Umphrey's McGee Buffalo Rocks The Harbor
BUFFALO, NY – An amazing show last Friday night at the Erie Harbor Marina. MMW kicked off the Buffalo Place Rocks The Harbor concert series at 6pm with a funked out improvisational jazz set.
Umphrey’s McGee took the stage at 8:45 and played one long tight set with some of my favorite jams including Miss Tinkle’s Overture and a 15 minute Mantis off their new LP.
Umphrey’s McGee continues their tour in support of their critically acclaimed album Mantis. Every time we’ve seen these guys they captivate us with their technical change ups, improvs, and dueling guitars. No other band out there possesses the amount of skill, timing, and genius songwriting as our favorite band from Chicago. They continue to blow audiences away no matter how many times you’ve seen them with a masterfully unique show every night.

This was my first time down at the concert venue at the Erie Canal Harbor. It’s a great space with an amazing boardwalk and view on the water. The venue is very family friendly and there is plenty of grass for blankets and chairs.
The only complaint I have is the lack of natural amphitheater. The area is mostly flat and the stage seems to be at the high end of the pitch. There isn’t much of a view anywhere behind the soundboard as there are two obtrusive soundboard tents. We’re told there ere plans to change the layout as development of the area continue’s.
