The Waybacks and Bob Weir, 2006

Here are three shows of the Waybacks with Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead as a guest. There are also other guests like Sam Bush on mandolin, and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. I'm sure the folks at Merle Fest were quite surprised when the Waybacks set got extended into these fun jam sessions. Friday night on the main stage, the group, along with Bob Weir, performed a great set of Waybacks originals, Grateful Dead songs and covers including the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows", the Rolling Stones "19th Nervous Breakdown." and "The Last Time" and Bob Dylans "Like A Rolling Stone". The "St. Stephen" > "The Eleven" > "Last Time" all jammed together for me is the highlight. The second show was played Saturday night on the Hillside Stage The 45 minutes that were scheduled turned into almost two hours of jamming. Again they play Waybacks originals and Greatful Dead songs and some great covers including Led Zeppelins "Kasmir", The Bands "The Weight" and Dylans " All Along The Watchtower". This time with Sam Bush on mandolin. And all recorded from a nice FM radio broadcast. Need I say more? You need to check this out!

The Waybacks are:
JAMES NASH: lead guitar, mandolin, vocals
STEVIE COYLE: rhythm, fingerstyle & lap steel guitar, vocals
JOE KYLE, JR: standup bass, vocals
CHUCK HAMILTON: drums & percussion
WARREN HOOD: fiddle, mandolin, vocals
