When you put together a list of venues where Umphrey’s McGee always delivers, you’d have to start with Higher Ground just outside of Burlington, VT. The Chicago-based sextet finished a three-night stand at the rock club on Saturday night that will go down among the best in their history. Whether they were kicking out a spirited dose of improvisation, welcoming one of their friends to the stage for a sit-in or dusting off a rarity, everything Umphrey’s touched over the six sets at Higher Ground turned to gold.

As we mentioned last week, Thursday night started off with the first songlist show in years to fill a fan request. On Friday, the band shared the stage with a member of Phish for the first time when Mike Gordon took over bass duties from birthday boy Ryan Stasik for In The Kitchen.
Guest spots are always a crap shoot that have just as much chance of trainwrecking as of working out well. The Mike sit-in worked really well as Cactus came up with some inventive bass lines that kept the jam interesting throughout its 16 minutes. Other Friday highlights were a groovy Pay The Snucka opener and adventurous versions of Hangover and Higgins.
