Furthur Brings Out Guests at All Good 2013

Phil Lesh with Furthur

Furthur, the newest and most epic reincarnation of the Grateful Dead since Jerry Garcia’s passing, attained the much anticipated headlining slot at All Good Music Festival and Campout 2013.  They played two sets during a four hour set Saturday night from 8:15-12:15.  Led by Grateful Dead alums Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, Furthur also features talent from Joe Russo (Benevento Russo Duo, American Babies), Jeff Chimenti (Ratdog), John Kadlecik (Dark Star Orchestra), as well as Sunshine Becker and Jeff Pehrson on vocals.  Their performance was incredibly on point.  As usual, Furthur just kept cranking out the classic tunes with professional musicianship.  It was almost as if this show featured everyone’s favorite songs.  The first set featured jams such as “Uncle John’s Band” and “The Music Never Stopped.”  The last three songs featured Andy Falco, who is the guitarist from sensational bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters.

Phil Lesh - Big Plans for 2014 after Free Show in Central Park

It is old news that the latest Grateful Dead formation, Furthur featuring Phil Lesh and Bob Weir, is taking a 2014 hiatus after their sold-out four-night event in January called Paradise Waits at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Mexico.  After their bash on the beach, Weir and Lesh both intend to keep playing music, focusing on their solo projects.  This is understandable considering Furthur’s intense touring schedule over the past four years.  It was just announced that Lesh, 73, is teaming up with heavyweight music promoter and Relix Magazine publisher Peter Shapiro to pursue an easier way to keep the music going after 46 years on the road.

On July 22, 2011, being seaside at Seaside Park in Bridgeport, Connecticut provided little relief from the bombarding heat even though the site for Gathering of the Vibes is on the coast of Long Island Sound.   The second day of the festival tied the record high temperature for Bridgeport of 103° set in 1957.

Furthur at SPAC - Summer Tour Photos

12 Days of Furthur - Day 2

Furthur performed at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) on July 19, 2011.  Shakedown raged on through the afternoon developing into a 60 wide river of people late in the afternoon.  The hot afternoon lent to an awesome evening inside the arena.  SPAC is a great venue within Saratoga Springs Spa and State Park.  Inside the show, the lawn area opens up to huge courtyards of manicured grass.

Concert Photos Magazine and Performance Impressions are releasing photos from 12 Furthur concerts during the first 12 days of the new year.

Full Steam Ahead for Furthur Tour

Furthur is gearing up for a fall tour that is sure to add some frequent flyer miles for those catching most of the shows.  Starting on the first day of autumn, Furthur plays three shows at the Cuthbert Amphitheater in Eugene.

Then after single day shows in Montana and Utah, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and the rest of the band, crew and tour settle in for three days at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado.  Heading west after that, the tour dips into Vegas for a show at the Hard Rock and continues to California for 2 shows at at The Greek Theater in L.A. and 2 more in Monterey.  After a three week break, Furthur opens the east coast run of the tour in Manchester, New Hampshire on November 3 and then trucks on through the Northeast including a November 10 show at Madison Square Garden.  Getting as far south as Charlottesville, Virginia on the east coast leg of the tour, Furthur will then be performing 5 shows across the mid-west to the delight of many who have not been able to travel to catch shows in the past couple of tours.

Furthur

With a temperature of 102 degrees it made for a hot show more ways than one at The Mann Theater in Philadelphia Pa. There was even excitement in parking lot as a 8 point buck was running through out it. The first set started out with Sittin' On Top of the World. Other highlights of the first set included When I Paint My Masterpiece and The Mighty Quinn.. The second set was stronger than the first set. Shakedown Street, The Women are Smarter, Any Road, Franklins Tower and In The Midnight Hour.
