Umphrey’s McGee – Baba O’Riley (Live at Super Bowl Village, Indianapolis)
February 9, 2012 2 comments
According to Forbes, the real winner of the Super Bowl this year was Indianapolis. Fortunately (and unfortunately at times) I was around the downtown area most of the week and it was one big zoo. Saw a few shows, ran into some pro athletes (Jerome Bettis tapped me on the shoulder at a nightclub, no joke) and overall had a great time, but the real winner in my eyes was the free show UMPH put on the night before the Super Bowl. They brought the energy and even people who were waiting for O.A.R (yeah, them) were vibing out.
One thing this six-piece band is known for is their ability to create resounding covers and go their way with it. They surely had the crowd jumping for “Teenage Wasteland” (the song name according to some frat dudes next to me) and it was clear they made some new fans that night. Check it below, and hit that widget to download the whole show FO FREE! It’s a great one if you’ve never listened to them and want some good introductory songs.

Gonna be that blogger and slip in this instrumental they played that night, only because it is a beautiful piece of art.
