Watch Bob Weir’s Acoustic Set at Amoeba Music with Blue Mountain Debuts

Bob Weir played an impromptu acoustic set at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, CA last week in support of his new album Blue Mountain.

The set was short but oh so sweet. Despite a few technical glitches at the beginning, Bobby’s vocals, guitar playing and spirit shined through beautifully. Halfway through the 7 song set, Bobby welcomed Josh Kaufman who produced Bob’s new album and is a member of The National to the stage for a few tunes.

Bobby being the consummate performer and ready for whatever when on stage, debuted “Only a River” without rehearsal with Josh. In addition to some new tunes off of Blue Mountain, Bobby performed “When I Paint My Masterpiece” and Peggy-O among other staples.

As Weir prepares for his tour this month, this performance shows he is in tip-top shape!

Thanks to Live Nation for live-streaming the show and GratefulLSD for the capture!

Instant Classic: Listen to Dead and Company’s Blazing First Show at Fenway – 7/15/2016 HD Audio Capture

Dead and Company started their two night run at historic Fenway Park in Boston last night. The special venue made for an oh-so special show. The boys treated Boston to one of their best shows of the tour.

John marked this historic by wearing what looked like a picnic blanket

Luckily John’s guitar playing was just as bold as his fashion sense. Mayer and the boys were on fire. This crew is turning out to be among the best post-Jerry ensembles we have ever seen. As Reddit user jaghutgathos said:

It took Bobby 20 years to get “his” band done proper. This is it. He’s out of Jerry’s shadow now. As leader of the band. Not just any band, but a smoking fucking band that can bring it night after night & brings freshness to the catalog.

Some of the highlights include a first set Help > Slip > Frank and the entire fricking second set.

Thanks as always to Quinfolk for the stream!

Here is the setlist thanks to Reddit:

SET ONE

Listen to Dead and Company’s Second Night at Citi Field in NYC – 6/26/2016 Soundboard Quality

After a monster night one, Dead and Company took to the stage at Citi Field to complete their first run of the tour. Donna returned to play more tunes on stage with the band, as she did the night before.

As the tour goes on, Mayer is seemingly gaining confidence and superpowers. I have been re-listening to the shows from this run and rediscovered the absolutely insane Viola Lee Blues from Bristow. Night two at Citi Field showed John experimenting with different teases throughout the night whether it was Coltrane or Hendrix. We are witnessing John Mayer at the absolute top of his game.

Night two had a couple of tour debuts like The Eleven Jam and Samson and Delilah.

Here is the setlist for night two thanks to Reddit:

Set 1:
St. Stephen > The Eleven Jam > St. Stephen
The Music Never Stopped
Bertha
Black Throated Wind
Peggy-o
Box of Rain
Goin Down the Road Feeling Bad

Set 2:
Jam > Truckin > He’s Gone > Help on the Way > Slipknot > Franklin’s Tower > Drums > Space > Days Between > China Cat Sunflower > I know You Rider

Encore:
Samson and Delilah

Listen to Phil Lesh and Friends’ Show at Terrapin Crossroads – 6/12/2016 Soundboard

While Dead and Company was melting faces at Bonnaroo, Phil Lesh and Friends played the decidedly more laid back Terrapin Crossroads venue but still put on a hell of a show.

Phil, proprietor of Terrapin Crossroads has created a training ground for the next emissaries of the Dead’s music. This round of students included Teresa Williams, Larry Campbell, Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, and Jason Crosby. Most notable are the Dickinson brothers who make up the better part of the North Mississippi Allstars.

In an unusual move, Phil played with this group of friends for the first two sets and then brought out a second line-up for the next set. The third set was from one of Phil’s favorite 1988 shows and unfortunately hasn’t surfaced…. yet.

Thanks to Quinkfolk for the recording.

Here is the full setlist from the first two sets with the first lineup

Set 1
Uncle John’s Band
Endless Highway>
Till The Morning Comes
Miss Ohio
Who Do You Love>
Sitting On Top Of The World>
