Fantastic write up. I really enjoyed the show that night, the band was definitely firing on all cylinders. Now if they could only have songs that were a bit more melodic.

Nice UM review. I love these guys alot. Sometimes I get tired of their poppy vocals, but then they start playing some intense, crazy jam, and I love them all over again.

I would suggest the Austin, TX show to everybody. It was from 10/6/07 I believe. I was there and it blew my mind.

Great review, Scotty…that summed up a helluva night of music perfectly. I’d have much rather seen Al and Rob sit in than Matisyahu, but then that wouldn’t have led the kid next to me at the time to freak the fuck out when Matis came on. First he went nuts, then he asked me, “Who is that on stage?” When I said “Matisyahu,” he freaked out once more and then said “He’s on my label…he’s on my record label” and bounced away, never to be seen again. Those kinds of strange interactions are what live music is all about.

Also, I second the kudos bar on Metzger sit-in…that was some quality, quality stuff right there.

so al. and rob. were there just as spectators?

matisyahu on stage instead of 1/3 of moe.?

btw - caught UM two nights before in binghamton, ny and despite recently turning into some jamband diva (thinking I can critique bands for whatever reason), I was floored by what I heard that night. Very, Very impressed. I betcha this show is no exception either.

If you hate on UM nowadays, youz better be able to defend why.

thanks for the recommendation bernstein.
