They absolutely destroyed the Tabernacle in Atlanta for Halloween. I always enjoy a good face melting. I've been listening to Umphrey's since 2001 and they've definitely gotten a lot better in the last couple of years.
Agreed. Both Halloween shows in Atlanta were fantastic. I've been seeing them since September 2001 and they get better every time I see them. Very excited for a late night set.

You'll love them. You don't even need to be a big fan of "jam bands" to get into them. Hang out in the back, drink some beers and have a good time.

Also, holy crap on that video. I'm praying for a late night Which to give us all a little room to dance and so that everyone has to cram into a tent for Skrillex. However, I'm thinking this is unlikely and that they'll get stuck at That Tent on Saturday night and play until sun rise.
Damn, those videos are pretty crazy. Thanks for posting them. I have still yet to see a full set from these guys at Bonnaroo. I saw their sonic stage set in '08 but that doesn't count. And I think I left early in 2010 to see Damien Marley & Nas. As long as they dont conflict with The Word, Blackstar, or The Roots, I will definately stay for the whole set this time.
first post on here, saw umphrey's NYE show in st.louis and it was amazing! this is my first roo and i can't wait for umphreys again! the amount of excitment is overwhelming considering we have about 3 months to go!

i second the "first jam band i actually like" sentiment. I cant say im super into their original songs, but their one guitarist (the one that doesnt sing that much, jack i think.. cininger"?) is frickin unbelievable.. i think they do some of the best covers ive ever heard, most the time 100 times better than the actual band whos song it is. Id be happy with a two hour LN set of UM just doing covers.
Umphrey's late night has been pretty much confirmed before the lineup dropped.
By who?
Umphrey's has played Bonnaroo during the day on three separate occasions - 2002, 2005, 2008. It's entirely possible that they could wind up playing a daytime show this year as well.
Kill me if this is what happens. This is one of my favorite bands and for how much they splatter my brains everywhere at the shows I've been I can't imagine it late night at bonnaroo. Actually that's probably the reason they don't do late night at bonnaroo, everyone would just have a seizure from awesome

Nothing is confirmed but they are the biggest contender for the obligatory LN Jam Band spot imo.
There is no late night confirmation. It's just widely speculated because the last two appearances they've made have both been mid-afternoon which stage shows, which is sh*t.
But honestly I feel it could go either way. I feel like the late night Jam show could be a tent shared by Dumpstaphunk and The Word, and honestly I would be cool with that.
Yes they deserve a latenight, but as long as Umphreys doesn't get a 3pm slot on a stage again I'm cool with it. If major stage and tent additions are done, maybe some bands will get longer day/evening sets, and maybe Umphreys could play in the Other tent from like 7:30 to 9:45 on saturday, you know for the crowd that doesn't really care about the Avetts or RHCP.

I thought I remembered somebody finding out through the band or someone they knew. Might just be making that up.

amen to that. a late night is preferable but I'd have no problem with a decent size set anytime after dark. putting them up against RHCP would be fine with me.
man, still bitter about RHCP. Can you imagine if Foo Fighters was the headliner instead -__- they put on one of the best shows I've seen at the hangout last year

Bootsy Collins' 8-10 slot last year was not intended I know, but it really IMO ended up working out great. It wasn't overcrowded because it ran through the same time as The Black Keys, and it was dark enough out for a potential light show, which we all know Umphrey's has.
Not everyone is going to want to see the RHCP and preheadliner stage show. Give the non-fans something else to see. Why not put someone on in one of the tents? It doesn't even have to oppose the main headliner. If RHCP starts at 10:30, have Umphreys or Dumpstaphunk go from 8 to 10:15.

From a Q&A from the S2 at GATH per a review on Headstash.com:
Question 2: “You guys have a ton of stuff happening this summer – what are you most excited for?”
Stasik: “Summer Camp!” Joel: “No, no, we aren’t most excited for one specific thing, rather I think we are really excited for a lot of things. For example, Bonnaroo because we have really great slots.”
I'd say this all but confirms a late night set at the least, probably til sunrise. If so, Bonnaroo just made me exponentially more excited.
Not to mention at a lot of their recent shows they have actually stated "we'll be seeing a lot of you at Bonnarroo" I think it's fair to say that they got a sick late night set and the band is super excited for it. Here's hoping this means a sick setlist and some fire jams.
