Grateful Dead

Bruce Hornsby—master of keys, conjurer of melodies, keeper of smiles. Seventy revolutions around the sun for this Virginia-born troubadour whose hands have not merely played the piano but wove dreams into chords, lifting souls from sea to sky. On this day, we pause to celebrate the man, the music, and the stories he’s spun like gold through decades of musical alchemy.

On Wednesday, November 13, Bob Weir and The Wolf Bros, complete with the horn section known as The Wolf Pack, brought their stripped-down renditions of the Grateful Dead catalog to the historic Cincinnati Music Hall. This show, however, was unlike any prior Wolf Bros concerts in previous tours. The band was joined by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, led by conductor John Morris Russell, in an elegant evening of classical renditions of Weir’s familiar tunes.

They’re not the best at what they do. They’re the only ones that do what they do.”

Bill Graham’s famous observation in the 1970s about The Grateful Dead was certainly true at the time. In hindsight today, roughly fifty years after Graham’s renowned declaration (it’s difficult to pin down exactly when he said it), both the insinuation of the Dead’s supremacy and the certainty of their exclusivity are debatable.

The Livery, Benton Harbor’s premier live music venue, is known for hosting the best holiday events.
