For the second of their three shows at the Vilar Performing Arts Center, the Oteil Burbridge Trio performed a slew of Grateful Dead classics. They were joined for the evening by keyboardist Joey Porter. The show was streamed on FANS.live.
The show began with a trio of Jerry Garcia tunes: “Run for the Roses,” “Deal” and “Mission in the Rain.” Later in the set, the four musicians worked their way between Grateful Dead staple “Eyes of the World” and “King Solomon’s Marbles,” before dropping into the beloved “Shakedown Street.”
The set closed with an energetic pairing of “I Know You Rider” and “Turn On Your Love Light.” For the encore, Burbridge and his band opted for “Althea” and “Don’t Ease Me In.”

Maybe he knows Bobby will be foaming at the mouth to get back on the road, when safe to do so, and wants to be well rehearsed. Maybe he just loves the music like other fans. Why does it matter to you?

March 21, 2021 at 5:33 pmWhere is the credible original material? Oteil is far too talented to resign himself to playing Grateful Dead covers at solo shows. Then again, I suppose he can make more money trotting out the 6,399th unnecessary version of Shakedown Street.
