Umphrey’s McGee Performs 'Dance Hall Days' at Tabernacle, Atlanta
On December 31, 2012, Umphrey's McGee delivered a memorable performance at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, debuting their cover of Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days." This live recording came shortly after the release of their seventh studio album, "Similar Skin," which was released in June 2014. By this stage in their career, Umphrey’s McGee had developed a reputation for their innovative live shows, characterized by their unique blend of rock, jazz, and improvisational jam music. The collaboration with Mad Dog and his Filthy Little Secret on horns during the performance highlights the band's willingness to experiment with different musical arrangements and guest musicians, a hallmark of their live shows. This performance not only showcased their ongoing growth as musicians but also reflected their deep connection with their audience, as they celebrated the New Year with an exciting musical debut.
