Dead & Company — the Grateful Dead offshoot with surviving members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined by John Mayer and a few others — began their tour in Charlotte earlier this month before hitting Bonnaroo and a few other cities. They didn’t repeat one song at the first four nights of the tour, but that changed last night at Camden, NJ’s BB&T Pavilion, where they did do a few that they’d played already. These sets have definitely been loaded with favorites, with “Friend of the Devil,” “Bertha,” “Playin’ in the Band,” “Shakedown Street,” “Casey Jones,” “Franklin’s Tower,” “Sugaree,” “Box of Rain,” China Cat Sunflower,” “St. Stephen,” and plenty more being broken out. At Bonnaroo, former Dead member Donna Jean Godchaux joined them on stage for a handful of songs (that’s pretty cool!). Check out the setlists and some videos from the first five nights of tour, below.
They play upstate NY tonight (6/21) in Saratoga Springs and they’ll make their way to NYC this weekend for two nights at Citi Field, Saturday (6/25) and Sunday (6/26). Tickets for both of those shows are still available. Updated dates are listed below.
Dead & Co. doesn’t include Grateful Dead member Phil Lesh, who has his own tour dates coming up, including two Coney Island shows in September.
