On Wednesday, Jan. 14, Grateful Shred celebrated the legacy of the late Bob Weir with That’s It For The Other One – A Tribute to Bob Weir. Staged at Highland Park, Los Angeles’ Lodge Room, the memorial event was presented by Blues for Sallah and featured Shred’s founding guitarist Austin McCutchen and bassist Dan Horne, alongside longtime keyboardist Adam McDougall and drummer Corey Rose, were augmented by storied players like guitarist Nate LaPointe, vocalists Natalie Carol and Katie Skene and drummer Rodney Newman.
Together, the supergroup representing some of Southern California’s foremost psych-rock and jam projects tore through a two-set, 21-track show of Grateful Dead covers and borrowed songs that the band made their own, all carefully selected to honor Weir’s place in the Dead’s groundbreaking sound. After opening their first frame with “Promised Land” and bridging “Estimated Prophet” into “Passenger” and a set closer of the Western tune “On the Road Again,” the band commenced theri second set with “Man Smart, Woman Smarter” and touched on other classics like “Big River,” “Me and Bobby McGee” and “Cassidy.” Shred’s set two centerpiece was a titanic jam on “Truckin’,” “Drums,” “The Other One,” “Space” and Traffic’s Hazy “Dear Mr. Fantasy, preceding an exhilarating finale of “Sugar Magnolia” and a heartfelt encore of “Touch of Gray.”
Grateful Shred will begin their Winter Tour with an engagement at Chico, Calif.’s The Big Room at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company on Jan. 29., then progress through seven further dates around the West and Canada before hitting Portland, Ore.’s Revolution Hall on Feb. 7.
