Dead and Company reprised their fall fun run with a two-city New Years run that included stops in LA and San Francisco. At the Chase Center in SF, Bob Weir, Billy Kruetzmann, Mickey Hart, John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti delivered three, jam-packed sets to welcome in 2020.

The three sets enabled Dead & Co to legally fit in both a “Help > Slip > Frank” and a “Scar > Fire.” Other highlights include “Eyes of the World,” “Estimated Prophet,” “Sugaree,” and so many more.

Before the clock struck midnight, Garcia’s daughter Trixie Garcia and her half-sister, Ken Kesey’s daughter Sunshine Kesey, flew above the crowd in the arena in a bi-plane. The ladies and flapper dancers on stage were dressed in 1920s attire as they welcomed the 2020s.
