On Thursday evening, Bob Weir and Wolf Bros continued their early-2019 prowl with a performance at St. Louis, MO’s The Pageant.
The trio—comprised of Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir along with bassist Don Was and drummer Jay Lane—opened the show with a spirited performance of “Bertha”. From there, Weir picked up an acoustic guitar for “Friend of the Devil”, “Black-Throated Wind”, and “Cassidy”. Next, the band worked through Bob Dylan‘s “Most of the Time” for the third time this tour, followed by the Bob Weir and Wolf Bros debut of John Prine‘s “Great Rain”, which Weir recently played with Margo Price at a John Prine tribute show in Los Angeles. To close the set, Weir and his Wolf Bros worked through “Tennessee Jed” and “Bird Song”.
After setbreak, the band reemerged and slid into a rendition of “Me and My Uncle”. From there, the trio began a string of segued tunes that took them through “Scarlet Begonias”, “Corrina” , and “Truckin’” before landing in Eddie Cooley‘s “Fever”, a staple cover on this ongoing tour. RatDog favorite “Two Djinn” was up next, followed by another segued string of tunes to end the set with The Beatles‘ “Dear Prudence”, “Throwing Stones”, and “Going Down The Road Feelin’ Bad”. Finally, Bob Weir and his Wolf brethren returned for an encore rendition of Dylan classic “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door”.
