Last night Furthur opened up its fall tour with a performance at Verizon Wireless Arena Manchester, NH. The evening was well-received, based on Dan Berthiaume’s review, which now appears on the site. To mark the occasion, Relix.com has posted its March 2011 Furthur cover story, written by site editor Dean Budnick, which charts the band’s origins and development. In addition, the Relix Live Fridays series offers music from both Furthur and the Dead.

Tonight, it’s on to Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, ME for the group.
