The first AmericanaramA tour kicked off at West Palm, Beach, FL’s Cruzan Amphitheatre last night. In addition to tour staples Bob Dylan, Wilco and My Morning Jacket, last night’s show featured a special opening set from Bob Weir (who will appear at select AmericanaramA shows before heading on the road with Furthur.) Like his first comeback gig after Furthur cancelled their appearance at Bottle Rocket following an incident at Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre in April, Weir opened his set with “Easy to Slip.” He then offered solo versions of “Peggy-O,” “KC Moan,” “Loose Lucy,” “Dear Prudence” and “Not Fade Away.”

My Morning Jacket played next, and they ran through a mixture of material recorded throughout their career. Opening with the newer song “Circuital,” they charged through the likes of “Outta My System,” “I’m Amazed,” “Golden,” “Evelyn Is Not Real,” “The Way That He Sings,” “War Begun,” “Gideon” and a show-closing “One Big Holiday,” among other tunes.

Then, Wilco took the stage for a unique set that also nodded to their various eras. The band surprised fans by opening their set with “At My Window Sad and Lonely.” Wilco first recorded their arrangement of the unreleased Woody Guthrie song for Mermaid Avenue in the late ’90s and busted out the tune for the first time since 2011 at North Adams, MA’s Solid Sound festival this past weekend. The number took on added meaning given Bob Dylan’s deep history with Guthrie. (According to legend, Dylan was supposed to receive some lost Guthrie lyrics around the time of the folk icon’s death but had the door shut on him when he went to Woody’s house to receive them.) Later on, they also brought out Bob Weir to perform on both the Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” and the reworked Guthrie bit “California Stars.” Dead bassist Phil Lesh sang with Wilco on “Ripple” at the Mountain Air Festival in 1999, and Wilco busted out the American Beauty classic during their all-request Solid Sound set on Friday night. Last night’s sit in was Weir’s first appearance with Wilco, though the Dead guitarist has performed with Nels Cline in the past.

Bob Dylan headlined the evening with his band. Though the icon has hinted at future collaborations with his tour companions, last night’s set remained guest-free. He opened his show with “Things Have Changed,” and stuck to his his rearrangements of “Love Sick,” “High Water (For Charley Patton),” “Soon after Midnight,” “Early Roman Kings,” “Tangled Up in Blue,”
“Duquesne Whistle,” “She Belongs to Me,” “Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,” “Simple Twist of Fate” and “All Along the Watchtower.” His encore consisted of “Thunder on the Mountain” and “Ballad of a Thin Man.”

The traveling AmericanaramA tour continues in Tampa, FL this evening.
