With a near-sellout crowd packed into The Pageant and an impending snowmaggeddon looming for the upcoming weekend, it felt like everyone in St. Louis had the same idea: get the hell out of the house, hit the town for the night, and squeeze in one more big night before winter shut things down this weekend.
The Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw hosted Umphrey’s McGee on Friday night, for the second stop of their Cruising Altitude Tour. They brought three hours of pure bliss streaming through my ears.
