Umphrey’s McGee

On November 8, 2014, Umphrey's McGee celebrated their 2000th show at The Orpheum in Madison, Wisconsin, marking a significant milestone in their career. Leading up to this momentous performance, the band had released their album "Similar Skin" in June 2014, which showcased their progressive rock and improvisational style. This period highlighted their evolution, as the album was their first recorded under their own label, Nothing Too Fancy Music. The performance included unique elements, such as a cover of the Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" reflecting the band's penchant for creative reinterpretation and their broad musical influences. The choice of venue also played a vital role, as The Orpheum has a rich history and an intimate atmosphere, providing a perfect setting for such a celebratory event. This milestone not only signified their longevity and commitment to live music but also demonstrated their ability to engage with fans through memorable performances.
