Bob Weir is taking us back to the Basie this week.

Weir's March 13, 2019, performance at the Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center for the Arts will stream for free at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, via nugs.tv and Weir's Facebook page.

The online broadcast is part of Weir's Weir Wednesday streaming series; fans are asked to consider making a donation to Musicares' COVD-19 relief fund.

Wednesday's featured show was the first of a two-night stand at the landmark Monmouth County theater, and saw Weir backed by his Wolf Bros. rhythm section of Don Was on bass and Jay Lane on drums and harmony vocals.

Highlights from the show included the surprising bust-out of "The Winners" — a solo number Weir debuted at the former Capitol Theatre in Passaic in 1984 and had previously most recently played in 2014 — as well as a blissful acoustic rendering of the full "Weather Report Suite" from 1973's "Wake of the Flood."

This week's stream should serve as some comfort for Garden State Deadheads following last week's news that this summer's highly anticipated Dead and Company tour, including a planned Aug. 1 bow at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, had been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Deadheads looking for a virtual concert experience while at home during the global coronavirus pandemic have several weekly options. In addition to Weir Wednesdays, Dead and Company's One More Saturday Night streams weekly on the band's YouTube channel and Facebook page, and the Grateful Dead is hosting Shakedown Stream Fridays on its YouTube page.
