My first Dead show ever and it was amazing!
First time seeing the Dead live. People have told me that the live recordings are better than just the songs and I didn't believe them, but boy was I wrong. Live was a billion times better than the album version. It was a two part jam sesh of the funkiest shredding I've ever heard in my life!

Love Dead and Co.
I enjoyed second show much more than 1st, more energy. Both special nights with great crowd and lots of fun. For, seats at Shoreline rather than the lawn are a must.

Shoreline Traffic/Parking is a Hassle
Traffic congestion really is an issue that makes the whole Shoreline experience disappointing and frustrating. They should set up shuttles from local BART stations before and after the show to ease the traffic.

Just Incredible, incredible
Wow, they getting tighter and playing more awesomely with the passing of each year! Both shows were wonderfully incredible! I liked Monday's show a bit more than Tuesday's but the latter was filled with surprises and no one could guess what song would be next! Loved it! What I did not enjoy so much was the approach of the City of Mtn View employees/security trying so hard to push everyone out of the parking lot with their "goon squad" approach - give a person a 'uniform' a radio and a flashlight/baton and watch them transform into an authority ........I have never experienced that before at a Dead or Dead & Co. event ....I get that everyone needs to leave, eventually, but what's the rush? Oh well, enjoyed the Love and Community again, such good people with lots of respect and caring for one another. John Mayer you are far-out man!

Dead & Co. July 2nd Shoreline
Great show. They are not the Dead but very enjoyable. John has come a long way since the first show of the tour. They did an excellent job on the songs they did, but they need to select a few more songs that are not so slow. Throw in a Big River or Promised Land instead of all slower songs like The Other One. I sure miss Jerry!
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.
