On Wednesday night, Soulive returned to New York City’s Brooklyn Bowl for the 7th edition of their residency at the famous venue dubbed Bowlive, which sees the group joined by a number of unique special guests during each performance. For the inaugural show of their eight-night residency at Brooklyn Bowl this year, Soulive members Eric Krasno, Alan Evans, and Neal Evans were joined by multi-instrumentalist Karl Denson and guitarist Steve Kimock, coming together to put on a fiery performance to start Soulive’s run. Though not originally billed, Bobby Vega and Leslie Mendelson were also announced to perform last night’s show ahead of the event, rounding out the all-star crew.

As is appropriate with Steve Kimock, a guitarist with roots in Grateful Dead history, and Karl Denson, who recently wrapped up a run with Phil Lesh & Friends at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, on hand, as reported on setlist.fm, the augmented lineup played through a number of Grateful Dead tunes, including “West L.A. Fadeaway” and “Scarlet Begonias.” Tonight, Soulive continues on with the second night of their residency, which will see Doyle Brahmall II and Ron Artis II join the group to perform Rubber Soulive in its entirety, while over the weekend, Soulive will be joined by Antwaun Stanley, The Snarky Horns, Sam Kininger, and The London Souls, in addition to performing a special “Bowlive for Kids” set on Saturday afternoon.
