Umphrey's McGee and the Disco Biscuits closed their joint tour yesterday at The Caverns Outdoor Amphitheater in Pelham, Tenn. The night featured the final co-headlining show for the two bands and saw a debut by Umphrey’s McGee, who delivered their new original, “Always October.” Later in the night, the groups joined forces on stage for a cover of the Talking Heads’ “Making Flippy Floppy” to conclude their linked summer run.
Umphrey’s McGee began their set with a face-melting “40’s Theme” before jumping into “1348.” “1348” found its way into “2x2” before the band continued with “Dayville Monarchy.” The six-piece brought “Dayville Monarchy” back into “1348” for a bookended sequence of jams. Then, the band followed up with another debut– after an Aug. 20 first-time run-through of “Fenced In” – they delivered another first, this time, “Always October.” After a roar of applause from the audience, Umphrey’s McGee brought out “Plunger,” which segued into “Den” and then “Escape Goat” for a trio of electrifying jams to close out the set.
Members of the Disco Biscuits then joined Umphrey’s McGee on a cover of the Talking Heads’ “Making Flippy Floppy” as the two groups closed their joint tour. Following the band's last number, performed on Sunday night, Umphrey’s McGee will hit the road again this Wednesday, Aug. 24, when they take the stage at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Mich. Moreover, the Disco Biscuits will perform at Grand Rapids’ The Intersection two nights later. Finally, the two ensembles will share the stage once more for Bridgeview, Ill.’s Sacred Rose Festival on Aug. 27.
