On Tuesday, Mill Valley, CA’s Sweetwater Music Hall hosted Music Heals International’s 8th Annual Concert to Benefit the Rob Wasserman Memorial Fund. The evening’s advertised lineup consisted of The MHI All-Stars, featuring area players Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz, Mookie Siegel, Elliott Peck, Paul Beaubrun, Steve Adams, Ezra Lipp, Jamie Clark and Grant Harrington.
However, as expected, a number of guest musicians joined in during the night, including Wasserman’s longtime collaborator and Sweetwater co-owner Bob Weir, Lukas Nelson and Tato Melgar, RatDog saxophonist Dave Ellis and DJ Logic. The Grateful Dead guitarist joined Nelson and Melgar for a few selections, including “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain,” “Before You Accuse Me” and “Loose Lucy.” He also took part in the evening’s all-star finale, which included “Standing on Shaky Ground,” “The Weight” and “I Shall be Released.”
