Umphrey’s McGee brought their Wax On, Wax Off Tour to Cleveland on Saturday night for a show at the Masonic Auditorium, and the band gave their fans a treat with a finale cover of Paul Simon that UM hadn’t played live in years.

After a two-set performance that featured some new tunes from the multiple albums Umphrey’s released last year, plus some older staples like “Attachments” and “All In Time,” the band returned to the stage for an encore that began with them jamming out “Drums” before leading into Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” the first time UM had played the tune since April 2014 (a span of 476 shows, the longest Umphrey’s had gone between renditions of the song since its debut in 2000).

See the full setlist from Saturday below. Next up for Umphrey’s McGee is a two-night run at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium starting this Friday, March 29.
