Bay area product Midnight North hosted an overwhelming night of music this past Friday night at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall, welcoming in the likes of Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Ryan Dempsey and Mihali Savoulidis of Twiddle, as well as their own accompanying Northbound Horns section for a true hometown get down.

Following several opening selections from their 2017 record Under The Lights, Midnight North welcomed in Twiddle’s Ryan Dempsey and Mihali Savoulidis for a cover of their band’s “Lost In The Cold.” Up next, Bob Weir got in on the action, playing the sobering, cowboy western-flavored “Only A River,” the opening tune from his 2016 album Blue Mountain.

The first stanza rounded out with Phil Lesh taking his place alongside longtime band mate Weir and his son Grahame in Midnight North, running through a sequence of the Grateful Dead’s “The Music Never Stopped,” “Playing In The Band” and “Franklin’s Tower.”

The highlights kept coming during set two as Midnight North would take on John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery” lead by the sterling vocals of Elliott Peck, Twiddle’s “When It Rains, It Poors,” the Dead’s “Mr. Charlie” and The Band’s “The Shape I’m In” with frequent Midnight North collaborator and Terrapin Family Band member Ross James.
