[TOMT][Music] - Musical Allusion in Umphrey's McGee cover of 25 or 6 to 4
Umphrey's drives me crazy and constantly inserts quick little musical allusions in their live shows. I was at this particular show and I've been trying to figure it out for days.
You can hear the song on the embedded player at this site: http://www.archive.org/details/um2011-12-31.flac16
The riff I'm talking about happens at 2:44 into the song.

That riff is the hook of "25 or 6 to 4" but played a little differently. The time signature is different and the last note is taken up.
Damn I think you might be right, I can hear that now. But when I first heard it, it was sooooo familiar, like it was something from an 80s rock song.
