DESCRIPTION: Umphrey's took advantage of Adrian Belew's presence to tackle 2 King Crimson classics in Red and Thela Hun Ginjeet. The "Jimmy Stewart" out of Intentions Clear finds the band's improvisation in fine form. (iTunes)

DESCRIPTION: The newly opened up The Crooked One has expanded into a setlist weapon in 2007. Alex's House originated from a Brendan Bayliss demo that would eventually become part of The Bottom Half. A dark jam in the middle of Phil's Farm offers another of Umphrey's many influences with an appearance of Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls. (umphreys.com)

DESCRIPTION: With the 2-disc Live at the Murat due in stores this coming Tuesday October 16, Brendan, Joel, Kevin Browning and special guest Andy Farag stop by to talk about the new album, making mistakes, and midgets on unicycles. A cover of Billy Joel's The Stranger fades into an All in Time that explores rare territory. Born Under a Bad Sign made it's first full appearance in several years in the middle of The Bottom Half. The Joel Cummins penned Kimble dates back to the first Umphrey's show. (umphreys.com)

DESCRIPTION: A rare Last Man Serving makes its debut podcast appearance and features a brief take on Voodoo Child, with Jake at the lead. The Murat Hurt Bird Bath may not have made the album, but a mixed version can now be heard by all thanks to KB. The patient improv out of Example 1 makes a slow build before splashing into Syncopated Strangers. Ringo has had a resurgence in 2007 as a springboard for experimentation. (umphreys.com)
