19 yrs ago, UM ended fall tour w/two dynamite NYC shows. Highlights galore, incl 🐐 Partyin Peeps + JaJunk w/song seeds of 1000 Places to See Before You Die — can I get a ruling on whether this is 1st performance? cc: @goldlikejoel.bsky.social @jwelsh8.bsky.social @bizarchive.bsky.social

Band was HOT all weekend. Lovely little neighborhood around the venue. Too many friends to even count. Immaculate vibes all around.

In my ongoing Umphrey's McGee listening deep dive, at some point years ago I stumbled across the band covering Bell Bottom Blues back in 2005. It's among my favorite songs of all time and it got played four times that year and got shelved never to be played again.
