Dead & Company

I had a wonderful time at both shows. The Wharf Rat Meetings were GRATE. John Mayer was GRATE but I still miss Jerry. Can't wait for the next show. Wish I could hit the road as some friends do to see other shows but am kinda limited to Nor-Cal for now. One of these days. Thanks for a REAL GRATE time.

I have to remember that row 75 is really high up at this Stadium, but other then the highth issue, the concert was great. The sun set over us and the music played. The wind felt super good in our seats. It was an awesome time

Amazing show with great visuals to accompany the mastery of music that Bob Weir, John Mayer, and Co always deliver.

After just checking out the Dead and Company show at MSG on 11/1 I can honestly say that I was disappointed with the show. The pace of the show was very slow and songs like "Shakedown Street" had no pulse to it. It seems like Bobby Wier and the old Dudes like Hart and Kruetsman can't keep up with the young guys such as Mayer and Anastasio and slow down the tempo to a complete halt. The show could have been so much better is Mayer was allowed to sing more of the Jerry's songs instead of Weir having to step in. Overall the show was good but not great. It was not worth They really need to pick up the pace of the show or the should just hang it up. Don't act old if you don't want to be labeled old Weir.

If you're thinking about checking them out... stop thinking and start buying!!!

The boys did not disappoint us!! Always a great show with them!!!!

I was very disappointed by the Dead and Company in Albany NY. I literally had to fight to stay awake. They went off on these really long jam sessions, they took a hour break in between sets. The best thing was the encore because they played a couple of their great songs or a song at all, not just a 25 minute jam.

This band is incomparable. Even with the long, loopy jams, it's a transporting experience.

Hands down, this was one of the closest performances to an actual grateful dead show I have seen (since Jerry passed). John Mayer was given a lot of creative space and allowed to play full, melodic leads vs making sounds (which has been fairly typical for many of the post Jerry incarnations).The jams were meaningful and complimented the songs (like the old days ie. The playin' sounded like a playin' jam, Jed sounded like Jed, slipknot sounded like slipknot, etc), and often built in intensity and led to amazing peaks (sometimes unexpectedly) I cannot stress how melodic and in sync, this lineup is, exploring the songs in a way I have not experienced in many years. Like any show, not every moment was perfect (has it ever been?), but the frequency of sweet moments and an absolutely amazing crowd vibe made this a truly memorable show for me (brought tears of joy to my eyes). John Mayer's playing complimented the music beautifully and was getting Bobby fired up as the songs would build, driving the keys the band would transition into. Oteil sounded like he had played with the boys for years (no surprise there-I've been a big ARU fan for 20+ yrs) and really helped bring the jams to those beautiful and dark places we all adore (check out that night's help-slip-frank as an example). The interplay between oteil and Mayer during some of these moments were incredible. Billy and Mickey kept it all together as only they can truly do (billy was smiling!). Chimenti was as reliable as he always was (unofficially the Dead's 5th full time keyboardist). I came to the show excited to see the boys again, but had muted expectations about how the performance would be. I was pleasantly surprised to see them dig into the music with an intensity and execution I have not seen in very long time. I am now trying get tix for other shows on this tour as I am once again hooked big time!

It was a great show and the venue was awesome. No pushy ushers and crowd was really friendly. Parking was inexpensive and not a big hassle. Much better than shows in Worcester or Boston.

Rich sound. Everyone is on. They're tight. Mayer is stepping up, and he can play. The drums are huge. Bobby is looking and sounding strong- awesome!

Simply awesome! Dead and Company had the positive energy of back in the day!

I was surprised at how good this concert was. My only regret is that I did not get floor seats...

Outstanding, so much fun! Band having as much fun as the crowd! Long live the Dead!

The band was fully energized with an amazing first set. We were surprisingly happy with the guitar playing of John Mayer (was not a fan before this). He obviously put in a lot of time learning the songs and practicing the style of Garcia. In past I saw Mayer usually play a Fender Strat but here he used a PRS with triple humbuckers and coil splitters. Awesome guitar! Mayer's voice was a bit weak but he made up for it with his guitar. Bobby's voice was stronger than I'd heard it in some time. Could have done without his wardrobe change at intermission and those white "yachting" pants he was wearing. The band was pretty tight for a "new" band. Actually enjoyed the "Drums". Overall good song selection. The only real negative was the hour plus intermission. Way too long and the natives were getting real restless.

amazing show, Mayer cannot replace Gerry but he did such a great job.

