Pop Break Live: Bob Weir and Phil Lesh at Radio City Music Hall in New York City
On March 2 and March 3, the city of New York was given an early Christmas present…
Two nights of Bob Weir and Phil Lesh performing together.
The co-founding members of The Grateful Dead, and the cornerstones of Dead & Company, performed as “Phil and Bobby” in the iconic Radio City Music Hall. Unsurprisingly, both shows were sold out.
The duo performed two sets of Grateful Dead songs and sprinkled in songs from Weir’s solo catalog and classic from the Georgia Crackers.
Joining the duo during their second set was Phish frontman, and a legend in his own right, Trey Anastasio.
Pop Break’s Matt Heasley caught the duo in action.
