Load remaining images Last night, Umphrey’s Mcgee made their way to Oakland, CA’s The Fox Theater for their second performance in a run of six performances with rising Arizona jam quartet Spafford. The Spafford guys got the crowd warmed up, as always, with a jam-heavy opening set including fan-favorites “Slip and Squander,” “Todd’s Tots,” “Electric Taco Stand,” and “Leave The Light On.” Check out some fan-shot video:Following Spafford’s set, Umphrey’s hit the stage with a “There’s No Crying In Mexico” > “Attachments” opening segment, before laying the foundation for a “Bridgeless” sandwich that would encompass the rest of the set. After “Bridgeless,” the band segued into “2nd Self” before delivering a one-two punch of “Wappy Sprayberry” > “Rocker Part 2.” Next the band served up a cover of Steely Dan classic “Kid Charlemagne,” before making their way back to “Bridgeless” to close set one. You can watch pro-shot footage of “Attachments” below, courtesy of TourGigs, via the band’s Facebook page:The band opened set two with “Hurt Bird Bath” > “2×2,” before launching into a top-notch segment that saw “1348” flow into “Hajimemashite” and “Ringo” before returning to “1348.” After the “1348” reprise, Umphrey’s busted out “…And Justice For All” for the first time since 8/1/14 in Baltimore (252 show gap) to close the show’s second frame. Finally, the band returned for a “Day Nurse” > “The Floor” encore to send the Oakland crowd home with smiles on their faces.Umphrey’s and Spafford will return to the stage this Thursday, March 16th, for a performance at Tempe, AZ’s Marquee Theatre.
