Bob Weir continues to prepare for his first-ever solo acoustic tour, which kicks off in Knoxville on August 2, with a few intimate performances including a set last night at a benefit for Save Japan Dolphins that took place at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, CA.

Bob Weir – Intro & Music Never Stopped
Weir spoke about the Save Japan Dolphins campaign along with his sister-in-law race car driver Leilani Munter before performing five classic Grateful Dead songs, Corrina and a Bob Dylan cover. Bobby started his unaccompanied set with The Music Never Stopped and a Zimmy tune he has been playing on acoustic for decades, When I Paint My Masterpiece. From there, the Furthur guitarist offered his Lost Sailor > Saint of Circumstance song suite, a take on Hunter/Garcia’s Loose Lucy, the aforementioned Corrina and a set-closing Ripple.
