Watch moe. Welcome Midnight North’s Grahame Lesh For Rare Grateful Dead Cover At The Cap

moe. wrapped their run at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York on Saturday. The band welcomed Grahame Lesh from opening band Midnight North for a cover of Grateful Dead classic “Cassidy,” a song moe. had not played in over 20 years.

As they did on Friday, moe. continued to break out songs from their 2002 holiday album Season Greetings From moe. The sextet kicked off night two at The Cap with the Jewish traditional “Oh Hanukah,” which the band had not played since December 3, 2016 for a total gap of 323 shows, according to Phantasy Tour.

moe. continued the setlist curated by bassist Rob Derhak with keyboardist Nate Wilson’s “Yellow Tigers” followed by percussionist Jim Loughlin’s instrumental “Jazz Cigarette.” The group then went seamless on “Buster,” “Skating” and beloved Peanuts song “Linus and Lucy,” the latter also on Seasons Greetings and originally written by jazz pianist Vincent Guaraldi.

The band would then go from “New York City” to the “ATL” before welcoming Grahame Lesh for first frame closer “Cassidy,” which moe. had not played since February 22, 2003 at The Fillmore in San Francisco where they were joined by Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir marking moe.’s debut of the Weir/John Barlow classic.

At The Cap, Grahame handled lead vocals and played guitar on “Cassidy” with moe. guitarist Al Schnier singing harmony. A buoyant jam ensued ahead of a rousing conclusion. Watch moe. welcome Grahame Lesh for “Cassidy” below:

The second set got underway with a nearly 15-minute rendition of Rob’s “Plane Crash” followed by a nearly 20-minute version of guitarist Chuck Garvey’s “Four.” Derhak’s “Ups and Downs” came next. The song apppears on the bassist’s solo pandemic album, Songs for Other People, with the band debuting it earlier this year.

Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter” followed before the group got into a substantial outing on “George.” A continuous block of “Mar-Dema,” “Tubing The River Styx” and “The Pit” sealed the second set. moe. returned to encore with Seasons Greetings’ “Blue Christmas,” made popular by Elvis Presley, before wrapping The Cap stand with “Downward Facing Dog.”
