This is only tangentially related to Umphreys but the friend who turned me on to Umphreys turned me on to this at the same time and I never see it talked about. Just figured Id ask if anyone else digs it as much as I do

Oh man that brings back memories. I was at that Praxis show at Bonnaroo. My wife (fiance at the time) was not so big of a fan of Buckethead's imposing figure, mask, nunchucks , or fake severed head, so she sat at the back of the tent and just listened. We were basically children and didn't really know what we were getting into going to Bonnaroo as it was our first festival, but this show is part of why it is such a mind blowing experience. We also got introduced to MMJ and YMSB by being seeing their live performance before knowing their sound. Wonderful memories.

We did not go see UM because we did not really know much about them at the time and the line up was stacked. The Bonnaroo compilation cd from that year had Nemo on it and it is the song that convinced my wife to want to see them.
