Umphrey’s McGee Cover Ween and David Bowie in Athens

12:18 PM EDT on October 19, 2019


Umphrey's McGee continued their fall tour dates on Friday with the second of three nights at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, and the band offered a couple of choice covers including a Ween tune they hadn't played live in over two years.

After covering Prince's "1999" and adding a local nod with a tease of Outkast's "So Fresh and So Clean" during night one in Athens, Umphrey's returned last night with a first set that featured staples like opener "The Silent Type" and "No Diablo," plus a rendition of Ween's "Transdermal Celebration," which the band last played in July 2017, a gap of 200 shows.

Following a second set that was bookended by UM classic "Nothing Too Fancy," the group closed out the evening with a one-song encore of David Bowie's "Let's Dance."

Check out the full setlist below, along with fan-shot video of the Bowie encore. Umphrey's McGee return to the Georgia Theatre stage tonight for the finale of their three-night run.
