Today’s Presidential flashback takes us to January 20, 1997 at the Washington Convention Center where California, Hawaii, Alaska celebrated their inaugural ball for the re-elected President Clinton. Bob Weir & RatDog performed that night with special guest Rickie Lee Jones.

This version of RatDog featured Weir, Rob Wasserman, Jay Lane, Johnnie Johnson, Matthew Kelly, Dave Ellis and Mookie Siegel. President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton greet the crowd in the second clip below just prior to a cover of Van Morrison’s “Into The Mystic” and then dance during the song.