I thought the show was awsm. they sounded electric and John Mayer sounded great. They all looked like they were having a great time. Very pleased!!

Great show with the boys! John Mayer (I am not a fan of but... ) stepped up and did a nice job.

title says it all, john mayer absolutely tore it up, when you think about guitarists for a dead show hes not in the running but don't be fooled, he blew the crowd away, great drum solos, light show , all made it a great evening, catch the show if you can

Really, who remembers when the Dead played for free...Yesteryear! Still Worth it.

Mayer is a talented guitar player. His skills as a player transcends his pop music as he is a blistering player. Bob Weir has a relationship with Mayer as they have played together. If as one reviewer says you think it's cheesy, like him stay home. I sat next to a guy at the Dear Jerry Show at Merriweather who had a criticism about nearly every band. Wrong song, wrong band, wasn't the same. Ughhhh. Jerry is gone so it goes. If you enjoy the music you do so knowing this is not the Grateful Dead, nor is it being marketed that way. Go or stay home- the music never stops!

Before you write John Mayer off, google John Mayer and Bob Weir playing Althea on the Late Late show.

How sad that so many people are judging John Mayer based on a bunch of tabloid crap. I have been a loyal fan of his since 2001, and I've seen him many times. In my 40+ years of going to concerts, he is the best guitarist I've ever seen (and I've seen all of the greats!). Also, if you were to judge his personality based on the truth, rather than what you see on TMZ and other crap sources, you would know that John is one of the sweetest, funniest, kindest, most fun, and most generous people on the celebrity stage. His "ego" is vastly overrated by the tabloids. His true fans know all of this, and love him for it. And if you know him and his work well, you know that this musical pairing is perfect and a very organic thing. Why can't people be open-minded? I'm glad that so many Deadheads are staying home though... more tickets for me!!

Grateful for more shows! I think Mayer will bring it.

... these shows aren't worth it ... I'm going to the 6-night Phil & Friends run at the Cap !

The atmosphere was electric as the sun began to set on a hot day in an iconic venue. From the opening notes of "Playing in the Band" to the culminating "Not Fade Away", Dead & Company played two sets of great songs from the Grateful Dead catalog.

Though John Mayer is not Jerry Garcia, he pulled it off. They still have the magic. Dodger stadium was definitely not suited for music. Not like Shoreline, but the band was great.

I am not a big fan of concerts at baseball stadiums. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed Dead and Company at Dodger Stadium. The band was smokin and the set list was amazing.

This is the 4th year of this incarnation of the Grateful Dead and the gelling of talents and skills has crescendoed to a heightened level from where they started on Halloween @ MSG in NYC ( I saw 2 shows @ Bill Graham Civic Aud in SF in late Dec. and every tour since! ). The merging of the 3 younger players with the 3 original members has allowed for an evolution of compositions that has leaned on strong jazz, R & B, and blues influences. John s ( Mayer ) playing is like lightening out of the bottle at this point. Jeff ( Chementi ) is killing it on the keys. Oteil ( Burbridge ) is grooving smoothly & singing more and more Jerry tunes. Bobby s ( Weir ) voice is magnificent and his playing on target. Billy ( Kreutzman )& Mickey ( Hart ) continue to absolutely amaze on their drumming and percussion work. They are the molasses that binds the joys together. Collectively , the music is soulful and played by men who love all that the Dead represent. Robert Hunter s & John Perry Batlow s lyrics resonate with each listener/dancer as they touch one s soul, if allowed , right where it is most needed. Solace, comfort , hope, coping with death and loss,...are all thematic torments of the music and story-telling. I was yet again thoroughly moved and touched by my 4 shows this year.

I was fortunate to see the Grateful Dead (with Jerry) 57 times as well as The Dead, Furthur, and now Dead & Co. The show last Saturday at Dodger Stadium was the best Dead & Co. show of the 15 shows I've seen. The set list was fantastic and the scene was great. This group just keeps getting better.

Another great show of summer tour 2018. They are sofa king gr8 I think I ll skate off to boulder to catch some more of this delicious music!!

Mayer was the perfect addition to the Dead. He absolutely killed. I would highly recommend to Dead fans and Mayer fans.

Great venue and great band. Bob sounds amazing (they all do).

It was a lot of fun. Great music. Loved the 20 minute jam sessions.

