Halloween Setlists: Umphrey’s / Gov’t Mule / Greensky

Three of our favorite bands celebrated Halloween in their own ways last night. As we wipe the cobwebs from our eyes, we wanted to start the day by sharing the basics on each performance.

Umphrey’s McGee:

Umphrey’s celebrated Halloween at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, Maryland where the second set was an “All Night Wrong” affair in which fans voted on which covers the band would play. After a first set of originals, the second set started with the dream sequence of the Grateful Dead’s Help On The Way > Slipknot! > the Allman Brothers Band’s Jessica. Both Girlfriend Is Better (Talking Heads) and Fool In The Rain (Led Zeppelin) contained hearty jams before leading into a bit of the the theme to Halloween (the movie). Kris Myers handled vocals for covers of Forty Six and 2 by Tool and Yes’s Roundabout before UM debuted their take on Money For Nothing by Dire Straits. The sextet finished the set with their classic Another Brick In The Wall/Thriller mashup and kept the fan-voted antics going into the encore by performing Ophelia by The Band.

Notes:
The band played with masks (“The Mostly Dead Ex Presidents, A Vice President, and a First Lady”): Brendan was Bill Clinton, Jake was Ronald Reagan, Joel was Dick Cheney, Kris was Richard Nixon, Andy was Barack Obama, and Ryan was Hillary Clinton. The second set was an All Night Wrong performance, comprised entirely of fan voted cover songs. With Jessica tease before Girlfriend Is Better.

  1. I was at the Greensky show… the setlist is missing a song in the first set, between I Ran and Free Fallin – they covered the Legend of Zelda theme, which became a jam that included heavy teases of “Give Up the Funk,” “Smooth Criminal,” and “West LA Fadeaway” before seguing into Free Fallin.
