Umphrey’s McGee

In April 2007, when Umphrey’s McGee performed "40's Theme" at the Murat Egyptian Room in Indianapolis, they were riding the momentum of their earlier studio release, "Safety in Numbers," which came out in 2006. This album marked a significant evolution in their sound, incorporating more progressive elements and tighter arrangements. The live recording captures an exciting moment in their career, showcasing their prowess as a live band—an essential aspect of their identity.
