Dead and Company’s mini Fall Fun Run pulled into it’s final stop last night—Hampton, VA. While the Grateful Dead played at the Hampton Coliseum 21 times from 1979 to 1992, Dead and Company officially made their debut there last night.
Often referred to as the Mothership, Dead & Co’s poster from last night featured the Coliseum as a spaceship.

Dead and Co kicked off the first set with a “Bertha” that got the dance party started. Bobby and the crew traded “Shakedown Street”‘s typical breakneck funk for more of a jazzy swagger that pervaded the rest of the two sets.
While all the band members are firing on all cylinders, Dead and Company keyboardist Jeff Chimenti was really on fire last night.
John and Jeff built on the jazzy evening with riffing on Roger and Hammerstein’s “My Favorite Things” out of “Space.”