The Boys tore it up Friday night. Couldn t have been any better. Great seats. Easy parking and fast exit after the show. I give this venue a 10 rating. Had a great time.

Great show. Crazy crowd. Excellent time. Mayer is shredding

Never had the opportunity to see a west coast dead show before the loss of Jerry. Dead & Co at Shoreline surpassed all expectations.

Great show John Mayer was great. Danced my ass off forn2 days

East Bay Area of San Francisco - venue surrounded by high ranking tech firms (google) perfect dry warm evening - shoreline amphitheater - the dead counter culture amunda - John Mayer strumming Eric Clapton like - could not have found a better event that was thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to future dead and company summer tours out here on the left coast.

2 amazing nights of music ! Shoreline is my favorite Bay Area venue.

The Dead were the Dead. I think it's safe to accept John at lead guitar at this point. He's not channeling Jerry so much as the OG Dead sound. And he's good enough to make it really work. Plus the rest of the gang are figuring out how to use John Dead's own superpowers. And Oteil is just hitting it so sweet on vocals. His bass was never better. Drums and space... what can you say? Both nights were pretty amazing. And Chimenti just gets it. Smooth. Just amazing. And the family was so warm. It was awesome seeing all of you. I made many new friends, and ran into some old ones. My only complaint is the food. The specialty stalls are pretty good. But you can't get a coke on ice. And you can't get a decent bratwurst. Once they fix that, Shoreline will be back near the top. Still an awesome venue for a Dead show. Shakedown Street was the biggest I think I've ever seen. We found some good tie dye amid many friendly chats. About all I could do was smile, smile, smile.

The boys were on with a burner set list and cosmic overtones!!! nn

Amazing show! Great graphics! So much fun! Thank you.

Best post 95 show I ve seen. Only issue was crowd control on floor.

From start to finish a fine piece of work! Always pushing the limits and finding new spaces. Everyone was found dancing with wild abandon!

I m not a Deadhead, but have grown to appreciate the music over time. I m a concert goer, and try to see shows that I know display great performances. Having said that, this show was beautiful. From GD fan reviews I ve realized this was an unique show. And I feel like I felt that sentiment. I did watch the setlists ahead of time, and have done enough research to know about half of the songs ahead of time. But what I experienced was a story. A story about living life. Sometimes we need to breakdown and be embarrassed about what we do as an individual. I felt that. Sometimes we need to realize that what makes us individuals, needs to be embraced. And sometimes a person needs to build up and feel the reality of life... maybe it s loss, maybe it s yearning... maybe it s nothing. This show was a story. I felt it all. The first set had only one song that I want, Cold Rain and Snow. So I was unsure. The second set was all about psychedelia. About redefining ego. The band played a show that was beyond expectation. A show meant for remembering long after this tour/year. I m impressed by their shaping of a setlist that emotionally touches the listener. I m proud I witnessed this show, and look forward to the next... I hope they come back to Autzen, because it really was a special night. And next time will be a sold out crowd, I am certain.

These guys don t disappoint. The music and the vibe were amazing.

One of the best venues for one of best bands in the country. Truly epic

The show was as good as expected and better in other ways! Thanks for the tix upgrade to the PIT! JM and O are getting tighter w/the band and was almost note spot on all night. Wishing I had traveled South to Eugene... that set list was HOT!

Nothing on my bucket list (yes, even Red Rocks) beats the Gorge. Dead & Co. played a really mellow show. And it was still good.

Amazing show! Could use shuttles from general camping for handicap patrons. If they were there, they were very hard to find.

Dead & Co. played an awesome 2 sets on June 29, 2018. John Mayer is definitely earning his place in the band.

What a great venue and amazing night at the Gorge with Dead & Co. Very organized at all levels. Upon arriving at the campsites all the way through the weekend. The Terrace camping area was really nice, everything was clean and run very smoothly. The band was amazing, great to see the Dead moving forward and all the generations having a great time.

Great to be back. The band was great and the whole scene is much like it use to be just a lot more gray hair.

With a little rain in the beginning to cool things off, the sunset with multi colored sky in the background. With a lite breeze to ripple the river. The music seemed like it was floating on the air. No spot was a bad spot. Camping was great and everyone working the show with live nation were fantastic and friendly. Will definitely be looking forward to the Avett Brothers in September. See ya there!

