Dead & Company

• Oteil Burbridge: bass, lead and harmony vox;
• Jeff Chimenti: piano, Hammond B-3 organ, keyboards, harmony vox;
• Mickey Hart: drums;
• Bill Kreutzmann: drums;
• John Mayer: guitar, @ acoustic guitar, lead and harmony vox;
• Bob Weir: guitar, @ acoustic guitar, lead and harmony vox.

Lengthy pre show party plan made for a slightly more stressful entry today, compounded by falling for the not so express AAA line scam. Walked in at 7 on the dot. Did the hug, shake, and howdy with a gaggle of folks while sauntering in to our seats: 202L 22-23 dead center, a few rows behind the SBD. Should sound darn good here!

• Weir averts a train wreck ending on Iko by insisting on repeating the closing until they got it kind of right.
• Minglewood kind of plodding
• Ship of Fools was sweet, especially with Oteil's high verses
• Let It Grow delivered big on the jammed out ending
• Scammed my way into 101 J for the second set: the experience is so much better being up close!
• The extra long split in China/Rider was a big surprise.
• Days Between was delivered with plenty of pathos
