Bob Weir sat-in with Bay Area funk outfit Vinyl last night at his recently reopened Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, CA. Billed as a benefit for the Rainforest Action Network, the concert, which featured a reception along with live music and dancing, was co-hosted by a list of local luminaries that included Weir and his wife Natascha, Bonnie Raitt and more. Weir sat in with the band on “Turn On Your Lovelight,” which you can watch in the video below as well as “Little Red Rooster” and “All Along The Watchtower.”

The Rainforest Action Network (RAN), which is headquartered in San Francisco, CA, seeks to align the policies of multinational corporations with widespread public support for environmental protection.

Are Phil & Bobby in friendly competition with their venues? Whats the vibe?

So far as I know, Phil plays in Phil’s venue. All sorts of people play in Bobby’s. So far, anyway.

All sorts of people play in Phil’s venue, and all sorts of people play in Bobby’s. Two totally different ventures. Bobby revived the Sweetwater, and Phil had his own vision of a music/hall-restaurant etc.
doesn’t have to be a competition thing….room for many songs to fill the air in many places.
