Umphrey’s McGee

On November 3, 2006, Umphrey's McGee performed at the Barrymore Theater in Madison, Wisconsin, opening their set with "Plunger." At this point in their career, the band had recently released their fifth studio album, "Anchor Drops," in 2004, which was well-received and marked a significant step in their artistic evolution. Following "Anchor Drops," they would release "Safety in Numbers" in 2006, just months before this live performance. The band's live shows are known for their improvisational style and intricate compositions, with "Plunger" being a prime example of their blend of rock, jazz, and progressive elements. The concert was part of their extensive touring schedule that solidified their reputation within the jam band scene, and it also highlights their commitment to delivering high-energy performances that engage their audience. This live recording captures one of their signature tracks during a vibrant period in their ongoing journey as a band.
