Furthur Welcomes Neal Casal And Jonathan Wilson In L.A.

Tonight, Furthur conclude what’s likely to be their last tour until at least 2015 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Last night at the L.A. Greek, the Phil Lesh and Bob Weir led band delivered a pair of sets heavy on guest spots as guitarists Neal Casal and Jonathan Wilson both sat in with Furthur.

Psych-folk artist Jonathan Wilson had sat in with Furthur in the past and even toured with Weir. Wilson emerged in the middle of the first set for takes on “Bertha” and “West L.A. Fadeaway.” Casal, a frequent guest and Lesh “friend” at Terrapin Crossroads, lent his talents to a number of songs in the second set including a cover of “Let It Ride” by his former band leader Ryan Adams. For Furthur’s encore, they brought out both Casal and Wilson for a take on “I Know You Rider.”

Here’s last night’s Furthur setlist:

Set One: Feel Like A Stranger, Friend Of The Devil, Big Bad Blues, Bertha^, West LA Fadeaway^, New Speedway Boogie, Johnny B Goode

Set Two: Scarlet Begonias* > Uncle John’s Band* > Let It Ride* > Just A Little Light > Across The Universe* > Let It Grow > Terrapin Station Suite > Fire On The Mountain*
