Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros with the Wolf Pack plus particular company at Humphreys by the Bay in San Diego, CA on 10/26/22 ~ Live performance Images Journal

Twas a beautiful summer-like fall night on the charming outside venue that rests in between the Shelter Island Harbor and San Diego Bay nearly fully surrounded by water, boats and palm timber. Humphrey’s was well past bought out however the excellent news – many of the heads standing exterior the gates holding up their finger finally bought in so “miracles” do occur… 

The band (consisting of Bob Weir on guitar, Don Was on upright bass, Jay Lane on drums, Jeff Chimenti on keyboards, Barry Sless on pedal metal guitar and Matthew Kelly on harmonica together with the wolf pack quintet members Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer, Adam Theis, Mads Tolling, Sheldon Brown serving up some psychedelic horns and string fillers) opened the present with the a crowd shifting first two verses of Not Fade Away right into a bouncy cowl of Johnny Money’s Large River. A good looking rendition of Mission within the Rain adopted Lil’ Pink Rooster. Ashes and Glass led right into a peppy Do not Let Go that went again into Ashes and Glass. Subsequent got here a present spotlight – a masterful, pretty and heartfelt Climate Report Suite that easily transitioned into the set closing Let It Develop. The stable throughout first set with a effectively chosen, effectively performed tune choice ended properly at 8:08pm. Throughout set break a younger (presumably influenced) fan requested why nobody was leaving but. He was relieved to understand extra music was on its manner.

When the home lights dimmed at 8:49pm, the already full stage was even fuller as three guys from Geensky Bluegrass abruptly emerged. Paul Hoffman on Mandolin, Anders Beck on Dobro and Mike Bont on banjo encircled Bobby for the acoustic 2nd set opener Good friend of the Satan together with a energetic Wolf Bros debut of Stealin’ adopted by a thoughts bending, jammed out Cassidy. Such a deal with to see all these gifted musicians taking part in so effectively collectively.

Greensky Bluegrass was scheduled to play Humphrey’s the following two nights and apparently arrived early to see the Wolf Bros. They left stage after which the at all times spectacular Tal Wilkenfeld changed Don Was onstage to play a really thumping Estimated Prophet.
