Yesterday, Umphrey’s McGee concluded their destination concert event, RÖCKJAVIK at the Eldborg Hall in Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center in Reykjavik, Iceland. The performance featured sit-ins by trumpeter Jennifer Hartswick and bassists Marc Brownstein. The ensemble busted out “Barracuda” for the first time since 2016.
The show got underway with a segued pairing of “Bathing Digits” and “Crucial Taunt.” Then the band took on “Maybe Someday” and “2nd Self” off 2002’s Local Band Does OK. The set continued with more favorites, including “Remind Me” and “2x2," before coming to a close with an impressive jam which included “Great American,” followed by “JaJunk."
Set two began with “Attachments” into 2009’s “Cemetary Walks,” off the LP, Mantis. They continued with “Hurt Bird Bath." “Ocean Billy” featured The Rolling Stones, “Can’t Hear Me Knocking” tease, before Trey Anastasio Band trumpeter, Jennifer Hartswick joined the band on bust out, “Barracuda,” last played on April 7, 2016, in Augusta, Ga. The day prior, Hartswick also sat in with the band during the first set for “Bullhead City” and “Electric Avenue to Hell.”
Umphrey’s McGee concluded their second set with the rock-jam odyssey “The Triple Wide,” which included a Led Zeppelin “Stairway to Heaven” tease. After a brief break, the band returned to the stage for their encore. Marc Brownstein replaced Stasik on bass during “Booth Love,” and the show finished with “Puppet String.”
