Atlanta would be our realm, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tabernacleatl.com\/\">Tabernacle <\/a>our fortress, and UM our vessel to ride into the New Year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8270.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-63935 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8270-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8270\" width=\"441\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a>Each show, set, song and note contributed to the buildup of our own Umph-iverse in midtown Atlanta. Umphrey&#8217;s laid down a sturdy\u00a0foundation Wednesday with old-school favorites like \u201cAndy&#8217;s Last Beer.\u201d They exuded energy and exhibited instant comfort to the congregation inhabiting the three-tiered old church. Born-again Umphreaks received the sermon with delight. As Brendan Bayliss crept to center-stage during \u201cPadgett&#8217;s Profile,\u201d leaning back and coolly, adroitly finger-tapping his guitar, Jake Cinninger proffered a retort for each lick, shooting off ominous plucks and meeting Bayliss in the middle for a much-appreciated explosion. There were no New Year&#8217;s Eve-eve training wheels.<\/p>\n<p>The Dec. 30\u00a0show set the tone for the run: as Bayliss eloquently stated, Umphrey&#8217;s would be delivering godboners all week. \u201c40&#8217;s theme\u201d riled us up and we poured our energy back to the stage, driving the band to an emotional \u201cPreamble&gt;Mantis.\u201d \u201cThe Triple Wide\u201d rekindled a dance fever that UM started in set one with an uncharacteristically bright \u201cBlue Echo.\u201d We did our best to remind Stasik the importance of hygeine (\u201cPay the Snucka\u201d) and melancholically belted out \u201cDivisons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, when it was all over, the usual end-of-show tinge of dejection was absent: the night was over, but the party had only begun.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Repeat: A Horny New Year&#8217;s Eve<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Balloons hung from the ornate chandelier and excitement spread through the Tabernacle. Guys in suits danced with gals in dresses as Umphrey&#8217;s opened the New Year&#8217;s Eve affair with two heavy hitters, \u201cNothing Too Fancy&gt; All In Time.\u201d After new-ish crowd favorite \u201cMad Love\u201d and oldie \u201cIn The Kitchen\u201d Mad Dog and His Filthy Little Secret joined the party. Saxophonist Jeff Coffin had previously played\u00a0on Umphrey&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s run in St. Louis. With the full brass section blaring, they closed the last first set of 2014 by introducing a new original, \u201cPiranhas\u201d and paying tribute to Joe Cocker with a heated rendition of \u201cFeelin&#8217; Alright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8420.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-63941 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8420.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8420\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAndy Farag and the Fabric Softeners continued the crescendo to 2015 during set two. There was a tight \u201cPuppet String\u201d delightfully\u00a0warm\u00a0\u201cAugust\u201d and \u201cBright Lights, Big City\u201d was &#8216;big and bright&#8217;. They debuted Herbie Hancock&#8217;s \u201cHang Up Your Hang Ups\u201d and Bayliss reminded the crowd to forget the past, forget your mistakes; forget the corner you peed in and the disappointments you have; move on\u2014live in the moment and embrace the future.<\/p>\n<p>The third set was special; they only play three on New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p>Ten, nine, eight, the crowd surged and swayed.<\/p>\n<p>Seven, six, five, \u201cBad Friday\u201d was as good as ever.<\/p>\n<p>Four, three, two, a palpable energy shook the Tabby.<\/p>\n<p>One\u2014Umph-love!<\/p>\n<p>Balloons fell as toasts went up; lovers kissed, friends embraced; strangers high-fived and the party raged on. The transition from 2014-15 in Atlanta is something we all shared, we all had and would always have together. This was Umphrey&#8217;s year and this was our year. A resounding hopefulness was nearly suffocating as Farag went to town on the cowbell during a rowdy \u201cHonky Tonk Women.\u201d We banged heads for \u201cPlunger\u201d and sang loudly\u00a0to \u201cNo Diablo.\u201d Finally, after five hours of soaring, the hardest working man in show business, Kris Myers, led a filthy cover of James Brown&#8217;s \u201cLiving In America\u201d and we were all booted from the Tabernacle (only for 18 hours) high on Umphrey&#8217;s and life and each other.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Repeat Again: It Always Seems To Get Better<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I ascended nine flights of creaky old wooden stairs to the upper level Thursday night, a slight comedown from last night&#8217;s celebration was anticipated. I grabbed my spot\u2014front and center balcony: the sound was pristine and the view unimpeded\u2014and said \u201chello\u201d to the same neighbors from the previous nights. A comedown was expected, but everything just got better; it always seems to get better. The band pushed all the right buttons and pulled all the right strings. Cinninger led a fierce live debut of <em>Similar Skin<\/em>&#8216;s \u201cHindsight\u201d before they acknowledged the state of affairs with \u201cHangover.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The chorus smoothly transitioned in and back out of a dark, heavy jam during \u201cDomino Theory\u201d and they played a beautiful \u201cUtopian Fir.\u201d The New Year&#8217;s theme carried into \u201cResolution\u201d and they closed the set with a conclusion to \u201c1348\u201d which was left open-ended on New Year&#8217;s Eve.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7771.