Setlist / Video: Umphrey's McGee @ Ravinia Festival, Highland Park, IL 7/25/14

Umphrey's McGee played their first ever show at the long-standing "wine-and-cheese" venue Ravinia Festival in Highland Park last night.  The set featured an acoustic interlude, including a lengthy "In The Kitchen", a cover of Toto's "Africa" and the closing of both the second set and the encore with a string quartet sit-in.

Here's the full setlist via allthings.umphreys.com, followed by some nice video of the acoustic portion and "Africa".  We'll update as more media emerges.
