edger Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I'm still debating whether to grab an Umphrey's ticket or not... I'm leaning towards yes...Is there a specific reason (or set of reasons) you're still debating?Aloha' date='Brad[/quote']Mostly the inevitable debate over whether I truly have the funds, time and energy to spare... However, I have never seen UM before, and am definitely intrigued... even if it is a Tuesday night.I had been seriously considering the LUcinda show as well, but didn't get a ticket early on, and don't really feel like paying a hefty price for a shitty seat (if there's even any left... which I kind of doubt)... The price for UM seems reasonable... and actually aside from the cavity search on the way in, I quite like the Opera House...But yes, if you can offer any comments on Umphrey's and why I should not miss this show, I'd be happy to hear them!

bradm Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think UM is putting on a really good shows these days; they seem to be hitting on all cylinders. As far as I know, this will be their first show (aside from the "Big Summer Classic" thing a couple of years ago) in Toronto, so I'm hoping they might bust out some special stuff, and give us one to remember. Even if they don't, a UM show is special in and of itself. If you like their music, you know what they can do live.I think it's also a good idea to show support for bands that are willing to come and play cities off their usual tour route(s). If you've ever said, "Man, I'd like to see [this band or that band], but they never come and play Toronto!", well, here's a band that is coming and playing Toronto. I'm hopeful that if they get a decent turnout, Toronto (and then maybe Ottawa, or Montreal) will become a regular stop for them.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
