Umphrey’s McGee

On February 20, 2015, when Umphrey's McGee performed the "Immigrant Song" cover at the Landmark Theatre in Syracuse, they were actively touring in support of their 2014 album, "Similar Skin." This album marked a significant point in their career as it was their first to be released entirely through their own label, Nothing Too Fancy Music. The band was beginning to embrace a more self-directed approach, which allowed them greater creative control. Interestingly, the performance featured tour manager Bobby Haight stepping in on drums for a birthday rendition, highlighting the band's playful dynamic and collaborative spirit during live shows. This moment also showcases Umphrey's McGee's reputation for unexpected setlist choices and their ability to engage with fans through special occasions, making their live performances memorable and unique experiences.
