A Short Film From Umphrey's McGee: The Tabernacle
Some
nights are just magical.
On
February 6, 2010 Umphrey's McGee took the stage at The Tabernacle in Atlanta,
GA for a now legendary performance in front of a rabid sold out crowd.
The energy in the historic room was so contagious that it created a
palpable band-audience synergy, propelling the music to incredible heights.
Luckily, the band's HD video camera captured the show from the soundboard
and now you can experience The Tabernacle, a short film
directed by the band's lighting designer, Jefferson Waful, who has worked in
television, radio, and print media for more than 20 years. The 3-part
documentary takes fans behind-the-scenes, in the dressing room and on stage
during the night. Also included are musical highlights, in-depth
interviews with the band and crew, and humorous outtakes that truly capture the
band's collective personality.
"It was
one of the most magical and most energetic rooms and crowds that I've ever been
a part of," says bassist Ryan Stasik. "I could feel and hear the
crowd and when that happens, I can't really describe how that is, but it's the
most amazing thing in the world."
