Bob Weir Tickets

Other than a mediocre Touch of Grey encore and an exaggerated one hour+ intermission on Wednesday (3/7/18), Bob & Phil bought intense energy to two sets+encore lasting past the midnight hour on Wednesday. Personal highlight: whipped out a cover of Daniel Lanois' "The Maker," the first time I have heard this live. (The J.G.B. used to like to jam on this tune.) Guests Larry Campbell and wife Theresa Williams helped out in the second set; Larry really brings "it" on several stringed instruments Thursday night (3/8/18) was one the most memorable and tantalizing shows I've seen in my 39 years attending Dead-related shows. Girl From The North Country, a tasty Cosmic Charlie, Morning Dew, and an encore of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue were all the buzz (and rightfully so), but I was witnessed one of the best Cumberland Blues that I've ever heard. Campbell and Williams joined the boys again at the beginning of set two. TONS OF FUN!

First set was Bob and Phill cool stripped down jams, chemistry between the two was amazing. Second set welcomed Larry Cambell, Theresa Williams and Jeff Chimenti. Incredible. Larry played multiple instruments and. Incredible set. Bobs voice was strong and had nice interplay with Theresa. Encore was just Bob and Phill in a moving version of Brokedown Palace.

This was an unbelievably great event - Bobby and Phil were totally in sync, both voices were strong, and their playing was impeccable....Combined with great song selections and incredible backup from guest musicians. This was truly one for the ages :)

The shows were high energy and the set lists were phenomenal love coming to Chicago theater to see Bob we are in other artists is Fars Bob Weir and Phil Lesh goes, I really wish people would not talk or make obnoxious noises or scream the artist first name in the middle of a good jam And play a harmonica when you’re not in the band. These tickets are quite pricey and I think it’s lousy that we have to pay to get distractions from people who aren’t really there to even watch the show.

Bobby Weir & Phil Lesh absolutely KILLED it! As we know already, Bobby like to slow things down and Phil likes to really push the jams. Put those 2 together to do their own thing and it is magic! They really stretched a lot of those songs to places they have never been before!! I wish there were more shows on this tour! I will see Bobby ANYWHERE!

The venue and sound were perfect. Not a lot of room for dancing. The band was rather large for a duo. Perhaps someone forgot to tell Bobby and Phil duo means 2 not 3 or 6. I did not mind.

I saw my baby down by the river....knew she'd have to come up soon for air

I've been to hundreds of shows over the past 40 + years. This was a nice change of pace but I'm glad I only went to one of these shows. It entertained but the first set didn't have the energy that I was used to. Don't get me wrong, I like some folk and acoustic stuff splashed in there but this was a bit much for my taste. Others may differ. I love Phil but sadly his vocals are shot and it pains me. Thankfully, he only had a few songs. I enjoyed this but it left me even hungrier for this Summer's Dead and Company!

The Chicago Theater was THE place to see Bob and Phil! The acoustics were perfectly matched for the first acoustic set and the performance overall was AMAZING. Rare opportunity to see these two original Dead and it was worth the travel and expense. What an experience!

I wanted to wait until after Chicago for this review. Boston was the worst 2 shows of this run, not even close. Trey was Trey which means he always rocks and that made New York's 2nd night a dream. Chicago was at least 2 of the best 3 shows with LL Rain just one of many phenomenal performances. After the first set Saturday night I was anticipating fireworks and the boys (and girl) got down! Overall I was pleased to see these guys one more time after the horror that is Dead & Co. Memo to John Mayer - know when not to play. You know the music but you don't feel the music - big difference. I miss Warren and Jimmy every time I see Dead & Co. is touring. Diatribe over, Bobby is a tremendous performer and his leg kicks are the best!
