  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. 

Setlist

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

Encore: Liberty, U.S. Blues

 

Nothing Like a little Jack in your Queso: Jackie Greene Added to the Los Muertos con Queso Festival

  In a move that surprises no one, one more badass is added to the already loaded festival at the Riviera Maya.

The festival is already going to be one of the hottest festivals coming up. Now they've added Jackie just in case the recipe wasn't hot enough for you. The south of the border will see this wonderful festival from January 25-28 and features headline sets from Bob Weir, String Cheese Incident, and the Chris Robinson Brotherhood. Jeff Chimenti and Billy the K will also be playing. Each of them will be joined by their bandmates in Dead and Company. Expect sit ins and all types of shenanigans if you make the trip down Mexico way.

Jackie plays his own solo set on the 27th but somehow I have a feeling it won't be just him. That's the same night that SCI plays two sets. As if the lineup needed any help, Jackie Greene is always a great addition to any lineup. 

Once again, the Los Muertos Con Queso festival runs from the 25th to the 28th of January of next year, so grab tickets now because it's just around the corner.