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-63924 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_7771-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_7771\" width=\"414\" height=\"276\" \/><\/a>Tie-doting Joel Cummins (the rest of the band dressed up for New Year&#8217;s <em>Eve<\/em>) made some extra room at his keys early in the second set when Cinninger rounded his way over during a \u201cSociable Jimmy.\u201d While manipulating the neck of his guitar with his left hand, he hammered on the keys with his right, demonstrating his musical mastery. Lighting guru Jefferson Waful shined down steady beams of green, yellow, and red during a cover of Bob Marley&#8217;s \u201cLively Up Yourself\u201d but put on a mesmerizing display during a thick, heavy \u201cPhil&#8217;s Farm.\u201d Between Marley and \u201cPhil&#8217;s,\u201d the band debuted velvety funk tune \u201cFull Frontal.\u201d This sexy odyssey will be great when they stretch it out into some longer jams in the future. Even after a \u201cJaJunk&gt; Don&#8217;t Stop Til You Get Enough&gt; JaJunk\u201d encore sandwich, \u201cFull Frontal&#8221; settled in my mind and led my victory dance onto Luckie St. after night three.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Repeat III: An Acoustic\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Reprieve<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A few folks stopped for a night or two on their way south to Miami or north to Carolina, but a big and boisterous gathering made the five night pilgrimage. A symbiotic relationship formed early between band and crowd and solidified each night. The \u201cJoel\u201d chants became more emphatic and frequent. Faces grew familiar in places. The employees\u2014who were <em>all<\/em> friendly and easy-going\u2014played along with our shenanigans. By Friday night, the Tabby was our second home and we formed a levee of bodies protecting Her from wave after wave of unrelenting rock.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8460.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-63943 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8460-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8460\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe waves did crash a bit gentler on January 2. After UM classics \u201cHiggins\u201d \u201cDer Bluten Kat\u201d and \u201c2&#215;2,\u201d Bayliss and Cinninger busted out acoustic guitars. For the first time all week, people sat down, leaned back, and kicked the feet up. A \u201cNemo&gt;Sweetness&gt;Nemo\u201d sandwich was one of the tastiest of the entire run. Reassuring lyrics, harmonious strumming and astute plucking toasted us slowly like marshmallows. They wrapped up the acoustic portion of the show by debuting Crosby, Stills, and Nash&#8217;s \u201cSouthern Cross\u201d which was especially appreciated by some of the elder Umphreaks.<\/p>\n<p>UM served a \u201cHurt Bird Bath&gt;Upward&gt;Hurt Bird Bath\u201d sandwich to open the second set; the crisp \u201cHBB\u201d crusts contrasted the gooey \u201cUpward\u201d center deliciously.\u00a0\u00a0 Later, former STS9 bassist Dave Murphy relieved Ryan Stasik on bass for Pink Floyd&#8217;s \u201cIn The Flesh\u201d and \u201cAnother Brick In The Wall\u201d that shook the Tabby. If there was any question as to whether Umphrey&#8217;s felt at home, they came out for the encore adorned in white robes and proceeded to melt minds with a short and sweet\u201cGlory\u201d and melt faces with a fat \u201cSlacker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Repeat IV: The Last Rage<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Orange \u201cUmph-love\u201d stickers turned up on sidewalks, MARTA (subway) stations, in restaurants, hotels, and Uber cars across Atlanta all week. The stickers are tangible representations of our love for the band, the Umph-amily, the way of life; there&#8217;s no quicker or more organic\u00a0way to induce a smile than by offering an Umphreak a sticker. It appeared everyone emptied their rolls Saturday night; the neon orange glow seemed brighter our last night at the Tabernacle.<\/p>\n<p>Adorned in his Steelers&#8217; black and yellow, Stasik led the way into a very wappy \u201cWappy Sprayberry.\u201d Unlike his football team, Stasik came to play. He expelled some cheeky bass thwacks during \u201cProfessor Wormbog\u201d and sounded strong during his solo and an overall invigorating \u201cBridgeless\u201d that opened and closed\u00a0the second set.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8550.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-63945 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_8550-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_8550\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nIt took until the final night for Umphrey&#8217;s to say \u201cnice to meet you\u201d with \u201cHajimemashite.\u201d Sweet as that jam was, they followed it up by dropping a big eerie dump on us\u2014\u201cDump City.\u201d We had earlier seen how well \u201cSyncopated Strangers\u201d can interact, gotten a glimpse at \u201cThe Bottom Half,\u201d joined in on an adventurous \u201cMulche&#8217;s Odyssey\u201d and went to town with \u201cPartyin&#8217; Peeps.\u201d The transition from \u201cNo Comment&gt;Bridgeless\u201d brought about a sick lurch in the bottom of the stomach. It sounded so good, but signified the end. Everyone cranked it into high gear for one last 8-minute run at what we love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s the end of the world as we know it,\u201d Bayliss fittingly sang during the encore, \u201cand I feel fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our ephemeral bubble was burst and we were expounded back into the streets of Atlanta, back into the real world. With one swift cover, Umphrey&#8217;s McGee tore down the surreal universe we had constructed together the previous five nights. There were moments of clarity and confusion, creepiness and craftiness. The overall experience was grotesquely ethereal as Umphrey&#8217;s delivered in typical inspired fashion for the atypically long residency.<\/p>\n<p>2015 rocks.
