Jackie Greene celebrated his 30th birthday this past Saturday with a guest-heavy, three-set show at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium. The singer/songwriter’s guest list for the performance nodded to his various projects over the years, boasting appearances by Tim and Nicki Bluhm, Phil Lesh, John Molo, Mark Karan, Jeff Chimenti and Jorgen Carlson, among others.

Greene opened the night with a solo rendition of one of his better known songs, “Gone Wanderin.‘” The singer/songwriter was then joined onstage by his guitarist Nate Dale for a version of “Don’t Let The Devil Take Your Mind.” Soon after, the rest of the Jackie Greene Band emerged for a full electric set that came to a close with “Tell Me Mama, Tell Me Right” and “Like A Ball And Chain.”

The husband and wife duo Tim and Nicki Bluhm joined Greene and the members of his band for the show’s second set. In addition to co-owning the Mission Bells studio in San Francisco, Greene and Bluhm occasionally play together as the Skinny Singers. The short set featured such songs as “Going Home Again” and “Infinity Blues” as well as a heartfelt speech from Tim Bluhm and a balloon drop.

Greene’s third and final set focused on his recent work with Phil Lesh and the extended Grateful Dead family. He performed with an all-star band that included: Dale, drummer John Molo (Phil Lesh & Friends, Bruce Hornsby, The Other Ones), bassist Jorgen Carlson (Gov’ Mule), guitarist Mark Karan (RatDog, The Other Ones) and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti (Furthur, RatDog, The Dead). Through his with stint in Phil Lesh & Friends and tours as an opening act for RatDog and Gov’ Mule, Greene has collaborated with all the musicians in the past three years. Saturday’s third set focused on some of classic rock covers he’s played with the musicians like JJ Cale’s “After Midnight,” Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61” and a medley of the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “Taxman.”

Partway through the set, Phil Lesh emerged for a handful of Grateful Dead songs: “Scarlet Begonias,” “Bird Song, “New Speedway Boogie,” “Sugaree,” “Help on the Way,” “Slipknot!” and “Franklin’s Tower.” As a treat, Niki Bluhm and noted booking agent Jonathan Levine both joined the ensemble on “Sugaree.” (Levine has played drums with Lesh on a few occasions.) The birthday boy then closed the night with a solo take on “Sweet Somewhere Bound.”
