Video: Furthur – El Paso

Earlier today we told you about Bob Weir’s difficulties during the first set of Wednesday night’s Furthur show at the Nokia in New York City. The Furthur guitarist – and original member of the Grateful Dead – couldn’t make it through the first line of El Paso and looked to be struggling mightily with playing his axe.

Furthur – El Paso

UPDATE [7/29 – 8:34PM]: At last night’s show, Furthur’s Phil Lesh stepped to the mic and said “never drink out of something you haven’t poured yourself” and then hugged Bob Weir at the start of the gig insinuating that Weir was dosed with a psychedelic drug. Dosing a 62-year-old is just not right. [via TaperRob of the PhilZone]
