Bob Weir and Wolf Bros Bring Tour to Connecticut

  Bob Weir and Wolf Bros continued their spring tour on Saturday night, offering a nice mix of Grateful Dead material, covers and Weir's first version of "Easy To Slip" since 2014. After diving in with Grateful Dead favorites "Bertha" and "Loser," Weir touched on his solo material early at the Wallingford, Conn. show, playing "Lay My Lily Down" off his 2016 Blue Mountain LP. From there, the trio - featuring Weir, bassist Don Was and percussionist Jay Lane - served up a pair of of Bob Dylan tunes with "When I Paint My Masterpiece" and "She Belongs to Me," before finding a nice groove on the Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway." Set one closed out with "Corrina" and a sing-a-long of "Touch of Grey." Later, the band jammed through "He's Gone" and Ratdog's Evening Moods tune "Two Djinn," and offered a nice "Playing in the Band" segment that segued in and out of a "Let It Grow" jam. The show continued with versions of "Going Down The Road Feeling Bad" and "Standing on the Moon," before closing with the classic combo of "China Cat Sunflower"> "I Know You Rider." The band encored with an emotive "Brokedown Palace."
