Last Thursday night, Bob Weir performed at Charlottesville,
VA’s Jefferson Theatre as part of his first ever solo acoustic tour. For his
encore, Weir honored Levon Helm with a cover of The Band classic “The Weight.”
Before the song, Weir said, “I don’t have to tell you who
this one’s dedicated to.” “On the other side of the country, Grateful Dead
partner Phil Lesh also paid tribute to Helm with covers of The Band’s “Acadian
Driftwood” and Elton John’s “Levon” at Terrapin Crossroads.
During the performance, Weir also offered a solo take on the
recently revived “My Brother Esau” and explained how members of The National
persuaded him to rework the long-shelved song for The Bridge Sessions.
