Umphrey's McGee: Full Concert from Rocktopus's Garden Featuring 'Wappy Sprayberry/Front Porch'
In February 2021, when Umphrey’s McGee performed "Wappy Sprayberry/Front Porch" live from Rocktopus's Garden in Nashville, the band was in a unique period of its career defined by adaptability during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to this live recording, the band released their album "it's not us" in 2018, which showcased their progressive sound and diverse influences. This era saw the band experimenting with different streaming formats and in-home performances to connect with fans. The "Wrapped Around Nashville" event, where this performance took place, was part of a series of concerts designed to provide immersive experiences despite the limitations imposed by the pandemic. One interesting facet is the band's continued collaboration with their loyal fanbase, as they actively encouraged participation through virtual concert experiences during this time. This blending of live and digital formats exemplified their resilience and innovative spirit as performers.
