Dead with John Mayer was as good as Bob Weir said to CBS. Strong as ever!

Dead and company were on point!
This was my 3rd time seeing dead & company at Shoreline and this time was extra special. People there just let loose and the band rocked us. Those were two amazing nights spent with my best friend and the atmosphere was very comfortable and very fun.

Dead & Company
The music was great. It was the first time I had seen John Mayer play with the band and he was amazing. One recommendation for future shows is that there should be at least one screen on the side of the stage showing the musicians playing. Yes, I love the Dead background scenes, but for those toward the back (I was in 202, row L), you really can't see the musicians. I enjoyed going out to get a beer just so that I could stand at the screens over the food venues and actually see their faces, their instruments, etc. It really should be a requirement to have one, if not two (one of each side of the stage). Tickets are not cheap so not being able to see your "heroes" do what they do best is a disappointment.

Dead took me to church
Really great show, we had the best time. It felt like therapy, to let go and connect and receive and give all at the same time. All love.

Not Dead Yet
Jerry Garcia, the reluctant leader who fused bluegrass, country, and psychedelic rock, died twenty three years ago, so how can a pop idol, who crooned syrupy songs like, "Your Body is Wonderland," step in the shoes of such an anti-hero icon to save Rock's most enduring live act from extinction? Well, Mayer has more than redeemed himself this time around, proving that his occasional forays into the blues not only informed his guitar genius, but let it blossom into the current evolution of the Grateful Dead's outdated inertia. Mayer and Bob Weir share the limelight, guitar genius, and improvisatory magic that keep the "love light" turned on and coming soon to a stadium near you. But if your expecting only hippies with a "touch of grey", guess again: Mayer has brought in millions of millennials, who upon request will even stop talking on their cell phone during that holy moment of "Dark Star", allowing for the spirituality of evening to not be completely lost. Mickey Hart, with mallets and brushes, still accents his swinging partner, Bill Kreutzman, as the aged battery still beat their polyrhythmic tribalism, getting you off your feet to dance solo with your neighbor. Newcomers on bass and keyboards team up with Mayer's younger influences to keep the improvisation fresh and edgy. The keyboardist is given plenty of room to solo in the classic Dead, boogie woogie style, and he more than pulls it off. If there is one serious critique, it's that Weir doesn't let Mayer sing all of Garcia's catalogue, but it's a glitch that can be forgiven, given Weir's love of his big brother's legacy. So if Dead and Company announce a stop in your town, get their early for a brief stint in the parking lot, spread a blanket on the lawn, and see why this San Francisco legacy, who shunned all publicity and formula, still manage to bring together and create the most eclectic Americana in rock n roll, where the audience is as important as the magic pulsating from the amplifiers.

The Dead are alive!
Seriously go see these guys before they stop touring. They are sounding very tight. Very mellow vibe and tasty jams.

Dead good; Shoreline is what it is
Once in Shoreline I was floored by what I remembered: the sea of people, the outdoor vibe, the band effectively projected, etc. Getting there sucks. Poor signage and traffic management and plain old impacted - a bummer.
Bio
DEAD & COMPANY IN CONCERT:
Deadheads rejoice! The Grateful Dead have been reborn as Dead & Company, delivering all the groovy vibes and extended jams fans know and love. Longtime Dead members Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, and Mickey Hart are joined by superstar singer/songwriter and accomplished blues guitarist John Mayer as they blend rock, folk, funk, jazz, and psychedelia to blow fans' minds with epic aural bliss. With their spacey instrumental interplay and awe-inspiring solos, the group organically weaves their way through audience favorites like "Truckin'", "Casey Jones", and "Fire on the Mountain". The long, strange trip is back on the road -- Dead & Company are bringing their positive energy and uncanny musical genius to ticket buyers everywhere.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The Grateful Dead were instrumental to the '60s psychedelic sound and hippie culture. Jerry Garcia (guitar/vocals), Bob Weir (guitar/vocals), Phil Lesh (bass/vocals), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), and Ron McKernan (keyboards/vocals) got things rolling in 1965. Excluding McKernan and Garcia, who died in 1973 and 1995 respectively, the core lineup has remained virtually unchanged sinc then. Many other musicians have helped shape the band’s sound as well, especially second drummer Mickey Hart, who joined the Dead in 1967. The band toured excessively throughout the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, famously playing sets that exceeded the three-hour mark. After Garcia's death the group soldiered on, continuing to build their legacy through fearless sonic exploration. It was not until their 50th anniversary in 2015 that the Grateful Dead decided to retire their name. Fortunately for fans, their retirement was short-lived as pop singer/songwriter and blues guitarist extraordinaire John Mayer brought Weir, Hart, and Kreutzmann back out for more legendary jam sessions. Dead & Company continues in the Dead's spontaneous and inventive musical tradition -- just the way Deadheads like it.
