Despite their all but forgotten start as a nu metal band, Sugar Ray morphed into this pop phenom in the late 1990's with their mega-hit "Fly". They went on to score a handful of other hits into the 2000's, when it was virtually impossible to turn on the radio without hearing one (or more) of them. With less success on their more recent albums, Mark McGrath teamed up with similar bands to create successful 90's nostalgia tours (first "Summerland", then "Under The Sun"). 
This recording captures the third show from night two of their tenth year playing the International Food and Wine Festival at Disney's Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (Epcot). This was forty minutes of absolute fun for all, including the band. I lost count of the times McGrath was in and out of the audience, pausing for selfies with countless fans. As if Sugar Ray didn't ooze enough 90's sentimentality, they decided to throw in a cover of Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping" for good measure. Although officially fall, this was a hot Florida evening spent with family enjoying a trip down memory lane.1. Words To Me
