Ok So Ive been listening to this show for a few weeks now. so let me give you my comments. First , I was at this show and when they started to play sweetness, you could tell with the smooth mellow tack they were taking that this was going to be an earthshattering show.
it kept on going strong from there. passing, sweetness and wife soup were all amazing, and actually its hard to pick a song i didnt like from this show.
Ive liked umph for years, at least since the mid 2000s, but some songs havent really hit it for me before. After hearing them at this show, I went back and listened to some old versions of these, and honestly id say the versions at artpark were some of the best versions of those songs ive ever heard.
Wappy sprayberry, push the pig, go to hell, and wife soup. Those songs never did anything for me before, but the sick versions you guys played that night, and listening to em again... were just off the hook. I cant get enough of em. The whole show is listenable right thru - a near impossibility for me for any show, even from bands I like.
So hats off to you umph. That was an earthshattering show and you now have converted a casual fan into a hard core umphreak with it. Cant wait till you come back around here, which i think is in september at the water street music club in rochester!!! SEe YA THERE!
anybody , you simply MUST download this show, best of the year imo.
