Bob Weir shared pro-shot video featuring Bob Weir and Wolf Bros joined by legendary bassist Ron Carter and The Wolfpack strings and horns on “Dark Star.” The +18-minute version was filmed on April 2 during the first of two concerts at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall celebrating the 50th anniversary of Weir’s 1972 studio album, Ace.
“Dark Star” was played towards the middle of the evening’s second set. Carter helped give the Grateful Dead classic a jazz feel in taking over Upright Bass duties from Don Was. Weir, Carter, drummer Jay Lane, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and pedal steel guitarist Barry Sless were augmented by The Wolfpack consisting of cellist Alex Kelly, violinist Mads Tolling, trombonist Adam Theis, trumpeter Brian Switzer and woodwind specialist Sheldon Brown for “Dark Star.” The Wolfpack also lent a hand on other portions of the evening.
