On Feb. 29, Umphrey’s McGee performed at Showbox SoDo in Seattle, Wash. The band invited a few guests for sit-ins during their leap day show, including longtime Frank Zappa band member Ike Willis.

The show began with “Le Blitz” followed by “Crucial Taunt.” After a late-set pairing of “Prowler” > “Example 1,” Umphrey’s brought out two guests for their set closing “Life During Exodus.” Ike Willis joined for vocals, as well as Marcus Rezak, who provided some guitar work.

The second set began with “The Silent Type,” followed by “All In Time.” Next, the band brought more guests to the stage, this time saxophonist Ernie Chang and percussionist Andee Avila. The expanded group performed “Day Nurse.” The set closed with a sandwich of “Utopian Fir” > “Bomb Track” > “Utopian Fir.” For the encore, Umphrey’s opted for “The Weight Around” before they returned to “All in Time.”
