Mr. Bill and
I hit the road this Saturday afternoon to head to Milwaukee
for the much
anticipated Bob Weir and Ratdog show - the second on
their Spring Tour. We met up with Mr. Bill's brother (another
longtime Deadhead and Bobweir/Ratdog fan) and his wife, who
drove in from Chicago for the show, and had a delicious Thai
dinner at 'The King and I' before ambling over to The Riverside.
This was my first time at The Riverside and I was awed by
the georgeous ceilings, ornate balconies and the tapestries
that decorate this theater.
Come 8:15 and the band took to stage, tuning their way into Feel Like
A Stranger followed by Casey Jones that had the crowd cheering
and singing along with the band. One of the highlights of
the show for me was to see Mark Karan back on stage and
in fine form, especially on Little Red Rooster, the blues classic
penned by the legendary Howling Wolf. All in all, Mr. Bob
Weir and the Ratdog gang put up a fine performance One More Saturday
Night. - Ankur
