Umphrey’s McGee Bust Out “Roundabout” Cover for ‘Wrapped In The Round’ Night Two

12:48 PM EDT on September 4, 2020


After Wednesday's first of two 'Wrapped In The Round' shows, Umphrey's McGee closed out the livestream run last night, Sept. 3. The band performed in a production warehouse in Illinois, in which they were set up in the round, facing each other.

Like the first night, the band interpreted "StewArt" fan submissions for some jams, which on this night included "Technical Difficulties", "Rocket Launch" and "Under Water Ghosts."

The show opened with "Miss Tinkle's Overture, followed by "Looks." Next, the band played a sequence of "Slacker" > "Miami Virtue" before jumping into the fan suggestions. Later in the show, Umphrey's moved from the "Under Water Ghosts" fan submission into "Half Delayed," before a full segue into "Den."

Towards the end of the set, Umphrey's busted out a cover of Yes' "Roundabout," a fitting choice considering they were performing in the round. Featuring drummer Kris Meyers on lead vocals, the "Roundabout" cover was UM's first performance of the song since Dec. 30, 2010 and their tenth performance of the song overall. The band then closed out the 'Wrapped In The Round' series with "Liberty Echo" > "Hajimemashite."

Watch the show-opening "Miss Tinkle's Overture" below, and check out the full setlist.
