Re: Umphrey's McGee Appreciation Thread.
Funny story, last may they played at a small bar by my house (just outside chicago). Me and my buddy were home from school for about 2 days and I hadn't check jambase in while because of the move so didn't know they were playing. Found out the day of the show and called the bar to see if we needed tickets. Called at 5pm. The guy who answered said yes and that we could come buy some right now. so we head down there and get there about 5:20 doors are locked but we catch a waitress leave to have a smoke and go in. Ask them about tickets and they said they stopped selling them at 5 but will start selling them again at seven (show started at like 10) and then told us to leave, weird. While we are leaving see UM pulling there stuff in from the back. Thought about asking them for tickets because I was going to tape, but we just got in the car and left. Come back at 7:20 doors were still locked and there was a line of people waiting outside just to get in to watch the cubs. Waited for almost a half hour and they still didn't open the doors so we left. Only time I've attempted to see UM and got shot down. But I have many shows of them and they are insane.
