We hold these truths to be self evident, that all improvisations are not created equal…
For the first time in Umphrey’s McGee history, the people AND the band have made their collective voices heard to bring you the best of the best of 2016. The wait is over,

Every passing year, Umphrey's McGee releases a "Hall of Fame" album, chock full of tasty improvisations, particularly notable performances, and unique combinations of songs you may have never known about in their massive tour schedule and library. And every year, I think this amazing band has hit their peak, ... but luckily, they're as good at proving me wrong as they are at rocking the heck out of the stage! They continue to adapt, grow and please crowds all over the country time and time again! Umphrey's McGee have easily become my favorite touring band; as they are *such* a joy to see and hear-- between their amazing light shows, dedication to high quality sound and musicianship, constant and consistently improvised songs, and their amazing energy; it's hard not to like them. While you can listen to this album on Spotify in its entirety, I've gone and bought it in lossless format anyway-- as it's a must have for my collection! So if you're a fan, I'd say GET THIS ALBUM IMMEDIATELY. You won't regret it-- it's over FOUR HOURS long! You just can't beat that!
