Furthur performed at Fairfax, VA’s George Mason University Patriot Center last night. The show fell on St. Patrick’s Day and the members of Furthur surprised the crowd by delivering their first take on the traditional Irish song “Whiskey in the Jar.” Jerry Garcia and David Grisman recorded a version of the song for their Shady Grove album and the Grateful Dead released a 1993 rehearsal of the song as part of the So Many Roads box set. Though part of the Dead family canon, The Grateful Dead never performed the song live. Furthur will perform at Upper Darby, PA’s Tower Theater tonight.
