Bob Weir And Wolf Bros Offer Two Debuts On Night Two Of Tour In Northampton [Full-Show Audio]

Bob Weir and Wolf Bros continued their winter tour on Friday night with a performance at John M. Greene Hall in Northampton, MA. Following Thursday’s tour-opener in Ithica, the band–comprised of Weir, bassist Don Was, and drummer Jay Lane–provided Massachusetts Deadheads in attendance with 18 songs over two sets and an encore to keep the tour rolling in fine fashion.

The trio kept the audience on their toes, weaving between the expansive catalogs of the Grateful Dead (“Hell in a Bucket”, “Friend of the Devil”, “Lost Sailor”, “Saint of Circumstance”, “Tennessee Jed”, “New Speedway Boogie, “I Need A Miracle”, “Throwing Stones”, “Ripple”), Merle Haggard (“Mama Tried”), Bob Dylan (“Queen Jane Approximately”, “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”), Ratdog (“Ashes and Glass”), Roy Hamilton (“Don’t Let Go”), and Jerry Garcia (“Bird Song”).

For their second show of the tour, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros delivered two debuts, including the group’s first-ever rendition of “I’ve Been All Around This World” and Weir’s “Shade of Grey” from 1978’s Heaven Help The Fool. Weir hadn’t played the traditional folk tune since 2008, nor his own original since 2014–making for an exciting night for all.
