AWESOME! It's wonderful that they played Mantis from start to finish. I was hoping they would do this at some point and I'm so excited that they did it! Everything I've heard is awesome! Keep up the great work guys! Excellent, excellent stuff!

All i can say is Amazing.. these two nokia shows were awesome... And yea they repeated two songs, but who cares... They are promoting the new album so I'm sure they know not everyone went both nights, so they played a few mantis songs on saturday after playing the whole thing on friday.. big whoop. Umphreys tore the house down both nights.

i completely agree with charliehustle. i was at both nights, and even before saturday, i wasn't too psyched about this show. first set was decent (wappy was good, and miss tinkles was decent (average version), but the entire mantis album? c'mon. and then to repeat 1348 and mantis the next night at the same venue? what the fart? i felt like i was back on phish tour seeing back on the train for the third time in four shows...not cool. the next night was a MUCH better show...but was still not "epic." all in all, i was a little disappointed with the two nights in NYC. i had a good time, but they didn't blow me away. PS - i do NOT like the tone on that green/blue guitar that jake used for the entire first night and the first two or three nights of saturday. sounded distorted and didn't have his trademark clean sound...i though it was me, but as soon as he switched it was 100x better.

I know what i could ask for...Umphrey's to not play the same stuff two nights in a row...especially at the same venue. Why Umphrey's why?

Umphrey's is the best band out there right now, evidenced by this pure liquid fire show. I liked Mantis studio version, but these songs live translate so unbelievably well. They all mesh together incredibly as well. Amazing Miss Tinkle's and the improv deserves a spot on the next Jimmy Stewart album. Comfortably Numb encore, what more can you ask for?!

This is some sick shit. Mantis studio kicks ass and live it kicks a ton of ass. cemetery part 2 is 9 minutes of bliss.
