Note:
Two CDs hold enough music to fit this entire show, but I opt to burn this to three discs, dividing the second set after the second part of Nemo, to maintain continuity in the second set. Do as you please.

Never sell or pay for live recordings.

Be well, support taper-friendly bands.

Subject: Other 2 nights coming soon...

The other 2 nights will be up soon. Thanks for your patience.

Reviewer: wavery - - February 14, 2008
Subject: Stick to the recording

A lot of 'reviews' here are crying about security at the show...really not helpful at all in deciding whether to check out the show on Archive or not. While I appreciate a good or bad time at the show for reasons other than the music, it's completely irrelevant to the recording itself. And that's why we're here, right?

Subject: Nice

Padgett's Profile is similar to the jam played on this amazing night:

I highly recommend you check out the above show if you haven't before.

Long live UM!

Subject: Security Smurity

I've seen the same security people at the Aragon, the Riv and the Vic so it's not just Aragon's security it's the securty company they hire that sucks balls and actually does their job....

but they can't stop the music... the show was amazing and as an 1 yr aniversary of the first time I saw Umphrey's I must say it was amazing..... the sound in the Aragon isn't the best....

Is there any way to get the NYE show up here

Subject: the man sux

the show i will agree was amazing however the security basically let nothing slide as they had the past 2 new years at the Aragon but

Reviewer: kablaam116 - - January 17, 2008
Subject: full version of nemo?

The song "nemo" was dedicated to my good friend Kevin Conway who passed away about 2 months ago and I was wondering if there's any chance you still have the recording of Umphreys dedicating it. If you do that would be amazing if you would put it up here, it would mean so much to me and anyone else who knew him.

Subject: Rocker II

I could of swore i heard them call the song rocker II.

is my hearing bad or what?

Reviewer: Donny Grieco - - January 10, 2008
Subject: Kula rules

My god this is the best new song I heard since Bridgeless. I expect them to play the hell out of it in 08. The rest of the show is stellar except the Simply Red cover. Lay off the 80's crap guys.

Reviewer: novivo - - January 10, 2008
Subject: great concert

I was at the concert and have to say that every Umphrey's concert I go to is better than the last.

I do have a question though-- does anybody have tape of the Wailers Band opening for Umphrey's that night?

Reviewer: barefoot768 - - January 6, 2008
Subject: Show

it was a great show...a little bit scared going into the all ages shows ive been a bit let down when with the all ages crowd, but they did not let me down this year. even a bad umphrey's show is a good show. but as to the never sell and never pay i will always pay if i need to its umlive they are nice enough to make it easily downloadable so if i really cant find a show ill pay....

Reviewer: bigwho75 - - January 6, 2008
Subject: NYE in chicago

having a tough time downloading this it seems songs 4-8 arent working that well is there any other copy's of this and all of the NYE 07 shows?

Reviewer: kellersci - - January 6, 2008
Subject: umazing

It was a great show the setlist could been a bit better, but they rocked the aragon so hard, it was crazy. The security was fuckin insane! they busted like everyone it seemed. but in all, it was amazing. And plus they dedicated Nemo to one of my very good friends who passed away in november, it was really cool of them. RIP KDC

Notes

Thanks to UM, KB and everyone else for a great show!
