13th anniversary of @umphreys.com last show north of the border (also in Toronto) Hey @goldlikejoel.bsky.social — if the Blue Jays beat the Dodgers, will UM return to T-Dot? Canucks love prog #umphreys

20 yrs ago, #umphreys played ATL’s austere Tabernacle for the 1st time, a relationship b/w band and room that blossomed quickly. Since then, UM’s made ten return trips, incl a Halloween mashupfest (2011) & four NYE runs: 12, 14, 18, 25 The Tabby’s 25 shows rank 7th most among UM’s oft-played venues

Soul Food II, played all of 47x across 25 years, is kinda the redheaded stepchild of Ali Baba’s songs absorbed into the Umphreys repertoire

25 yrs ago — Soul Food II debuted during Jake’s 9th show w/his new band The 2nd Ali Baba’s Tahini song formally welcomed into UM’s catalog — Space Funk Booty was #1, debuting in Jake’s 2nd show (9.7.00) Four more ABT songs would debut over the next month (Prof Wormbog, SF1, N2F & 40s) #umphreys

15 yrs ago, UM triumphantly returned to Oklahoma City w/help from local keyboardist Jonathan Martin (The Uglysuit) jammin on his band’s own song Only other OKC gig was 2003’s epochal night immortalized as UM’s 1st live release w/Myers on kit. Somethin in that Deep Fork water… #umphreys #livemusic

At least 13 compositions have been stewing on the sidelines for the longest stretch of their song history, including: #5 IDKWIW Rocker 2 Phil’s Farm Bad Friday Red Tape Miami Virtue Attachments Whistle Kids It Doesn’t Matter Fussy Dutchman Padgett’s Profile Tribute to the Spinal Shaft #umphreys

With 8 shows left in 2025, Scotty’s UM learning curve will continue in earnest into 2026. Despite checking off new songs each gig the last few months, there’s still 76 UM originals* unplayed by Zwang, 30 of those played +100x *played min. 20x & at least 1x since 2024 #umphreys #livemusic #MusicSky

Synco’s 38-show gap was the song’s 2nd longest unplayed stretch since debuting in March 2001, 4 shy of the longest (42 shows from Sept ‘11 to Jan ‘12) Hangover’s 67-show gap was also the 2nd longest since deputing Sept 1998, trailing an 85-show gap following founding drummer Mike Mirro’s departure

Time to update the Scotty Learns UM’s Catalog tracker after The Mish N3 > two Montana shows: 12 more songs crossed off (7 originals + 5 covers): Onward & Upward Piranhas Exit Signs Gurgle Syncopated Strangers Hangover Pay the Snucka Immigrant Song Bennie & The Jets Layla I Am the Walrus Cherub Rock

3-song second set last night in Montana #umphreys 🤘🏽

The band is playing with some serious fire. Here are 4 hours of highlights from this weekend. Could I trim this? Maybe. But that’s no fun. @umphreys.com @goldlikejoel.bsky.social Counting down the days until the Indy run, currently 52. ℹ️: ~ UM Mish 2025 ~ 🎵: 16 tracks ⌛: 4:16:38 2nu.gs/4mmdvr9

The Serpent Stew strikes again!

Last night was one of the best @umphreys.com shows I’ve ever seen 🙌 what a special run at my incredible home venue. ✨ All my friends are here right now… onward & upward ✨

The major bustout Joel teased earlier marks only the 2nd time Onward & Upward has been played since debuting 5.3.14 at UMBowl V (combining 2.6.14 Mantis + 2.6.13 Milk + 10.16.13 Dump City + 10.17.13 All in Time) 7.23.17 Peoria the only other time the full suite was played until tonight #umphreys

By checking Wide Open off the list, two tracks from Blueprints remain TBP with Scotty — Unevolved & Exit Signs Is tonight the night??? #umphreys #ToBePlayed

Updating the Scotty Learns UM’s Catalog tracker - The Mish N2 crossed off six 1st Timers w/Zwang: FF* The Floor** Fenced In Gulf Stream Wide Open Where Is My Mind * 66 show gap is FF’s 2nd longest in song history, the longest (90) ending in Jan 2025 ** 38 is Floor’s longest gap #umphreys #Pixies

ooh, another Spinal Tap reference with All in Time. Close the run out with a Smell The Mitten>Jazz Odyssey tonight.

Umphrey's McGee turned that #umphreys knob up pretty high tonight up the Poudre Canyon. 🤪

Can’t wait to spin these jam-heavy sets w/inspired cover choices. In a nod to Spinal Tap 2’s movie release on same day, Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight shook off 7 years, 500+ shows of cobwebs + Scotty’s 1st time playing Fugazi’s Waiting Room, UM’s 5th most frequently played cover (85x) #umphreys

Not sure which I love more, the “I’m gonna listen” attitude or the 6-point explainer for how Blueprints came to be #umphreys #livemusic

Umphrey’s has a new album out today of songs constructed from (fan voted) jams. Album is mixed from both live and studio recordings thereof. It’s a cool approach and worth checking out, especially if you are a “jam band fan”. Some great songs on here, my personal favorite is Exit Signs.
