This Billy and the Kids show was a fun mix of Grateful Dead classics, and some fun covers, including some surprises, like The Cars Let The Good Times Roll and Harry Styles Sunflower, Vol.6. Guest Molly Tuttle got to sing several songs, such a treat, and she joined the band for much of the first set on acoustic guitar, and all of the second set on electric.

A big highlight was James Casey’s vocals on the Bob Dylan song Forever Young.

This is the 1st performance from Billy and The Kids in 2023. With the sudden announcement that Bill K is not part of Dead & Company’s “Final Tour” there is lots of rumor about more shows from this line-up, and Billy hinted as such in the interview footage (above).

Bob Dylan does Bob Weir’s “Only a River” on 4/20/23 in Japan

Bob Dylan does Bob Weir’s “Only a River” on 4/20/23 in Japan

Bob Dylan – Only A River (Live) April 20, 2023 – Nagoya, Japan (Aichi Prefectural Art Theater)

Only a River is a song recorded by Bob Weir off of his album Blue Mountain – it was written by Josh Ritter

“I am speechless”, Josh Ritter (@joshritter) retweeted when he got the note that Bob Dylan sang ‘Only A River’ in Nagoya, Japan on April 20, 2023. And he added “I wrote that song in the stairwell of my dorm in college, 25 years ago. Music is a blessed traveler.” Next day he tweeted “When I learned yesterday that Mr. Dylan had sung a song that I’d written, I was washed over with a feeling that that can only be described as a cousin of vertigo. So many songs, and all of them rambling around out there. Somehow, this one found Dylan’s pasture. How beautiful. I wrote Only a River in my dorm in college. Like all my favorites, it came unbidden, and I just wrote it down. Many years later, as I got the amazing opportunity to work with Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, this song rose to the top of the pack, asking to be let out the door. I sent it to Weir and Josh Kaufman, who beautifully arranged and recorded and performed the song that Dylan eventually must have heard”.
