Furthur at the Mothership

The Hampton Coliseum, The Mothership – a classic arena in Dead lore and Phish lore alike.  The venue is famous for its spaceship-like appearance, intimate size, impeccable sight lines, and of course the legendary shows that have graced its stage.

Hampton Coliseum

Last night was surely a real treat for Furthur, playing their largest venue of the tour, albeit not sold out by any means. The band went for an 80s pychedelia feel for the show, dusting off gems like Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, Picasso Moon, and Dear Mr. Fantasy, accompanied by a nice mix of 60s tripper material including Viola Lee Blues, Dark Star, and Masons Children.

This Friday, February 5th, Furthur kicks off a lengthy winter tour in Miami, FL at the Bayfront Park Amphitheatre. The tour runs from Feb. 5th to Mar. 12th (see dates below) and treks all the way up the east coast before making a few stops in Chicago, Oregon, and a final blow-out 70th Birthday celebration for Phil Lesh in San Fran. The band’s recent ‘public rehearsals’ included many first takes on not-yet-Furthur’d dead tunes and covers including On the Road Again (Traditional), Get Back (Beatles), Hurricane (Dylan), No More Do I (Phil n Friends), Maggie’s Farm (Dylan), and  the pigpen classic I’m A King Bee (Blues Traditional).

Hey y’all,

As I’m sure all WTN readers out there are all too aware, we all need a hiatus sometimes. Well, Welcome To Now is no different. But we’re back, rested and fired up for Welcome To Now 2.0. Coming soon, we’ll be looking back at some of the amazing music that has transpired over the past few months, and looking forward to live coverage of upcoming Winter/Spring tours from Trey Anastasio Band, Furthur, The Allman Brothers Band, The Disco Biscuits, and many more.

So strap in, welcome to now, and let’s get this show (back) on the road!

Furthur Stealth Show in Fairfax, CA

{ November 22, 2009 @ 4:23 pm } · { Dark Star Orchestra, Furthur, Video }
{ Leave a Comment }

Days after announcing a big 2010 tour, Furthur played a stealth, last minute show on Friday night, Nov. 20th in Fairfax, CA. The band is currently rehearsing for their upcoming December Tour and NYE shows. John K. was of course with them and in top form as always, while Jeff Matson filled in the last few shows with Dark Star Orchestra on their Fall tour. Faux Jerry will re-join his DSO brothers Tuesday night in Syracuse and stick with them through their T-Giving weekend shows in NYC, a couple shows at the Higher Ground in VT, and on through their tour closer on Dec. 5th in Bufallo, NY. In the mean time, things in Furthur camp are looking up – Bobby seems to be really back in a groove these days, John K. is finding his own space with the band, and Chimenti’s playing is starting to shine through, check out the nice extended Lady With A Fan (Terrapin) Jam YouTube vid below:

That’s right people, hot off the faux Jerry resignation news – Furthur comes out with news of a massive tour up and down the east coast in February 2010. The tour kicks off Feb. 5 in Miami, FL and makes big stops at (from south to north): The Tabernacle, Hampton Coliseum, Trump Taj Atlantic City, Radio City Music Hall, and Barton Hall (Cornell).  Check out the official tour dates, ticket info, etc. over at the offical Furthur site.

Furhtur NYE

{ Comments (1) }

It’s official. Dark Star Orchestra’s John K. will abandon his band and his fans to play two shows with Phil Lesh and Bob Weir as ‘Furthur‘ in SF for NYE. Phil Lesh once said the Grateful Dead lives forever – is it worth reaping havoc with the heirs to the throne for one last hurrah with old man Bobby behind the wheel? See what HiddenTrack has to say about it here… Starheads everywhere are outraged, especially those that bought tickets to see DSO NYE over the last month(!) prior to the annconcment that they were onsale.

Gov’t Mule pulled out all the stops for the final show of their late summer/early fall tour that took place last weekend at The Warfield Theater in San Francisco.
