More footage from Billy String’s performance at the fabulous Fox Theater in Oakland, CA.
Following a brilliant and adventurous cover of “Dark Star,” Billy followed it up with an equally incredible cover of “Wharf Rat.”

Dead and Company summer tour continued last night at the bus rolled into Hartford, CT. Bobby and the gang still have 7 more gigs left in the summer leg of their tour before heading south and west for the fall leg.
Dead and Co treated Hartford to some great Dead jams including an opening “Shakedown Street,” “Franklin’s Tower,” and the elusive “St. Stephen > William Tell Bridge > The Eleven.”
Setlist
Relix treated YouTube subscribers to a beautiful set of Dead music earlier this week. Harpist Mikaela Davis and Southern Star stopped by the Relix studios to perform a delicate yet powerful suite of Dead songs.
The set included “Mountains of the Moon”, “Dark Star”, “Wharf Rat”, and “St. Stephen.”
Thanks to Relix for the footage!
The Grateful Dead have returned to YouTube with another installment of All the Years Live. The latest concert footage comes from Orchard Park during the summer of 1990.
Deep in the second set, Jerry lead the Dead in a beautiful performance of “Wharf Rat.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance: “Wharf Rat appeared steadily in the repertoire since its debut in February 1971 until 1995, and was always a very welcome song to appear in the ‘ballad slot’ in many second sets. It first appeared commercially on Skull & Roses, and is one of the few Grateful Dead originals for which there is no recorded studio version, with the Skull & Roses rendition being the definitive version.”
Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!
