www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2016/08/18/490226714/raising-the-dead-hear-a-song-from-bob-weirs-first-album-in-a-decade Now 68, Weir has developed a storyteller's voice, complete with sonic wrinkles and grey hair — a far cry from the baby face we used to see on stage next to Garcia. So when he sings, "Shenandoah, I long to see you," it seems to cut right to an inevitable sense of loss. Yet "Only A River" isn't sad at all. Instead, the song feels more like a phone call from a friend when you're facing a black cloud of loss. A spirit of celebration radiates through Weir's voice, especially in the out-chorus, which reminds me of that saying: "Don't mourn losing me, celebrate knowing me." But with minor chords.
today's playlist: this song because it was in my head all day and this show because it's been exactly 44 years

It's a good Phil & Friends lineup too. Fishman and Russo is extremely solid Edit: wait Page is there too. More like Phil & Phish amirite
ya know, I was gonna say something about phil's voice but he actually sounds pretty good. better than when i saw him in 2011 and he butchered the "lady finger" part of st stephen

So Bob Weir just sat in with Phish in Nashville tonight. They played Samson and Delilah, West L.A. Fadeaway, and Playin' in the Band.
Still love this Truckin>Other One>Big River>Other One>Eyes>Other One>Wharf Rat that starts at 1:40:30ish. Sublime Virtually every single time this band ever jammed into TOO and Phil did his fucking insane "BAHDADADADADADADADADADADADA" intro...I love it so much
I really dig it. Ki-Yi Bossie is probably my favorite. Wish I could go to the tour, but its probably not happening. Hoping for a bust-out this summer
