Umphrey’s McGee

On May 5, 2007, during the performance of "2x2" at The Granada Theater, Umphrey’s McGee was in a dynamic phase of their career. Leading up to this live recording, the band had released their album "Safety in Numbers" in 2006, which further solidified their progressive rock and jam band style. This live performance took place during a period of increasing popularity, as they had begun to gain significant traction with their unique blend of jazz, rock, and improvisation.
