The Dead is Alive
The show was Great. I've been to several hundred & never seen a bad show, Some are better than others. The only problem I'm finding anymore is that it's getting harder & harder to get tickets that are affordable & I had all the pre-sale info. I have disabilities & that cuts out the lawn. If you can spend $500 It's no problem. After 45 years of fun it may be coming to an end.

Dead & Company Solid
I was electrified by the performance of what my friend calls "Bobby's band." The tight arrangements gave plenty of opportunities for individuals to soar. One of the best concerts I've ever seen, period.

Not impressed
Disappointed,wasn't expecting Grateful Dead,but songs were all my least faves. Bobby sang good as ever & loved Johns singing,song selection was terrible in my opinion. Almost all too slow & undanceable for me.Left early, after 3 he's,had enough

Awesome shows
With the exception of getting in or out of the area, Shoreline Amphitheatre is a wonderful place to see a show. The band sounded great and both shows were filled with classic tunes

Dead and Company
Great show, clean venue. Always a great time, not a bad seat in the house.

Another great show at Shoreline
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.

Forget the pit if you are disabled at this venue
I became temporarily disabled after purchasing Pit tickets for this show. From the beginning at Autzen Stadium this was a terrible experience with no one able to answer questions about disabled access to the pit, disabled entry line, etc. After such a great experience at the Gorge with the disability access and seating in the Pit I was appalled at a place like Eugene being so terrible. Not at all what I expected from what should have been an enlightened venue. I feel the worst for permanently disabled folks who have to deal with this sort of thing all the time. By the way, this is not my first rodeo as my first (of hundreds of) Dead show was 1978. But due to the appalling manner Autzen Stadium handled the disability access this was one of the worst shows I ever attended. Hard to listen to the music when people are tripping over my cast and cane. I will say kudos to the volunteer medics who tried to help me but couldn't.
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.
