Yesterday we offered a photo gallery from the third-annual Wanee Festival in Florida. Today we continue with shit that shoulda been posted two weeks ago…

Umphrey’s McGee rocked a sold-out crowd at the Nokia Theatre in New York City on April 13th. Things have been heating up for the boys from Chicago, selling out most of the shows they’ve played this year. The Nokia seemed much more crowded than usual, signaling perhaps the need for a bigger space the next time Umphrey’s comes around. Oh well…you can’t stop progress, and this band is clearly progressing in every aspect of its game.

UM came out spittin’ fire, jamming out versions of JaJunk and In The Kitchen. For each of the songs, Umphrey’s raced through the tune before establishing a new chord progression and tearing it a new asshole. Guitarists Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss switched to acoustics in the middle of the JaJunk jam for a change of pace before segueing into In The Kitchen. The guys abandoned Kitchen midway through the song and once again tore off on an extended Jazz Odyssey.

Fresh off its annual 67-night run at the Beacon Theater in New York, the Allman Brothers Band set up camp two weekends ago at the Spirit of The Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida for the band’s third annual Wanee Festival.

Joined by a laundry list of talented bands, the Allmans played sets each night of the festival, and Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes and Oteil Burbridge all played with their own outfits on the side. Having just been down in Florida for Langerado, neither Scotty nor I ventured down to the less-Jewish part of the state for the festivities. Nevertheless, our photographer George Weiss was on the scene, and he came back with the following awesome shots for all’a youse.

Since it’s billed as a family-type festival, who else would show up but Robert Randolph & the Family Band? He looks like he’s certainly feeling it:
