Prost Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 I just read this on Myspace..... Fans and Friends of Umphrey's, Jake’s blue three-ring binder containing all of his lyrics, music, and shorthand notations was stolen from the stage last night during the State Theater show in St. Peteresburg, FL (2/22/07). This book is IRREPLACEABLE and we need it back. All the band wants is the book returned, NO questions asked! If you, or anyone you know has any information please contact scarlet@umphreys.com. Thank you. Umphrey's McGee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elemeno Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Umphrey's is nothing without that binder. I guess they will have to cancel their current tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 They could just ask to use Phish's old binder. It's pretty much the same binder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 if anything, the UM crowd is probably connected enough that there's a at least slim chance he'll get it back. Nobody loves vengeance more than hippies.or if he waits a few days he can just read his book on the internet, no doubt. in fact, then it can never get lost again!poor guy, that really must suck.

YearsAlongTheSea Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Shitty deal, hippie musicians need to start using laptops; and back-up drives....Don't they have an annotated fan page? Ya know? Setlists, discography, lyrics, etc...? This could be a good time to get the ball rolling on that.Meh, probably not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartamophone Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Shitty deal, hippie musicians need to start using laptops; and back-up drives....True, although you wouldn't think something would be stolen from the stage while the band was playing. Ballsy thief, to say the least. JSB had an iPod stolen - and subsequently returned - from the stage while they were playing last year, and this isn't the first time this particular binder has been swiped (from what I gather). Hopefully this'll be another happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Maybe somebody just "borrowed" it for photocopying, and will return it discretely. There are probably some real gems in there.Maybe their secret plan is to nail all those tunes and steal all the gigs out from Umphrey's feet.

lara Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Not the first time stuff has been stolen from the Umphrey's stage. I wonder where the binder was that it was accessible... You'd think it would be kept under lock and key.I hope they get it back. I suspect they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
