Now 68, Weir has developed a storyteller's voice, complete with sonic wrinkles and grey hair — a far cry from the baby face we used to see on stage next to Garcia. So when he sings, "Shenandoah, I long to see you," it seems to cut right to an inevitable sense of loss. Yet "Only A River" isn't sad at all.

Instead, the song feels more like a phone call from a friend when you're facing a black cloud of loss. A spirit of celebration radiates through Weir's voice, especially in the out-chorus, which reminds me of that saying: "Don't mourn losing me, celebrate knowing me." But with minor chords.

 

I'm really excited for Blue Mountain

 

that is the best Here Come Sunshine 12-19-73

 

today's playlist:

this song because it was in my head all day

and this show because it's been exactly 44 years

 

Phil Lesh is about to play at Lockn in a couple hours if anyone wants to tune in.

Free LOCKN' 2016 webcast right here on FANS! - CirculationDesk - FANS

 

It's a good Phil & Friends lineup too. Fishman and Russo is extremely solid

Edit: wait Page is there too. More like Phil & Phish amirite

 

Phil and Phish is a historically great combination.

 

I'm listening. So good

 

Tedeschi on Mr. Charlie

 

Tedeschi Trucks sit in was great

 

ya know, I was gonna say something about phil's voice but he actually sounds pretty good. better than when i saw him in 2011 and he butchered the "lady finger" part of st stephen

 

Yeah his voice was sounding really good, Terrapin was epic.

 

About That Time Dead & Company Bassist Oteil Burbridge Dropped Acid At The Gorge

Bob Weir: Blue Mountain Album Review | Pitchfork

bobby fans are ppl too baby!!! great album i love it and agree pretty much completely with this review

 

CT got dope shows tbh

 

So Bob Weir just sat in with Phish in Nashville tonight. They played Samson and Delilah, West L.A. Fadeaway, and Playin' in the Band.

 

Damn sounds amazing

 

Still love this Truckin>Other One>Big River>Other One>Eyes>Other One>Wharf Rat that starts at 1:40:30ish. Sublime

Virtually every single time this band ever jammed into TOO and Phil did his fucking insane "BAHDADADADADADADADADADADADA" intro...I love it so much

 

this tape rules. Spanish Jam fucking rips, and coming out of a TOO tease? God help me

 

The Bob Weir album is growing on me a fair amount.

 

I really dig it. Ki-Yi Bossie is probably my favorite. Wish I could go to the tour, but its probably not happening. Hoping for a bust-out this summer

 

@cshadows2887 speaking of Bob

 

remember in hartford at 13:18 in eyes when Oteill destroyed the venue
