i'm using my 2000th post to show umphreys some love and prepare you guys for the best afternoon set of any this coming year... I believe Umphreys got a very firm shaft at Bonnaroo 2008.... but i digress...
Check out their podcasts on ITUNES, or here's their podcast site with mp3's of the same podcasts.
Yeah, I'm planning on catching them... not expecting them to be the best afternoon show, especially when the competition consists of acts like Levon Helm, Plant and Krauss, and ZPZ.
I love Umphrey's... an afternoon set isn't ideal but they will still be great. They had an afternoon set at Echo last year and it was smokin'... but a latenite UM is a whole different beast

Hands down, the BEST set I attended at Langerado this year... I really didn't know anything about them, but trusted my blinky friend's judgement, and was NOT let down in the least... should they have a latenight set at Roo? With all that is going on latenight... well, would just be another awful conflict for me, so, well, this time around, I'm REALLY excited that THIS band will be how I kickoff a truly amazing Friday at Roo... to start with the Umph and then end with the MMJ... Friday will be insanely EPIC from beginning to end!!!

You may think they are shafted but they are going to have everybody in Centeroo brght and early for their set because they are very popular. They are also not going against anyone too huge so this should be a very fun show. I also expect to see Umph will be playing with the Disco Biscuits before the night is over.
"That's the big thing about education. People can be book smart, but not really intelligent about anything else. A lot of times they just taking in all this information and regurgitate it. It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."
The biggest problem is it's going to be so freakin' hot at the Which Stage at 2 in the afternoon. I can't not dance. Pray for some cloud cover people, so we can all get our groove on without passing out.

Yeah, this time slot should atleast give Umph some new fans. There is not much going on at that time (IMO), and I've always heard good/great things about their live show...
So, yeah, hardly any conflicts and early in the morning mean ALLOT of people are going to be at this show... Myself included.

Sorry for the double post, but I was only at the Which Stage once last year; Flips late night, and we were at the very front and couldn't see behind us for the mass of people...
My question is, were those little tents still there last year? I remember them being there in 06 when I saw Ben Folds and Bright Eyes, because I was able to lay down and take a nap during Bright Eyes?
Hey now... I like bisco too! But Umph is killer, without a doubt.
I was rather intrigued by their time slot, and I sure hope that lots of people are bringing mist bottles to the show cause i'm sure everyone there is gonna need them
^ pshhhh. I really wish we didn't have to pray just to get our swerve on at Umph at Which Stage.
I was really hoping for a late night. Thursday - the Batiste (12 - 4) slot woulda been choice IMO. Or I aeasily lived with them playing Saturday night, i really don't have much going on at all then either.
I hope the guys are inspired at 2 pm.
Maybe they got the shaft because Bonnaroo is terrified of a hetty glowstick war like UM @ Langerado

This is a similar slot to what they had in 05', and that set was pretty sweet, although i have certainly seen better Umph sets. These guys are a latenight band, but they won't disappoint during the day either. IMO the most talented band at bonnaroo.
My biggest disappointment with the schedule was that Umphreys were not late night. I really wish they were. But I guarantee I'll be there to see them Friday afternoon.
^^^Assuming they don't play THROUGH Bisco! But yeah....that's the plan for now....though I totally don't expect Jim to stop @ 3....LOL! But then I don't expect Bisco to stop on time either! ;D