Words don t work in describing The Gorge. Ad far as Dead & Company, they glowed like the gold of sunshine. Amazing+

Most excellent! Everything you'd expect and at a great setting. Only wish there was one more encore! The people watching was as much of the show as the Dead and all had a real good time. John Mayer did a fantastic job channeling Jerry. Hope they come back next year!

Everything was amazing. Premier camping is the way to go. The Gorge Amphitheater is a fantastic venue. Lawn seats are a must if you want gorgeous views. And this was one of the best Dead & Co shows I've heard. I saw them at the Gorge in 2016 as well, and both shows were phenomenal.

I have listened to the Dead since I was a kid, my folks jammed out in our Surburban. I was initially skeptical with John coming aboard, but he does a really great job filling some huge shoes. I'm very pleased that I've had this opportunity, absolutely unforgettable!

To experience an environment like that so open by the law enforcement and the kindness and respect of the fans was amazing. Truly was the best show I have experienced in my life this far.

Dead & Company were on top of their game. Wish I was able to see them again.

My first Dead concert was a show to remember. John is a great addition to this band and IMO he brings just what the Dead needed since Jerry's been gone. The whole band was fantastic. I'll be here next year (or hopefully this fall). (~);-}

Dead & Co. continue to deliver great shows at the venerable Alpine Valley. Need to work on Lot exiting and increase the WiFi in the Pavilion area.

Tough for the band to get it up two nights in a row, comes with age I guess... but that's no excuse for a poor setlist. Show management was "rusty" after a year off, mobs of people overwhelmed the few hard-working gatekeepers, folks were still coming in 30 minutes after a delayed show time! Five stars for the Deadheads though, they brought the party!!

Show overall was good! Second Set much better than the first. Shakedown to Althea, China Cat, I Know You Rider was awesome!

This was the best I've seen Dead & Company in the last two years (across four tours). They are playing together better than ever and this particular night Bob sounded great and John was really on one. Best of the four Altheas and four Sugar Magnolias I've seen and an amazing China Cat. Wisconsin's own Justin Vernon of Bon Iver guested on the last three of the first set and gave his touch to a lovely Black Muddy River. You could tell they knew they were having a night. Alpine Valley could definitely use help dealing with the crowds (gate 1 was a cluster--the others were decent), but getting to hang out with 30,000 Deadheads in an iconic location was still worth the trek.

Really am enjoying this incarnation of the Dead experience. Wish I was doing whole tour!

It was the best of the seven times I ve seen Dead and Company. This mix of musicians is something to see. If you like the music see the band it s the closest you ll get to the music and the Dead family is the best.

This was the best Dead & Company show I've seen yet! The band is tight & cohesive, and continuing to one-up themselves with each show! I am so happy to have purchased a Pit-Pass, and have the opportunity to be standing by the stage! I hope the original members have a tour or two left in them!

If you go to Blossom, buy the parking pass if you don t want a 25 min 1.5 mike hike from the outer fields. Plus side it took us only 15 min to get out of the field. The band was awesome. Since 1983 that I saw the dead. John Mayer, you are da Man! Played 2 sets close to 4 hrs total. Loved every minute. Thanks

There is nothing better than a Grateful Dead Show!

Top notch show highlighted by a tremendous Scarlet / Fire and a crowd rousing He s gone. Better traffic too!

As compared to last years CLUSTER,well organized and thru security with out a hitch as last year in which I missed the first 4 songs.So they get a Thumbs-up for LEARNING!! A spectacular show, great seat and met wonderful Merry Tribe Pranksters. Awesome set list. Loved Fire on the Mt., Deal, and Knocking. My annual summer tour reignited my soul for humanity. Thanks Bobby and Company for this. Best Band in the World and Luv U guys....Peace!! OLDSKOOL!!

Boys seemed loose and happy. Short set after drums and space but a solid show. Setlist doesn t do this show justice.

Super smooth entrance , right in ! Great sound ... couldn t have asked for a better night with the Dead!!

SPAC is a perfect place for a summertime Dead concert (MSG is the perfect winter stop). Great space, good sound and a mellow crowd. 1st set was bookended by the best Jack Straw and Cassidy since they've been performing, but in between was a snoozer. They hit their groove throughout the 2nd set, opening with The Weight, into Truckin' and through an excellent, non-stop mix. I even liked Drums/Space. 5 new songs all told.

I have not seen this Band for about 2 years so I thought it was time. They put on an amazing show! The sound was the best I have heard in a long time and the venue was a great place to hear them. The one big thing I liked about the venue is the fact they do not charge to park. Reviewer Images: (click to see full-size image) Close Opening song Was this review helpful to you?

