Bob Weir<\/a> and Wolf Bros performed a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR<\/a>, covering Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Weir and Wolf Bros \u2014 drummer Jay Lane and bassist Don Was \u2014 kicked off with \u201cOnly a River,\u201d a solo track Weir released on 2016\u2019s Blue Mountain<\/em>. Then they launched into Dylan\u2019s \u201cWhen I Paint My Masterpiece,\u201d with Weir strumming his acoustic guitar and belting out the iconic lines: \u201cBut someday everything\u2019s gonna be different\/When I paint that masterpiece.\u201d<\/p>\n

The musicians were joined by harpist Mikaela Davis for the last two songs: the Grateful Dead<\/a>\u2019s \u201cBird Song\u201d and \u201cRipple,\u201d both written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. The sparkling harp makes \u201cRipple\u201d even more whimsical, with Weir and his mustache sounding incredibly wise as he sings: \u201cIf you should stand then who\u2019s to guide you? If I knew the way, I would take you home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weir and Wolf Bros kicked off their spring tour<\/a> last week at the Fillmore in Miami Beach. They\u2019ll play intimate theaters in several states, concluding with two consecutive nights at the State Theater in Portland, Maine, on March 27th and 28th. After a few months off, Weir will join Dead & Company for a summer tour<\/a>, starting with two evenings at Folsom Field in Denver, Colorado, on July 10th and 11th. The trek will wrap up with back-to-back nights at Boston\u2019s Fenway Park on August 7th and 8th.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overall arc of the evening then turns into something really quite akin to opera,\u201d Weir recently told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> of Dead & Company\u2019s shows. \u201cThere\u2019s an overarching story \u2014 though it may be nebulous, it\u2019s still there. Some evenings have it stronger than others, and that\u2019s just part of the luck of the draw. You can never predict what a night\u2019s going to bring you, or what a given song is going to bring you that night, but you get a feel for it. The element of risk and reward is there for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n
