Dead and Company finished their Texas-two-step last night in Austin at the Frank Erwin Center. Their show in Dallas was hard to top, but Austin got a nearly flawless show last night.

Some of the highlights included a “Ramble on Rose” with swagger, another monster “Sugaree” to finish out the first set, and an incredible second set. From the opening notes of “China Cat Sunflower” to the closing “Morning Dew,” the second set was pound for pound one of the best sets of the fall tour. Give a listen to John’s layering with Bobby in the last solo during “Morning Dew”—these guys have come so far since the fall of 2015!
