A project that was years in the making, the band originally debuted these acclaimed orchestral performances during a four-night run with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in the fall of 2022. They went on to perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra as well as the Stanford Symphony Orchestra. 

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring The Wolfpack recently performed at Playa Luna Presents Dead Ahead, an all-inclusive vacation experience in Riviera Cancún, Mexico. The event celebrated the Grateful Dead songbook featuring two nights of curated collaborations themed “Dead Ahead” as well as one night of Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros featuring The Wolfpack and more.

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros have released two live albums, Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado and Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros: Live in Colorado Vol. 2, to critical praise. Both volumes feature songs recorded live at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in June 2021.

The second volume received praise from Pitchfork, who raved, “he stages some of the most beloved material in the Grateful Dead's catalog with the passion and reverence of a couple spending their 50th anniversary looking back on their wedding day,” while American Songwriter said, “Weir and the Wolfs manage to stay true to the template while also taking the music beyond any original incarnation by reinventing them in ways that find imagination and intrigue well stirred in a contemporary context.”

Weir also released Ace: 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, which features a performance from one of the band's shows at Radio City Music Hall in celebration of his beloved debut solo album, Ace. The band played the entire album live and welcomed a number of special guests, including Tyler Childers and Brittney Spencer.
