Umphrey’s McGee

On October 31, 2014, Umphrey's McGee was riding high on the success of their album "Similar Skin," which was released earlier that year. This was significant as it marked their first studio album produced independently, showcasing their evolution as a band willing to take creative risks. The live recording in Boston features a mashup that intriguingly combines "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, "Walk This Way" by Run–D.M.C., and "Funk 49" by James Gang. This choice reflects their penchant for blending genres and influences, indicative of their improvisational style and deep-rooted connection to rock and funk. The concert on Halloween was part of their tradition of themed performances, engaging fans with unexpected surprises. Furthermore, the ensemble's commitment to live music is evident, as they often release full shows for their fans digitally, maintaining a strong relationship with their audience.
