UM debuted two originals during Q3. One featured Bayliss playing keys without any accompaniment on a new, untitled original he claimed he finished the night before and bassist Ryan Stasik joining the guitarists for an instrumental that is also yet to be named. Other Q3 “special teams” were each member playing an instrument they don’t usually play for FF, a full-band Big Bottom featuring four bassists and a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Going to California performed by Cinninger and Bayliss.
[Video playlist includes Glory, In The Kitchen (Spanish), “Daft Punk-esque’ jam, “Waful Meets Disco Ball,” Untitled Bayliss song, Going to California, Big Bottom, Another Brick In The Wall/Thriller]
A few weeks before UMBowl attendees were given a ballot to select songs for the band to perform during the “All Request Quarter.” Apparently fans went the song sandwich route for Q4 with Divisions > Glory > Divisions and Blue Echo > 1348 > Blue Echo > 1348 among the selections making the cut. Umphrey’s also debuted a cover of Tom Sawyer by Rush, dusted off their take on Walter Murphy’s A Fifth of Beethoven and unveiled a bluegrass version of Nothing Too Fancy during the fourth and final set. The group’s mash-up of Thriller and Another Brick In The Wall ended the show as the lone encore.
