(PR) Umphrey�s Mcgee Kicks Out The Jams With First Official Live Album, Live At The Murat, In Stores October 16th. Um Celebrates Release With More Touring This Fall, Including Appearances At Vegoose, Caribbean Holidaze, And Jam In The �Dam.

Their first official live release, is as impressive as anything they�ve recorded to date, with the power and finesse, the yin and the yang, that have come to characterize their by-now classic material.

Recorded in Indianapolis in April 2007 and produced by longtime �sound caresser� / honorary seventh member Kevin Browning, the two-disc set features fan favorites like �Push the Pig,� �The Triple Wide,� �In the Kitchen,� and �Nothing Too Fancy� along with rare tunes like the set-ending �Padgett�s Profile� and the brief but torrid �Angular Momentum,� centered on the combo of drummer Kris Myers and guitarist Jake Cinninger.

The band also dusts off tunes like �Hajimemas***e� from �98s Songs for Older Women, and the Yes meets Little Feat-influenced �40�s Theme,� a live favorite for the band and its fans. Throughout the show, UM�s invention brings the progressive instrumental chops of Zappa and the stylistic savvy of Steely Dan.
