![]() Anastasio deftly handled the guitar work, which serves as the real hook to the song and a through line to the extended jam that is “I Know You Rider.” It was a seamless segue, which could not be said for previous nights (or even the rest of this show necessarily) and, again, a sign that this assembly was meant to be. “China Cat” set the tone for a stellar start with Anastasio taking the lead on vocals that, for a second, sounded eerily similar to the late Jerry Garcia. If the first set of the last of five shows proved anything, it’s that this band knows how to cater to its audience, delivering old standbys from the bygone era - “China Cat Sunflower,” “I Know You Rider,” “Samson and Delilah,” “Estimated Prophet” - with the precision of not just a highly professional outfit of musicians, but one that’s finally gelling. ![]() Scroll down to view the setlist from Friday and Saturday night.Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary: All Our Coverage Weir’s stand at The Guild Theatre can be streamed via fans.live, follow this link to watch.

The group rolled “Estimated Prophet” into “Eyes of the World” and “Looks Like Rain” before ending the sequence on “The Wheel.” For the set’s final number, they tossed in “Around and Around,” and followed with a “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” encore.Īfter concluding their time at The Guild Theatre, Weir posted his final setlist on Instagram, and added “Safe Travels and we’ll see you for some more Wolf Bros in September…” While there are no official dates on the book, it could now be assumed new Wolf Bros appearances would pick up after Dead & Company wrap their final tour this summer. Part two of Saturday’s concert consisted of a take on Kris Kristofferson’s famed “Me and Bobby McGee” cut before following up with “Greatest Story Ever Told” and The Beatles’ “Come Together” featuring an “Elenor Rigby” theme courtesy of Tolling. The concert saw the return of Kimock and Tolling, who helped out throughout the evening, beginning with an opening display of “Jack Straw.” After the first song of the night, the band paired “Ashes and Glass” with the Roy Hamilton classic, “Don’t Let Go” prior to a reprise of “Ashes.” Next, the group delivered a take on “Row Jimmy” before coupling “Mama Tried” with “Lovelight” to cap the first frame. With night four in the books, Weir and company arrived ready for their fifth and final stand on Saturday, April 8. Once the musicians had returned from break, they started the second half of the night on “The Winners” before a classic pairing of “China Cat Sunflower” with “I Know You Rider.” Next, they added another Ace favorite, “Playing in the Band,” before taking the night to great heights on a cosmic display of “Dark Star,” which ran over into The Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.” The previously mentioned tune morphed into a soulful display of “Standing on the Moon” prior to a set ending, “Going Down the Road Feel Bad” and “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue” encore. Next, the band placed “El Paso” before “Black-Throated Wind,” and “I Need A Miracle” and closed the set on a lavish rendition of “Birdsong.” With Weir’s guests on stage, Friday night’s initial frame heated up with a number off of Weir’s Ace collection on fan favorite “Cassidy,” which morphed into a rendition of Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Good Morning, School Girl.” From there, the group spun in the Jerry Garcia-penned “Loser” before arriving on “Tennessee Jed,” a song perfectly equipped for Tolling and Kimock’s added instrumentation. Continuing their Bay Area stand, the group’s frontman and billed lineup returned to the fabled stage last night to close out their gig with special assistance from Kimock and Tolling once again. After three consecutive performances, the ensemble took Thursday, April 6 off, before resuming their residency the following night with special guests Steve Kimock and Weir’s Wolfpack members Mads Tolling and Brian Switzer. On April 3, Bobby Weir and the Wolf Bros Trio commenced their five-night stand at The Guild Theatre in Menlo Park, Calif.
