Bob Weir throwback for the Jazz Fest Deadheads

Photographer Erika Goldring documented his most recent appearance in New Orleans with the Wolf Brothers last March.

Jazz Fest season sees the annual return of followers of all things Grateful Dead to New Orleans as the festival and its accompanying nightlife still steers into the jam aesthetic that the band made its signature. In March, photographer Erika Goldring shot Dead guitarist Bob Weir last March when he came to New Orleans to play The Fillmore with The Wolf Brothers--Don Was on bass and Ratdog's Jay Lane on drums. Here are the highlights. Click on the photos to see them in a viewer.
