Fast forward to 24:30 for the start of the show.

Grateful Dead founding members, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have pretty much done their own thing since Further’s last tour and Fare Thee Well. Bob has been busy with Dead and Company and his Camp Fire project over the last couple of years, while Phil has kept to the coasts to play with an ever-revolving host of friends. The last time that Bobby and Phil shared the stage, I believe was on Jackie Greene’s birthday bash in San Francisco (check out the full show audio from that show – it’s awesome.

Watch Bob Weir join Phil Lesh for a Surprise Acoustic Set last Spring at The Backyard at Terrapin Crossroads

Last night, Bob and Phil reunited once again, this time to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Phil’s venue, Terrapin Crossroads. The show was announced last minute and was free – an homage to the dozens of free shows the Dead put on so many years ago. While Terrapin Crossroads does have a larger stage, Bob, Phil and the Terrapin Family Band chose to rock out in the bar.

The house was packed for the free show and Bob and Phil didn’t disappoint. Bob, Phil and the Terrapin Family Band rocked the bar with two sets of classic Dead tunes. The band even tucked in one of Bobby’s new tunes, “Gonesville” into the opening set. Terrapin Crossroads usual suspect, Nikki Bluhm hopped on stage for “The Music Never Stopped” and the evening ended with the classic encore cover of “Johnny B. Goode.”

Not a bad way to spend a Monday night, huh?
