Dawes’ and Lucius’ Joint Shows Reset the Bar for What a Collaborative Tour Can Be: Concert Review
Dawes and Lucius hooked up for a joint tour that saw them collaborating and trading numbers throughout, testifying to the joy of collaboration.
Although elaborate advanced notifications of how things would go down didn’t hurt, the Tag Team Tour moniker was a decent indication that this would not be your stock “we’ll alternate headlining status” kind of two-band bill, but that the two artists would be hunting for glory in the slight humility of a completely shared space for the better part of three hours. Lucius also brought in their longstanding version of the Grateful Dead’s “Uncle John’s Band,” serious rearranged in every melodic way to create an interesting space for female harmonies, finding Goldsmith to be a good, complementary Deadhead as he traded lead guitar lines with slide specialist Trevor Menear. Goldsmith , for his part, also has a “plays well with others” reputation, extending from his cohort role in the “New Basement Tapes” Dylan-reclamation project a decade back to his participation in the handful of public Joni Jams (not to mention augmenting wife Mandy Moore’s musical endeavors).
