StoneMtn Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Did they announce in advance which song they're playing? (This is some good news for the jam-scene. It's not Letterman or Leno, but it's still mainstream media taking an interest. Good for Umph!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 According tohttp://www.jambase.com/headsup.asp?storyID=8518Huey Lewis will be joining them, and they'll be doing two (unspecified) songs.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 ...although they are playing 'Women, Wine and Song' with Huey Lewis, it still might be neat to see.I like this song better than most live Umphs I've heard. Am I a bastard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I like this song better than most live Umphs I've heard. Am I a bastard? Yes you are. a beautiful bastard. I guess it's a fine song, I just find it VERY reminicent of a Little Feat tune, and some of the lyrics make me feel like I'm shopping for funky clothes at K-Mart. I also prefer the Brendan tunes. But each to their own, eh!?! you delicious hair covered slab of man-pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwa. Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 That song is soooo not my favourite, kinda like heavy things getting played on letterman.one big meh from me too for that one.(first and only (painful) time i agree with dima the living opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 That seemed like a wasted opportunity. No guitar shredding? The only featured soloist being Huey Lewis? Ah well, it's a start.Oh, and Huey was not looking so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I kinda figured that would be the reaction. I like me a good 4 minute pop song. Umph's wrote one - good on 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Aw, I just felt like you were devaluating my opinion because I didn't appreciate the poppiness of it all. I like pop music, I really do. I just think that's the one of the most unrepresentative Umphrey's song in their cannon and the performance felt more like a Lewis showcase. And I'm a crank.

MarcO Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 fair enough. I'm a crank too. I wasn't accusing you or anyone of not digging pop music, I just instinctively knew this song would be to an Umph's fan what Heavy Things or The Connection was to a Phish fan, and you put it best: unrepresentative. I tried sampling a couple UM shows from the archive. Wasn't for me. Don't want to put them down or devalue someone else's take on them, they just didn't grab me at all. Talented as all hell though. I wish them much success, they're workin' it, doin' it.Anyway WMVY, an FM station from Massachusettes I listen to every day, started playing that tune a month or so ago. I loved it upon first listen. Only later did I find out who it was.Sounds like a windows-open, crusin- down the highway Summertime song to me. Feels good.Anyway, I didn't see the performance with Huey Lewis.

gentlemonkey Posted May 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yeah, Huey's got some seriously dangly eye-bags happening.. but hes still cool in my books. I enjoyed the rendition, but I would've preferred a full version of 'nemo', which they started into at the end of the show.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 If you missed this -- just noticed that it's already scheduled to repeat tonight.I think Kimmel has a tough time getting guests that he isn't related to and that don't appear on Desperate Housewives.
