2018 Full Show Video

Keller Williams, the barefoot jam-band journeyman set up shop at Garcia’s, the smaller of two venues at The Capitol Theater for a Jerry Garcia Birthday party. The sold-out show was webcast for free thanks to Relix.

Keller is very familiar with the Grateful Dead catalogue as he two of his side projects in the past have included Grateful Grass and Grateful Gospel.

From the opening “Run for the Roses,” you knew that this was going to be a very special evening of GD and Jerry tunes. Keller went on to share plenty of Grateful and Jerry classics. Check out the second set opening “Help on the Way > Eyes of the World > Franklins Tower.”

Some of the highlights include a killer ’77-style solo during “Loser,” a gorgeous “Cassidy,” the third “Help > Slip > Frank” second set opener of the tour, a rip-roaring “Viola Lee Blues” and a heart-breaking “Wharf Rat” with Mayer on vocals.

Watch Highlights From Dead and Company’s Second Show in Boston

Dead and Co hit the TD Garden for their second show in Boston after taking a night off. No surprises here—John Mayer and the crew delivered another killer show.

Some of the highlights include Mayer digging into “Dire Wolf,” a gorgeous “Brokedown Palace” encore, Oteil taking the lead of “Comes a Time,” and a face-melting “Morning Dew” out of “Space.” During the final show of the Dew, Mayer looks as if he could go on for hours, but Bobby knows better and pulls him in. One of the other highlights that hasn’t surfaced yet is Mayer pulling double-duty as Donna and doing the “OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOYEAAAAAAHAAAAAAYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” wail.

Thanks to Jam Buzz contributor Jamey Klein who had front row seats, albeit with a bit of an obstructed view. One of the cool things about his seats was the front row view of the ASL (American Sign Language) interpreter. Even the hearing-impaired get love at a Dead show!
