Bobby & The Midnites emerged as a noteworthy ensemble in the early 1980s, led by the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir. Distinguished by their dynamic blend of rock and jazz-rock fusion, the group carved a unique niche within the music scene. Their discography, albeit concise, features two albums that encapsulate their experimental and genre-blending sound. However, it was their electrifying live performances that truly showcased their musical prowess. With a rhythm section boasting the talents of jazz veterans Billy Cobham and, for a period, Alphonso Johnson, Bobby & The Midnites transcended traditional rock boundaries, offering captivating live shows that resonated with fans of both rock and jazz-fusion alike.
