Umphrey’s McGee

In April 2011, when Umphrey's McGee performed the "Another Brick In The Wall/Thriller Mashup" at the UMBowl II in Chicago, the band was riding high on the success of their 2011 album "Death by Stereo," which showcased their fusion of rock, progressive, and jam band elements. Prior to this, they had released "Mantis" in 2009, which marked a significant evolution in their sound. The band's reputation for innovative live performances was further cemented during this period, particularly with their unique mashups that blended well-known tracks into cohesive musical experiences. The UMBowl event itself was designed as a fan-driven concert experience, highlighting the band’s interactive approach to live shows and solidifying their dedicated fanbase. This performance exemplified Umphrey's McGee's ability to reinterpret classic songs while maintaining a distinctively original sound.
