The final line-up for Gathering of the Vibes has been released - including Friday night headliner: FURTHUR

thebutterroom:

Bird Song > Born Cross Eyed > Let It Grow - Furthur
9.18.09 - Fox Theater, Oakland, CA

Phil Lesh and Bob Weir have quickly formed a new Dead project with some new, but familiar faces.  The lineup is:

Bob Weir - Rhythm Guitar
Phil Lesh - Bass
Jeff Chimenti - Keys
John Kadlecik - Lead Guitar
Jay Lane - Drums
Joe Russo - Drums

Unlike The Dead, which seemed worn and ragged, uneven and at times simply over the hill, Furthur’s three shows this weekend seem to have breathed some life into the Grateful Dead community.  John Kadlecik (aka Fake Jerry) from Dark Star Orchestra plays a more authentic and true to form lead guitar than most have done since the fat man’s passing, and Joe Russo brings not only serious chops but a slightly different approach than Dead fans are probably used to.

On another note, The Butter Room would like to send a special shout out to our friend, contributor, and loyal Dead Head, Martin, who turned the big 4-0 yesterday. Hope you had a wonderful weekend, Southern Heat!
