When you play “Death by Stereo,” the September release by Umphrey’s McGee, prepare to feel like the wind-blown guy in the Maxell tape commercials. Yes, the power of this album by the prog-rock band is wicked enough to give you that experience — figuratively anyway — and you’ll love it. The only question is how the band will top it on the road.

“I think a big thing we try to do live is mix up what we play. We have such a backlog to choose from, it’s always fun and interesting for fans and for us,” said founding member and keyboardist Joel Cummins. “Some of these tracks, we have played live before [but not recorded]. Some we haven’t … but they’re really fun, up-tempo tunes.”
