Dead and Company landed in Camden, NJ for the first of two shows last night after they kicked off their tour in Mansfield, MA.

After four years under their belt, Weir, Mayer and the rest of the boys showed they still had a couple of tricks up their sleeves. Camden was treated to two debuts on night one, one in each set. The first set included Dead and Co’s first ever “Jack-A-Roe” and the second set included a cover of Paul Simon’s “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes.”

Also noteworthy about Dead and Co’s setlist last night was that they started the first set with “Jack Straw” and ended the set with a “Jack Straw Reprise.” The second set started with “Not Fade Away” and ended with “Not Fade Away.” Two delicious sandwiches, but who are we kidding – we’re still hungry for more!
