Umphrey’s McGee

In June 2012, while performing at Bonnaroo, Umphrey’s McGee was promoting their album "Death by Stereo," which had been released just a few months earlier in February of that year. This live set showcased the band's dynamic improvisational style, emphasizing their blend of rock, jam, and progressive influences. The Bonnaroo performance occurred during a period of heightened visibility for the band, as they had gained significant traction in the live music scene and developed a dedicated following. Notably, the late-night slot from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM often designates a band that draws considerable interest, and Umphrey's McGee frequently capitalized on such opportunities to deliver memorable sets. This performance was also marked by their reputation for extending songs, allowing for expansive jams that delighted fans, reinforcing their status as stalwarts of the jam band genre during this early 2010s phase of their career.
