This past Friday at the Fox Theater Oakland featured three rockin’ Bay Area groups.

“The Pride of San Francisco”, a nickname bestowed upon Jackie Greene by legendary Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh during Greene’s years playing in Phil & Friends, headlined the show with a three-set performance. After a more traditional first set and second that was all acoustic, the third boasted a suite of Dead covers, as Greene once again channeled the role of Jerry Garcia while performing the classic songs in his own style.

Led by Tim Bluhm, local legends The Mother Hips got the evening started along with Oakland’s own fast-rising Tumbleweed Wanderers before Greene took the stage and we were there to capture it all.
