Warren Haynes Plays Jerry Garcia’s Wolf Guitar on Three Grateful Dead Tunes in Youngstown

Last night Gov’t Mule made their way to Youngstown Foundation Amp in Youngstown, OH. The band shared the bill and the stage with Joe Bonamassa as will occur over the next few nights as well.

The Sunday show took place on August 9, which marked the 31st anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s passing. This also concluded the commemoration of The Days Between, which begins on August 1, the date of Garcia’s birthday. Warren Haynes honored Garcia in Youngstown by performing three of his songs: “Bertha,” “Loser” and “Shakedown Street.” What’s more, Haynes played them on Garcia’s famed Wolf guitar.

The third of these tunes also featured Bonamassa’s backup singers Dannielle DeAndrea and Jade MacRae. Bonamassa himself then appeared and joined in on Jeff Beck’s “Freeway Jam.” Earlier in the set, the Mule performed Bruce Springsteen’s “Youngstown” for the first time, which was the second Springsteen tune the Mule interpreted over the recent days, following Friday’s take on “Atlantic City.”

M.C. Taylor Releases “Hissified” Versions of “Dire Wolf” and “They Love Each Other” for The Days Between

Back in October 2020, Hiss Golden Messenger’s M.C. Taylor wrote an essay that accompanied the Vinyl Me, Please Anthology The Story Of The Grateful Dead. There he explained how he eventually came to be a Grateful Dead fan, stating in part, “I think the music of the Grateful Dead has remained so constant in my life—even as my taste has evolved and other music has fallen away—because of how genuine it feels, and how vulnerable. To know even a little bit of the Dead’s history, crisscrossed by so much triumph and weird luck and tragedy, is to begin to understand their journey as something akin to a Greek myth, or perhaps an American crossroads tale in which the singer bargains for fame and fortune and poetry in exchange for his soul.”

Back in 2016, Hiss Golden Messenger visited Relix and performed “Brown-Eyed Woman” This is the same song he contributed to the Day Of The Dead compilation that came out the same year.
