Following some gigs in the Northeast and the Deep South, Umphrey’s McGee returned to their initial Midwest proving grounds for four back-to-back shows in mid-August. The band traveled from Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Aug. 12 to Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater on Aug. 13, Minneapolis’ fabled First Avenue on Aug. 14 and, finally, Des Moines, Iowa’s Lauridsen Amphitheater at Water Works Park on August 15. Below, Umphrey’s McGee and their crew track a period of time where they are packing in as many gigs as they can after so many months of pandemic-related postponements.
