Last night, Phil Lesh & Friends performed at the Sacred Rose Festival in Bridgeview, Illinois. Lots of familiar faces joined the Friends, including Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy and guitarist Nels Cline, plus Dead & Company’s Jeff Chimenti, Karl Denson, John Molo, Stu Allen, Grahame Lesh, and Elliott Peck. Together, they form the Phil Lesh X Wilco supergroup PHILCO, and last night they broke out a performance of Wilco’s “Via Chicago,” which famously appeared on Wilco’s 1999 classic Summerteeth.

Also during the set, Phil Lesh & Friends did a ton of songs by the Grateful Dead and Woody Guthrie, plus a cover of the Crickets’ “Not Fade Away,” most likely in honor of the late Crickets drummer Jerry Allison, who passed away last week at 82. Margo Price jumped onboard for “Not Fade Away” and the Dead’s “Shakedown Street.”

Watch PHILCO cover “Via Chicago” below.
