Coming to LP and CD on February 18th is Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros' Live In Colorado collection, according to Rock Cellar. The Grateful Dead co-founder and the band have just rolled out a string of March dates to coincide with the live set's release. Highlights on Live In Colorado include such Dead staples as “New Speedway Boogie,” “West L.A. Fadeaway,” and “Lost Sailor/Saint Of Circumstance,” among others.
In addition to Weir, the Wolf Bros' touring ensemble features bassist and longtime Rolling Stones producer Don Was, Dead & Company keyboardist Jeff Chimenti “with special guests the Wolfpack with Barry Sless on pedal steel.” The 13-city run kicks off on March 9th at Nashville, Tennessee's legendary Ryman Auditorium and winds down on March 30th in Syracuse, New York at the Landmark Theatre.
The tracklisting to 'Live In Colorado' is: “New Speedway Boogie,” “Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” “Big River,” “West L.A. Fadeaway,” “My Brother Esau,” “Only A River,” “Looks Like Rain,” and “Lost Sailor/Saint Of Circumstance.”
Bob Weir, who for years acted as Jerry Garcia's deputy in the Grateful Dead, talked to us about living a lifetime in the band: “This is the only life I've ever known, so it's all I've ever wanted to do, as well. It all seems real natural to me; ringing those lofty bells onstage — I live for that. In the mid-'70s, we decided we were going to start our own record company. In retrospect, we lost a lot of money, we found ourselves carrying briefcases and stuff like that and it was (laughs) — like I say, it was not something I would do again.”
