First and foremost...the whole show rocked, not just the second set. I wasn't there, but downloaded it, and it sounds like they were REALLY trying to show off on the second set and make everyone have a good time. All the songs have so much energy, and even through the download I can here how hard they're trying, especially Joel and Kris. The whole show rocks. Totally unique idea and I'm sure no one there even realized what was going on until like Spires or something like that. Be happy you heard an Umphrey's one in a lifetime...idiots. (Those who didn't like hearing repeat songs over the two days).

there's no reason to complain about song repeats or playing an entire album. for bands like umphreys it should be more about how they play than what they play. you probably can't find a song repeated two shows in a row for the past five years or so. it happened here because they wanted to play the whole album. its just one song and a good one, get over it.

It is also an asshole who tells people what the "right reasons" are to be into something. And I am over it...I just left my opinion. You are the one who can't let go (and apparently won't until we ALL agree with your opinion). If you are lucky enough to be reviewed one day as a musician, I am going to strongly suggest you don't read what they have to say. You will probably explode. I promise you no member of Umphrey's could give a shit that I was disappointed that they repeated a song. I still love the band like no other...but it's OK to not agree with everything they do. Guess what?...they often play a song and the jam never takes off...and I find that disappointing...but I don't try and make the world agree with me...or call them assholes for disagreeing.

I think the album play through's chill so I'm cool with seeing 1348 two nights in a row for that very reason.They had to get some Mantis out on Saturday for those who didn't attend Friday's show otherwise those peeps would be pissed to not hear any Mantis. What's more concerning is hearing a Snucka encore at every other show you attend, etc. I'd track phantasytour stats for setlist creation to keep the UMphreaks at bay.

Sorry to hear if my harsh words hurt you. my opinion comes not from the elitist music fan's opinion that ruins the legitimacy of debate on such forums, but from a musician that, as a member of a cohesive 5-piece band knows that playing a song two times in a row doesn't mean anything, especially not that the fans of the music are being jipped. bottom line: get over it. if you like a band for their style and their musicianship you'll like hearing something more than once. if you like it specifically for a song here or there you're not really in it for the right reasons.

It is an asshole who thinks their opinion reigns over other’s.

I didn't go to this show, but I think everyone that is pissed about a repeated song is just idiotic. Everyone would be lucky to be there when UM plays Mantis in its entirety. With an album so good from a band so good, what does it matter that they repeat a song or two? All you are doing by bitching about it is telling UM you don't want them to do things like this for their fans. Assholes.
