The tight pack known as Bob Weir & Wolf Bros made its way to the historic Majestic Theatre in Dallas Thursday night for a sold-out concert. For those who somehow don’t know, Bob Weir was a co-founding member of the Grateful Dead and will lead Dead & Company on their final run later this year. And the Thursday night crowd was indeed grateful to get to see Weir perform his original music.
The Wolf Bros formed in 2018 as a trio with drummer Jay Lane — longtime Ratdog drummer and the original drummer for Primus — and bassist Don Was, who has four Grammys as a producer including two best album wins for his work with The Rolling Stones and Bonnie Raitt. After a tour and a pandemic, the Wolf Bros added keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, who's been playing in most of Weir's post-Dead projects, including Dead & Company.
What gave this show another dimension was The Wolfpack, a string and brass quintet with Alex Kelly, Brian Switzer, Adam Theis, Mads Tolling and Sheldon Brown.These players brought to life elements of the songs that had never been imagined in that arrangement.The Majestic was the perfect backdrop for the relaxed atmosphere, and the smell of marijuana was not as overwhelming as you'd expect.
"Dark Star" was also weaved into the set. The classic song by the Grateful Dead is an elusive anthem, seldom played but a beloved choice among fans. Many recorded versions of the song range from 10 to 30 minutes in length. The first two shows in Austin teased"Dark Star," but never actually played it. Other highlights of the night included a rare first set performance of"Lovelight" and a serene version of the Bob Dylan song"When I Paint My Masterpiece.
