Neighbor welcomed two of the jam scene’s most prominent names this past week. The Massachusetts outfit brought out Goose’s Peter Anspach during their performance at the Salvage Station in Asheville, N.C., on April 29, and the following day The String Cheese Incident’s Kyle Hollingsworth joined them at Sweetwater 420 Festival in Atlanta.
The band’s Salvage Station performance got underway with a segued pairing of “Pine Tree” into “Steel” before busting into “Don’t You Cry.” Next, the ensemble, which consists of Dean Johnson (drums), Richard James (vocals, keys), Lyle Brewer (guitar) and Dan Kelly (bass), jammed into “One For The Hoop.” “Drums” followed and segued into “Trippin’ in a Van.”
For their next number, Neighbor welcomed Anspach on stage to lend his guitar skills on “Mighty Apple Tree.” Then, the band took on “Cucamonga Carl” and “Manga Zero” ahead of a cover of The Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind?” The single set performance continued with “Planet Silver” and “Shitstorm.” Then, for the last tune of Neighbor’s Salvage Station gig, they played “White Flag,” which was capped with a monumental solo by James.
On April 30, Neighbor popped up at SweetWater 420 in Centennial Olympic Park, the performance got underway with “Trippin’ in a Van.” They welcomed Hollingsworth, who offered keys on the evening's rendition of “Mighty Apple Tree.” For the band’s next number, they took on “Crashing Down” ahead of their new tune “Motor,” which debuted on March 18 at The Flying Monkey in Plymouth, N.H.
Then, Neighbor played “Move Along Little Jimmy,” which included a taste of “Lonely Rider” and “Pine Trees,” ahead of an unfinished “Into the Sun,” which segued into set closer, “Take Me Alive.” The final song of the band’s SweetWater 420 performance included a “Free Bird” tease.
Tonight, Neighbor will return to the stage at Paradise Rock Club in Boston, Mass. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.
