Well I definitely wouldn`t go as far as saying it`s the best UM show you could hope for, but it was definitely a good time. The first set had a few highlights but it was pretty standard (awesome still, but I`ve seen better).
That 2nd set was a lot better with the itk dance party. Maybe it was the fact that the shows prior to the 5th they had absolutely slaughtered the South and the songs left to play were ones I wasn`t wanting to hear.
This is probably the weakest of the April shows for sure, and I`m glad as hell I went to that Tues in Dekalb. Now THAT is a rock show.
I give this one 3.5/5

This was the second time I have seen UM. I will never forget the feeling I got the first time when I was shocked that a band with so many individuals could be so tight. This time it was even better. This was hands down the best live show you could ever hope to see. A band like this only comes once in a lifetime...so don`t them!!

This was my first UM show and I was totally blown away. I did not know really anything about the band, but was told by many people I NEED to see them. I grabbed a copy of Anchor Drops and bought a ticket. The only songs I knew really were In The Kitchen, Higgins, and JaJunk (which I loved)....... and lucky me. The entire second set was a godsend for me. Then the encore. My friends and I went crazy.
Also, I don`t know if anyone has mentioned it, but when they played Black Hole Sun, my friends all turned and me and said "What the hell, is this Soundgarden cover?!? This is AWESOME" My friends favorite part of the night besides the encore.
The fact that it was the drummer`s (Kris?) just made it that much better. Singing Happy Birthday to him and then having him sing Black Hole Sun was amazing. Not to mention the guest guitarist on Little Wing. So sweet!

Fantastic Show! (4/7/2008 8:20:10 PM)
That show was so kickass, i was so blown away. I would have to say it edged last years show in St Louis, but These guys are so creative and good, that it seems like every show can be held on its own in comparison. I love what UM does by changing it up and challenging themselves each night, leaving it all on the stage. I had such a good time on Saturday, Thank You UM!

Definatly one of the better Umph shows i`ve been to. The second set was out of control. Definatly better than last years show at the pageant on the exact same day.

KIckASS Show!! From start to finish. Jake went into robot mode w/ the quickness and I knew it was on. Highlights were definitely the entire second set, but the first set was no disappointment either. Thanks umphrey`s once again.
