Chick Corea's Senor Mouse is among the most difficult covers that Umphrey's tackles. Jake and Brendan welcomed their old guitar teacher, Jamie Magera, on-stage to pay respect to the man responsible for introducing them to many of the stylings that define their sound today. The 2nd Self is another example of the open-ended improvisation, as the band traverses through several different moods.

"Jimmy Stewart" The Second Album, now available at UMLive.net, is a look back at the first half of 2006, these tracks are the best of what didn't make the cut. As the band's improvisation style has matured, there's an increasing amount of attention being paid to creating lasting melodies.

After an always rousing Prowler comes an Uncommon with a unique (uncommon, if you will) extended improvisational take. Smell the Mitten is another in the arsenal of Spinal Tap references across the Umphrey's McGee catalog. To close is another improvisation laden Padgett's Profile that sees the band traversing several moods before dissolving into Thin Air. podcasts Sat, 28 Jan 2006 00:00:01 EDT jon@umphreys.com (Jon McL) http://media.libsyn.com/media/umphreysmcgee/umpodcast18.mp3 Umphrey's McGee 01:17:30 Believe the Lie, here with an extended ambient intro, is the opening track for the new album Safety In Numbers, due out April 4th. 00:00 - Get in the Van 07:42 - Believe the Lie 17:18 - Prowler > 22:51 - Uncommon 30:52 - In the Kitchen 43:09 - Smell the Mitten 49:56 - Padgett's Profile* > 66:34 - Thin Air Total Broadcast Length 77:30 Notes: * with Miss Tinkle's Overture teases no Umphreys, McGee, umphrey, Live, jamband, phish, jam, moe, string, cheese, zappa, gomez, mogwai, pink, floyd, steely, traffic, ween, pearl, nirvana, grateful, dead, allman, widespread, particle, mule, anastasio, talking, heads, tea nonadult http://www.umphreys.com/music/podcasts.php?linkId=103 00:00 - In Violation of Yes - (09.14.05 - Avalon, Boston, Massachusetts) 07:40 - Syncopated Strangers > 11:38 - "Jimmy Stewart" > 17:55 - Syncopated Strangers - (09.09.05 - Water Street Music Hall, Rochester, NY) 21:50 - The Fuzz > 33:01 - All Things Ninja - (09.13.05 - Pearl Street Ballroom, Northampton, MA) 45:50 - 2x2 - (09.11.05 - Higher Ground, South Burlington, Vermont) 58:27 - Phil's Farm - (09.29.05 - The Canopy Club, Urbana, Illinois) Total Broadcast Length 75:17 Notes: Jake Cinninger switches from guitar to bass guitar while Ryan Stasik moves over to the Fender Rhodes on the opening track, In Violation of Yes, which originally appeared on Joel Cummins' 2002 solo album Common Sense. All Things Ninja, a concert rarity these days, ventures into some of the more dark and dissonant territory that UM can explore. The closing combination of 2x2 and Phil's Farm mark the podcast debut of these two songs that have been staples of the repertoire since the earliest days in 1998. podcasts Tue, 10 Jan 2006 00:00:01 EDT jon@umphreys.com (Jon McL) http://media.libsyn.com/media/umphreysmcgee/umpodcast17.mp3 Umphrey's McGee 01:15:17 Jake Cinninger switches from guitar to bass guitar while Ryan Stasik moves over to the Fender Rhodes on the opening track, In Violation of Yes, which originally appeared on Joel Cummins' 2002 solo album Common Sense. 00:00 - In Violation of Yes 07:40 - Syncopated Strangers > 11:38 - "Jimmy Stewart" > 17:55 - Syncopated Strangers 21:50 - The Fuzz > 33:01 - All Things Ninja 45:50 - 2x2 58:27 - Phil's Farm Total Broadcast Length 75:17 no Umphreys, McGee, umphrey, Live, jamband, phish, jam, moe, string, cheese, zappa, gomez, mogwai, pink, floyd, steely, traffic, ween, pearl, nirvana, grateful, dead, allman, widespread, particle, mule, anastasio, talking, heads, tea nonadult http://www.umphreys.com/music/podcasts.php?linkId=103 00:00 - All in Time (09.17.05 - Electric Factory, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) 12:05 - Plunger (09.14.05 - Avalon, Boston, Massachusetts) 24:37 - FF > 30:05 - "Jimmy Stewart"* 35:12 - White Man's Moccasins > 42:54 - Great American (09.07.05 - Majestic Theater, Detroit, Michigan) 46:53 - Ringo > 52:23 - "Jimmy Stewart"* 60:47 - Ringo (09.30.05 - The Pageant, St. Louis, Missouri) 61:56 - Blue Echo** > 68:24 - Hangover (09.13.05 - Pearl Street Ballroom, Northampton, Massachusetts) Total Broadcast Length 73:55 Notes: * with lyrics ** with Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution (AC/DC) intro More selections from September bring an extended take on the ending of Plunger, demonstrating yet another direction ths song can go.
