Bill Kreutzman Trio :: 02.13.09 :: The Independent :: San Francisco, CA

By all reports, this relatively new trio led by Grateful Dead percussionist extraordinaire Bill Kreutzmann is on fire. Billy spars with bassist Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band) and guitarist-singer Scott Murawski (Max Creek, Mike Gordon), drawing from their varied backgrounds in a most compelling way. This performance featured an opening set from New Monsoon acoustic guitar/banjo whiz Bo Carper and a guest appearance from swamp doctor Papa Mali. JamBase was lucky enough to have lens lady Sue Weiand on the spot to capture some of the magic.

Some enterprising fan put together this clip of the trio playing “Eyes of the World” at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago on April 20, 2008. Grab your hula hoop and let’s move!
