Philco — the one-off supergroup led by the Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh alongside Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Nils Cline, Margo Price, and more — made their debut Friday night at Chicago’s Sacred Rose Festival
The concert, which coincided with Tweedy’s 54th birthday, saw the Wilco frontman take lead vocals on Dead classics like “Dire Wolf,” “U.S. Blues,” “Franklin’s Tower,” and “Ripple.”, the Philco lineup was rounded out by Dead and Company keyboardist Jeff Chimenti, guitarists Stu Allen and Grahame Lesh, vocalist Elliott Peck, longtime Lesh drummer John Molo, and saxophonist/flutist Karl Denson.
While the set was mainly comprised of Dead songs, Philco did bust out covers of songs by Woody Guthrie , Buddy Holly and Wilco’s “Via Chicago,” with Tweedy appropriately taking lead for that performance: Sacred Rose Festival continues this weekend with sets from Goose, Umphrey’s McGee, Kamasi Washington, Dawes, STS9 and more.
