Monday’s Hors d’Oeuvres: Furthur More

As we mentioned on Friday, the members of Furthur played a warm-up gig at the tiny 19 Broadway nightclub in Fairfax, CA. The ensemble tackled an array of Dead classics, a cover of The Beatles’ Hey Jude and the second-ever performance of a new song by Phil Lesh – Welcome to the Dance.

Finally, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band wrapped a two-year world tour last night in Buffalo. The group performed all of Greetings From Asbury Park as well as a few choice rarities, a batch of classics they play every show and a few inspired covers. While rumor has it the Buffalo show was the last E Street Band show ever, Springsteen ended the show by telling the crowd “We appreciate you coming out to see the E Street Band. So we’re gonna say goodbye, but just for a little while… a very little while.”
