WILMINGTON — The Indiana jam band was welcomed to Wilmington with spring showers during its two-night stint in the Port City over the weekend.
Within 20 minutes of the show’s start, Greenfield Lake Amphitheater had to be evacuated on April 13. Almost an hour later, fans were welcomed back as Umphrey’s McGee — comprising Brendan Bayliss, Joel Cummins, Ryan Stasik, Andy Farag, Jake Cinninger and Kris Myers — played a truncated set before lightning and thunder cut the evening short.
The band jammed on “Ringo,” “Space Funk Booty,” and “In the Flesh” into Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall,” followed by “40’s Theme” and “Fenced In” before having to stop.
Undeterred, fans returned during night two to cold, wet and soggy elements.
“The rain wasn’t too bad during the first set,” photographer Tom Dorgan of MoonFrog Media told Port City Daily. “As set two got started, so did the rain.”
The band played through a dozen tracks including a cover of David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance.”
Below is night two’s setlist and photos captured from both nights:
Set 1
Hourglass > Phil’s Farm, Half Delayed, It’s Not Your Fault > August, Bad Poker, Remind Me
Set 2
1348 > The Fussy Dutchman, Booth Love, Hurt Bird Bath, Higgins, Let’s Dance
