“Bobby & Mickey were on stage alone for Lazy River Road – very different!!” (Bob Scalcione)
Lazy River Road – Bob Weir & Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, performing this song – just the two of them on stage, as part of Dead & Company: Dead Forever, Sphere, Las Vegas Thursday 8.1.2024 – Jerry Garcia’s 82nd birthday. As the two OG GD in D&C, this was a fitting tribute to their beloved band mate Jerry Garcia, and reports from those in attendance were that it was a very moving take on the song, and not a dry eye in the house.
For setlist statistical purposes, this was the first performance of the song as Dead & Company, though it was just the two of them on stage, Bob Weir on vocals and guitar, and Mickey Hart on percussion.
Here is the rest of the setlist, from the hands-down king of setlists, good ol’ grateful Bob Scalcione!

Rob Lawson was Bobby Weir’s longtime personal driver. Lost his brave battle with cancer last year, and this show was a tribute to his memory, and a benefit for his wife Maris and their son Little Robbie. Rob Lawson was a sweet kind man, and he was loved by many, and greatly missed. His family is part of our local community, (Maris is a close personal friend of Deadheadland), and it is wonderful to know they are being helped and taken care of by Bobby and the band. Love is real.

Bobby and the Wolf Brothers also played the previous night, as a benefit for longtime RatDog bass guitar player, Robin Sylvester, who is been in and out of hospital over the last couple years, and is in need of a kidney transplant. Robin is also a very sweet and kind gentleman, we’ve had the pleasure of his performances many times on Deadheadland. He is much beloved, and also happy to see the community turn out to offer support for him.
We shows being benefits were rather expensive, nearly double the price of the Wolf Bros last Sweetwater shows. Well the price was prohibitive for many, the shows were still sold out, primarily local heads, although many that traveled from across the country for the opportunity to see these performers in a small intimate venue. Bob Weir and Wolf brothers will be on tour in the weeks to come, beginning with the Ryman Theatre in Nashville on March 9th, 2022. More information on https://bobweir.net/
