If you missed Saturday night’s show at the Fillmore with ALO, you missed MK sitting in with these amazingly warm, talented, and wonderful musicians. Glide has just posted a review of the show. Special thanks to Bob Minkin for the pic. Thanks to ALO for a real good time!
“when the group invited RatDog guitarist and San Francisco native Mark Karan on stage during the second set, the decision was met with genuine, heartfelt applause. Along with RatDog, Karan has dabbled with a significant amount of groups in the jam scene, evidenced by how well he complimented Lebo’s electro-acoustic guitar licks and ALO as a whole during the stand in that included takes on Plastic Bubble and Lady Loop.”

On behalf of all of Bob Weir & RatDog, we are happy to report that we collected $1281 for relief in Haiti, thanks to everyone who threw money in the hat we passed at the opening show. Enormous thanks also go to the poker tournament both nights, who not only donated money off the top of the proceeds, but whose winners also contributed their prize earnings! We are sending a check to Doctors Without Borders, whose humanitarian work we feel will not only benefit Haiti, but other countries around the world. Go Dogheads!!!!! Your compassion inspires!!
