Bob Weir, rhythm guitarist for the Grateful Dead, is playing two shows at Tower Theatre in Upper Darby this week with his faithful band Ratdog. The Friday show also happens to fall on Bobby's birthday.
The show is on Friday October 16th and and encore will be the next day. Doors open at 8p.m. and you can pick up a ticket for 40.00 at LiveNation.com. Grated, buying from LiveNation will cost you an additional $10 or so due to their bullshit "processing fees", but it should be worth it. Tower Theatre is within walking distance from the 69th Street station and, for those of you in the West Chester area, is a mere $2.50 bus ride on the Septa. Although Ratdog has been reprimanded for not sticking to the Dead songs we all know and love, personal experience has proved that 20 minute versions of Dark Star and the beloved Wharf Rat are almost sure to make an appearance.
Also coming to the Tower Theatre soon is the Australian Pink Floyd Show. Tickets go for $45.00-$55.00 and doors open at 8p.m. on October 23. Although I've never seen them, I've read multiple reviews praising not only their sound but also the accompanying light show. I have, however, seen another Pink Floyd tribute band called The Machine, and if the Australian version is anything similar, it is sure not to disappoint.
Other notable acts this month at the Tower include Gov't Mule on Halloween, Steely Dan (November 20), and John Fogerty (November 28).
