The city of DeKalb and students of NIU have welcomed us for many years,
and after hearing the news of the tragedy on February 14th, we decided
to give back and do whatever we could to help express how much the
community has meant to us. On April 8th, we donated all of our UM Live
sales to the NIU February 14th Memorial Fund as well as proceeds from
poster and ticket sales. In that spirit of giving back, we are providing
for all of our fans an opportunity to download the UM Live recording of
our return performance to DeKalb for free.
We encourage all Umphrey's fans interested in donating to this worthy cause to visit:

Subject: What a gift.

Thanks to UM for allowing this.

These KB matrixes are always so consistently amazing. Kevin has it down to a science. Other Jam bands cannot PRODUCE a live recording that compares to what Kevin is capable of mixing/recording LIVE.

KB+BB=eternal duo

Subject: Well above average

I've seen it all, we've got "jam snobs" here eh?
I'm sure the critics must have way better bands, but we just have never heard of them . Whatever!
Pull your heads out and smell the spring air.
Miserable jerks.

I thought the setlist was wrong but it turns out I had my player on shuffle. By the time I figured that out I was already so transfixed by the recording and the music I couldn't be bothered to get up and change it, so I listened to it for five hours. Worked just fine.

great show, thanks to umphrey's for giving it to us and for their fantastic music. i saw them in london and they where great. reguarding the last review, surley if you think it is average then two to three stars would be more appropiate. i think 5 will do for me

Incredible Show. They really played with purpose and passion. Great gesture on their part as well in the wake of such a devastating tragedy. Jake is a savage beast on that geetar. Long live the Umph. Need I say incredible matrix recording =).

I was in St. Louis three nights before, and they've been on a roll ALL April...I've only listened to the Push the Pig -> JAM >Atmosfarag, but I've read reviews of this show before...Apparently there were no tapers, so this is HUGE!!! Thank You Management, Band, Crew, and especially the sound caresser himself, Kevin Browning who makes every show sound incredible... See you all in Memphis...

Subject: UM...I don't know

Good show, but faces melting everywhere?... pretty hard to do at an UM show....they are too up and down for my face to EVER melt!

Reviewer: gratephulbrad - - April 14, 2008
Subject: Phanominal Show

By far top 10 of all the UM shows I've seen. w/ Whiskey soaked pants, cold rain on my back. Umphreys definetly took me back a few years w/ this old school setlist. Thanks fellas, cant wait for the canopy show.

Reviewer: yonderstring - - April 14, 2008
Subject: Sweet. Thanks Umph.. BUUUT

That is not a Dr.dre XXplosive tease... It is a Dr.dre - Still D.R.E. tease.. thought I would throw that in there, other than that umph is the shhit cant wait to see them again .. 25 last year.

Reviewer: moe.DeadStringPhishplease - - April 14, 2008
Subject: I love this scene

Once again a band gives back to a commuinty that has supported it for a long time. The offering of this quality show, the donation of their proceeds, and their kind words is simply the most amazing thing a band could do. Thank you UM for offering this show, it means a lot and says a lot about all of you.

Reviewer: Taperian - - April 14, 2008
Subject: Gracias

Crunchy. Thanks again UM, you are the best band out there, big ups.

Reviewer: 17ab420 - - April 14, 2008
Subject: WOW!

This show was sooo worth the six hour drive. This show was sooo worth the 15 block walk in a freezing downpour (DeKalb does'nt have a cab service!). I walked into the Egyptian trippin' and drippin'! My 11th Umphrey's show since 07/19/07 and the best to date so far. I'm sure the clean-up crew had to break out the mops and squeegees because there were faces melted everywhere!
