If anyone was worried that there wouldn’t be any surprises in store from Furthur at the Furthur Festival, those fears were quickly allayed on Friday night when the band was augmented by many of their friends during a wild all-star set. Approximately 10,000 campers made it out to Mountain Aire for the three-day festival featuring Bob Weir and Phil Lesh’s latest project.

Furthur All-Star Jam – New Speedway Boogie

Over the course of Furthur’s six sets on Saturday and Sunday the group performed six classic Grateful Dead albums from front to back, giving long-forgotten tunes such as Sage & Spirit, Sunrise and What’s Become of Baby rare stage time. That’s It For The Other One was given the full treatment with each of its sections from Anthem of the Sun recreated as was the complete Terrapin Station suite. The group wasn’t only looking back at what the Dead accomplished, they also looked forward by debuting a new song with lyrics by Robert Hunter as part of Saturday’s encore.
