Umphrey’s McGee

In October 2012, when Umphrey's McGee performed the mash-up of "Exodus," "Life During Wartime," and "City of Tiny Lights" at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee, they were riding high on the success of their ninth studio album, *Similar Skin*, which had been released earlier that year. This album showcased the band's continued evolution in blending progressive rock and improvisational jams, marking a notable shift towards a more cohesive songwriting approach. The live performance was significant not only for its eclectic mash-up selection but also for featuring Charlie from This Must Be The Band on vocals, highlighting the band's collaborative spirit and their appreciation for diverse musical influences. As a group renowned for their live improvisation, this particular concert was a testament to their ability to seamlessly weave different genres, engaging with their audience in a creative and dynamic way.
