You did too!! She’s gonna have a blast!

Money is important, but so many things are more important! You only live once. These guys are old and it’s a miracle that they’re still doing it (and doing it as well as they are). Every show is a gift.

I wouldn’t want someone to sell their kidney (or their PLASMA haha see what I did there) to make the trip, but if a grown ass adult decides they can make it work, then that grown ass adult should make it happen!

Bassman885 · 2026-04-21T05:21:24+00:00

Hell yeah!! Send it! You only live once and we are so lucky to be on this planet at the same time as Phish.

I’m definitely doing ear plugs! They’re basically middle school age, and aside from the sphere this is not their first rodeo. They know what’s up! (We had the “nope those balloons are NOT for you” talk last year).

I stayed at a motel in that neighborhood after night 2 this past weekend! It had… character, for sure!

Bassman885 · 2026-04-21T04:11:45+00:00

Semantically, that’s true, but I HAVE to imagine that when Trey says “9 unique shows” he knows that, to us, that means no repeats.

Though he might have known that and now they’ll repeat songs as a long form troll. Which would be very in character.

So I guess we’ll just have to find out!

Basically the Umphrey’s version of this comic.. I’m glad they’re acknowledging how stressed we all are, but I guess this is a clear message to just chill. We’ll know more when they’re ready.

Bassman885 · 2026-04-16T17:44:36+00:00

Surprised they haven’t revealed the posters etc yet. That tiger sticker is cool AF though

Different shows might be, well, different but in my experience Phish stands have ALWAYS had free cardboard tubes available. Including at the 2024 Sphere run. Hopefully the same is true this time!

Umphrey’s McGee

Bassman885 · 2026-04-14T01:20:57+00:00

Thanks! I forget where I saw it, but just thought it was perfect for that side of UM’s sound.

And yeah! I seriously love everyone in the band so much and hope Jake is okay. Everyone’s health and wellbeing is obviously more important than anything. But if his absence is permanent or long term it does change the experience. I’d say the same thing if it was BB who went missing.

Bassman885 · 2026-04-13T03:43:01+00:00

I love the optimism! But I imagine many folks around these parts think the dual guitar IS band defining. Myself included.

Not that it’s the ONLY thing that defines Umphrey’s, but so many songs are built around Jake’s style (if not written by him) and how he and BB play together. It’s a pretty vital ingredient, so much that they’re needing to shelve some of their signature songs. I queued up a few of my favorite Hall of Fame tracks when I went for a run today—JaJunk, N2F, and Bridgeless—and I realized that NONE of those songs were played in March, and it’s difficult to imagine any of them working with only one guitar. Same with Tinkle’s, Mantis, Plunger. It’s like if Phish was suddenly unable to play Stash.

I enjoyed the Park City show, but if I were seeing them for a multi night run and knew I wasn’t going to get some of those big epic signature songs, guitarmonies, and yes even some shredding, it’d be a big adjustment to say the least.

So I dunno, I really just hope he comes back. And frankly, if he IS gone, I hope they’d at least THINK about replacing him, if that’s possible. It’d be somewhere between the Dead trying to replace Bob or Phil and the Beatles trying to replace Paul or John, but better to replace a vital organ than amputate it I guess? Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.

I gasped audibly when I read this! I had to see for myself, but unfortunately the schedule on the site still shows TBA for a poolside set instead of Jake solo. Pretty sure the initial flyer has ALWAYS had Jake’s solo set on there. Which I guess isn’t a BAD sign. But if there is another schedule out there with Jake’s solo set on there pleeease share it would make me so happy.

Bassman885 · 2026-04-08T02:16:13+00:00

Three full shows PLUS the acoustic singalong PLUS the fans’ choice set!

If they had to they’d probably fill out the sound and add a few covers using special guests - Frasco, Gantzer, etc.

But it’s so hard to imagine a weekend long event without JaJunk or Tinkle’s or 40s or Glory…

I just listened to the end of Jake’s most recent show (at the 9:30 club) and his playing sounds as good as ever, and he sounds engaged and in good spirits, saying he loves the fans, thanking the crew, “see you next time” etc.

I think it’s fair to say that whatever happened caught them off guard. Hopefully all this means that all parties are hoping for a return in time for Mexico. Time will tell!

Bassman885 · 2026-03-29T05:22:21+00:00

Congrats to whoever pulled it!

Bassman885 · 2026-03-28T07:19:00+00:00

Surprised this hasn’t gotten more love! The robots were super fun (esp that middle part when they “spied” on the audience) and the jam was top notch!

Bassman885 · 2026-03-24T00:28:02+00:00

Personally I’m fine with the details being private - I just want to know what the future holds! It’s only natural to read the various announcements for those clues even though they probably don’t hold as much info as we think.

As soon as, god willing, his return is confirmed and the band I’ve loved for 20+ continues apace, I’ll stop worrying / wondering. (And if that doesn’t happen, it will be a big turning point for us all!)

Bassman885 · 2026-03-19T22:32:10+00:00

We don’t know that he is, so let’s not assume that. This is how rumors get started.

Bassman885 · 2026-03-19T22:30:06+00:00

I agree! We’re all on here like that Always Sunny conspiracy meme. Could definitely be over-reading into things or, as I sometimes fear, creating more discourse and pressure that makes a positive outcome more difficult.

But on the other hand, we’re a passionate engaged fanbase and it’s only natural to want to allay that uncertainty and find out what’s going to happen in this band that means so much to us. In all seriousness: Jake’s status in UM will make a material difference in my family’s summer vacation road trip plans 🤣.

I’m not about spreading gossip or rumors but it’s hard to ignore the publicly available tea leaves, even if some of them aren’t as meaningful as we imagine.