This show by far exceeded by expectations. Not only was it a beautiful day and the music was awesome but the production completely blew my mind. Gone are the days of a few sails along the stage with some geometric lights. The screens were amazing and I completely felt like I was on a journey a "trip" if you will. I brought my niece and her boyfriend. There is no way I could have prepared them for what we were about to see and hear! My husband said it best indescribable beauty.

Show was excellent. They brought some old songs that I had not heard for years.

Great night up until they walked off stage in the second song of the second set. If it is a rain or shine event how can they walk off and not finish I bought 3 $149 tickets and didn t get a compete show. Now I hear live nation is doing a 2/1 at citi field but I haven t gotten an email to do this, why not ?

The venue was awesome as always! Dead and Co. were amazing! Bob Weir and John Mayer together were magical. Best show I ve ever been too, almost want to quit my job and tour with Dead and Co. not sure how my kids would feel about that. AMAZING SHOW FROM AN AMAZING BAND

An amazing show from beginning to end! Can't wait to see them again.

The music all deadheads love. Alas, Jerry has been gone for 23 years. This is a new band and the music is terrific.

I was skeptical going in but was thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend you get to a show and see for yourself!

Phenomenal show!! Set list was off the hook! Can t wait til Alpine Valley!

When the Dead start a show with The Other One and finish with Casey Jones...what more needs to be said... Deer Creek (old name but best name) always a great venue...Shakedown Street in parking lot was fun ... no authorities wandering around to put a damper on the fun....

The venue had some really nice updates. There is an entire section of new added bathroom. I noticed there were also a lot more food and drink options. I do believe that the food and drinks are way over priced. However, Dead & Company was so good! This was my first time at a Dead event and I will continue to go to the shows when they are in the area!

Highly recommended if they come to your town.Great experience.

Had a blast waited 28 years to see the Dead live could not have asked for more

WOW!!! The set list was off the charts!!! My twin sister flew in from Florida for the show and we had not been to a show since 95! We shook a tail feather! "He's Gone" was off the charts. Very special song between my twin and I and we couldn't believe that we got a lot of the songs that we were hoping to hear! We loved how Dead and Company kept teasing us with a few cords from "China Cat Sunflower!!!!" We would look at each other with our eyes popped out of our heads every time they teased us with it!! That's what is so great about their shows! You never know when they will steal your face right off your head!!!! Thank you Dead and Company <3

4th time seeing the Dead and Company tour in the last 3 years and bar far the best show. They are playing great together and making amazing music!!

We lost more then half 2nd set. I've seen Dead&Company every show in Philly & Camden. I am a true Dead Head with Jerry and Now Bobby and John. It really sucked not seeing whole show. Hope when they come back they will throw in a few more songs for us Saturday night troopers.

The show was going great until the band took a long break ahead of what event staff should have seen coming, a cold front and thunder storm. They stopped playing a few minutes into the second set and never came back out. We waited on the lawn in the storm for almost 40 minutes in a downpour until they announced the show was over early. They could have fit the second set in if they planned accordingly.

The show stopped. We paid for rain or shine tickets.

Regardless of the things out of our control- the weather; the show was amazing!!!! Nothing makes me happier than seeing Bobby, Mickey, Bill, Otiel, Chris, and my future husband John Mayer, jam and soothe my soul with their musical genius!

Dead were great. I just wish there was more vocals. John Mayer &. Bob Weir were unbelievable

It's thrilling to have these experiences again! Ain't no time to hate...

Sorry fellas- this was not the best show and I hope the tour improves. I ve been following the Dead in one form or another since 1968; this is the first time I have not seen them do an encore. Shakedown rocked but meh first set. Second set some amazing guitar by Mayer and Oteil as always. Unfortunately I won t have the opportunity to see another show on this run to compare. Knowing these guys they will get into their summer rhythms .

Let s face it - first show of the tour is going to have it s technical challenges and Weir s singing voice comes and goes as expected. There were improvisational branches that led to dead ends and some that were pure genius. Any way you slice it the fusion of jazz, rock, psychedelic anthems, and experimentation never leave you disappointed at the concerts end except we selfishly want more. Dance, dance, dance.

This IS the Grateful Dead with Mayer/Burbridge instead of Garcia/Lesh...

Great security here weren t forcing people to show tickets everywhere
