Scott Metzger Joins Umphrey’s McGee in Maine

  After welcoming Robert Walter and moe.'s Vinnie Amico the evening prior, Umphrey's McGee invited JRAD guitarist Scott Metzger to the stage on Saturday night in Portland, Maine. UM's first half at the State Theatre was bookended by "Cemetery Walk I" and "Cemetery Walk II." Between those two numbers, the band touched on throwback originals like "Syncopated Strangers" and well as newer fare like it's not us cut "Remind Me." Later, Metzger jammed on a cover of Talking Heads' "Girlfriend is Better" on the tail end of set one. Set two offered plenty of chances for UM to improvise, as they opened with their Mantis track "Bridgeless" and worked through "It Doesn't Matter" and "Ringo." Next came a nicely placed "Phil's Farm" jam that bled into another newer tune ("Seasons" off 2018's it's you) before finding its way back to "Phil's Farm" to end the set. After an applause break, UM came back for an encore of "The Weight Around" - off 2006's Safety in Numbers - and surprised fans with a reprise of "Bridgeless."
