Customer Reviews
Excellent live UM 
Live at Murat is excellent. UM all is about the live experience & these discs capture it well. If you're a fan you either already have it, or won't get it b/c you have all the downloads. I have all the downloads & I still bought this. I am happy w/ the purchase.
If you're not yet a fan, UM is difficult to describe...rock, jazz, blues, fusion, prog rock, modern rock, post-modern rock, jam band...to scratch the surface. Do not expect much like Phish or Widespread Panic. UM is less singer-songwriter oriented, less arena rock-y, less classic rock-y than them. I think UM has more depth & breadth. I also think there is no UM w/out Phish & WS. Murat is an accurate snapshot of UM's style, virtuosity, & variety. If you like some/all of Murat, you'll find more in their catalog that appeals to you. If you don't like any of it, move along. This set is a good start for newbies.
I gave it 4/5 stars, b/c I have all their downloads. After having 50+ hours of their music, & hearing these 2 discs...some small part of me can't help but say, "Yeah, that's good but..."
Great selection of songs
Another great release by UM. Their live shows are why they are, who they are...and this captures alot of what you can expect to experience when you go see them live. Anchor Drops and Local Band Does OK are 2 other amazing CDs. Hell...you really need to get both their live DVDs if you wanna have some fun! But see this band and often, and you'll be glad.

Umphrey's Mcgee is better than Phish!!
I said it. Most U.M. fans don't like to admit it, but Phish and U.M. are very similar bands musically. Below is how the 2 bands measure up, instrument to instrument.
Guitar-Umphrey's wins due to the dual guitar attack
Bass- Phish wins because Gordon is unstoppable
Keyboards-Phish wins just barely
Drums-Umphrey's drummer is absolutely amazing!
Bottom line:U.M. wins by a very slim margin
