Dead & Company Debut “Tangled Up In Blue” Cover To Wrap Weekend Four At Sphere [Videos]

Useless & Firm closed one other weekend at Sphere on Saturday with the band’s first-ever tackle Bob Dylan traditional “Tangled Up in Blue”. The quilt opened the Grateful Useless offshoot’s twelfth of 18 exhibits in Las Vegas, ending their fourth weekend run of the 2025 Dead Forever residency.

Bob Weir dealt with lead vocals on the Jerry Garcia Band-favored cowl off Dylan’s 1975 Blood on the Tracks. In typical Bobby model, the Grateful Useless’s elder statesman delivered the tune in a really conversational model, as if he had been telling you a narrative that simply so occurred to rhyme. Jerry Garcia ringer John Mayer threw in a tasteful solo or two, however the lyrics had been the main focus of this newest addition to the Useless & Firm songbook.

“Tangled Up in Blue” marks the fourth Useless & Firm debut of this 12 months’s Sphere residency. On March twentieth, the Grateful Useless offshoot that includes Weir, Mayer, Mickey Hart, Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge, and Jay Lane opened their second-annual keep on the groundbreaking Sin Metropolis spectacle with their first cowl of The Spencer Davis Group‘s “Gimme Some Lovin’”. The following week, the band honored late Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh with the debut of The Band guitarist/lyricist Robbie Robertson‘s “Broken Arrow“—a cover Lesh adopted with the Dead in the mid-’90s. Then final week, Useless & Co added Jimmy Cliff reggae traditional “The More durable They Come” to the catalog, that includes Oteil Burbridge on vocals.
