Umphrey’s McGee

In June 2014, during their performance at Mountain Jam X, Umphrey's McGee was actively promoting their album "Similar Skin," which had been released earlier that year, on June 10. This marks an interesting phase in their career as "Similar Skin" introduced a new chapter for the band, showcasing their evolving sound and innovative approach to songwriting. The live recording of "Pay The Snucka," alongside a cover of "Bulls On Parade," exemplifies their eclectic mix of original compositions and rock reinterpretations, reflecting their improvisational strengths and versatility as a live act. Additionally, the choice to cover a Rage Against the Machine anthem illustrates their willingness to engage with bold and politically charged material, enhancing their reputation for dynamic live performances. This period also marked a significant moment in their history, as they were increasingly recognized for their energetic live shows, establishing a strong fanbase rooted in the jam band scene.
