In May 2013, during the live recording featured in the Summer Camp Festival, Umphrey’s McGee was promoting their album "Similar Skin," which was released later that year in June. This period marked a significant moment for the band, as "Similar Skin" was their first studio album to feature a fully evolved blend of rock, progressive, and improvisational elements that characterized their sound. The Summer Camp Festival performance was part of a robust touring schedule, demonstrating their active engagement with fans and their commitment to live performance, a cornerstone of their artistry. Notably, this era also included unique collaborations and a distinct approach to live sets, including the creative interpretation of songs like "Slacker," which showcases their improvisational prowess and connection to the festival spirit. The kickball game featured in the recording exemplifies the band’s playful camaraderie and commitment to building community with both their audience and fellow music
