Bobby and Billy's new band kicked off Los Muertos Con Queso with a tribute to Butch Trucks 

 

  The Los Muertos Con Queso concert event being held in Riviera Maya, Mexico began yesterday with the Chris Robinson's Brotherhood , while Bobby and Billy debuted their new band to rave reviews. Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Bill Kreutzmann were joined by W.S.P bassist Dave Schools, JRAD and American Babies guitarist Tom Hamilton and Jeff Chimenti in his usual chair behind the ivory. Beside Grateful Dead staples they played a awe-inspiring tribute to Butch Trucks last night when The Allman Brothers Band’s “Mountain Song” evolved out of Drums into Rev Gary Davis’ staple “Death Don't have No Mercy”. They ended the first night with a fitting double encore of “Liberty” and U.S. Blues. The festivities continue today with two sets of The String Cheese Incident and another performance by the Bobby and Billy band.

Set One: Uncle John’s Band > Here Comes Sunshine, West L.A., Little Red Rooster, Crazy Fingers > Jack Straw

Set Two: China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider, Tennessee Jed, Drums > Mountain Jam > Death Don’t Have No Mercy > Sugar Magnolia

Jackie Greene Birthday Celebration reunited Phil and Bobby. Setlist, Review, Videos

Jackie Greene's Friends came around for his birthday show. Including Phil and Bobby sharing the same stage for only the second time since Fare Thee Phil. Setlist, Videos and 411
 

 

      Jackie Greene played The Warfield last night for the first time as it hosted his hometown birthday show. It has become tradition over the last few years. He always celebrates his birthday with a bunch of talented friends. This year he gave all of us a present when Bobby and Phil shared the stage for only the second time since Fare Thee Phil. Everyone that is familiar with our musical sandbox knows that we love The Kid. He turned 36 and is already a savant. The last few years he has been focusing on his talented career with his band and they never have sounded better. Its tough to turn down the big money, but I have been thrilled he stopped playing hired gun for a bit. Last night besides Bobby Weir and Phil Lesh, Jackie was joined by Jason Crosby, Mark Karan, Ross James and the angelic voice of Nicki Bluhm. His brother Alex Nelson played keys on Scarlett>Fire and quickly it became obvious why he was never invited before tonight. I am only half kidding, he did not make a fool of himself but I don't see the brothers making music together except on holidays. 

    It was a three magestic sets with my only complaint being the lack of Jackie originals. He played a few, but instead he performed more covers including a tasty "Medicated Goo" that would make any Traffic fan smile. The three sets including an acoustic set and ended with a inspired Grateful Dead set.
