Listen to Phil Lesh and Friends Take Coney Island for a Ride – 9/14/2016 Full Show AUD

Phil Lesh and a special line-up of friends took over Coney Island last night for the first of two shows. The cast of friends included some familiar faces like Jackie Greene and Eric Krasno. Karl Denson, who has jammed with Phil recently on the west coast, also joined in on the fun last night. The rhythm brothers from Soulive, Neal and Alan Evans and Jason Crosby rounded out the line-up.

Denson’s contribution on the saxophone and flute give the music a whole new dimension. Jackie Greene and Eric Krasno on dueling guitars make for a great night of Dead music on a beautiful night down on the boardwalk.

Here is the setlist:

Set 1
Jam
Mason’s Children
Althea
Alabama Getaway
He’s Gone
The Other One
Dancin’ In The Street

Listen to Dead and Company’s Final Summer 2016 Show in Mountainview – 7/30/2016 HD Audio Capture

Dead and Company ended their Summer 2016 tour on a high note in Mountainview, CA. The show started off with a Help on the Way into Slipknot and then the boys threw everyone a curveball with Shakedown. Then Dead & Co launched into Cassidy which was one of the highlights of the evening. After a SOTM, Me and My Uncle and Brown Eyed Women they finally dropped Franklin’s Tower. Wow.

The second set felt like a late 60s show with Dark Star > Saint Stephen > The Eleven Jam > Saint Stephen to kick it off. Then they busted out some crowd favorites with Terrapin and one final Eyes of the World.

Deadhead and NBA HOFer Bill Walton made a surprise guest appearance on Drums during the second set. The night ended with a two-song encore including Brokedown Palace. What a beautiful end to a beautiful tour.

I can’t help but get a little sad that the tour is over, but Reddit user deadin_tx put things into perspective:

Tours end and tours begin. Thank the universe we have about 20 fine shows to dissect and discuss and then we get more dates. It’s the cycle of life in this community, but it keeps our souls yearning for that show, that run, that tour.

Thanks to Quinkfolk for this stream (and all the streams this tour!) and Reddit for the setlist:

Set 1:
Help on the Way > Slipknot > Shakedown Street
Cassidy
Standing on the Moon
Me and My Uncle
Brown Eyed Women
Franklin’s Tower
Voter Rap

Set 2:
Dark Star > Saint Stephen > The Eleven Jam > Saint Stephen > Eyes of the World > Terrapin Station > Drums > Space > Days Between > Not Fade Away

Encore:
U.S. Blues > Brokedown Palace

Instant Classic: Listen to Dead and Company’s Blazing First Show at Fenway – 7/15/2016 HD Audio Capture

Dead and Company started their two night run at historic Fenway Park in Boston last night. The special venue made for an oh-so special show. The boys treated Boston to one of their best shows of the tour.

John marked this historic by wearing what looked like a picnic blanket

Luckily John’s guitar playing was just as bold as his fashion sense. Mayer and the boys were on fire. This crew is turning out to be among the best post-Jerry ensembles we have ever seen. As Reddit user jaghutgathos said:

It took Bobby 20 years to get “his” band done proper. This is it. He’s out of Jerry’s shadow now. As leader of the band. Not just any band, but a smoking fucking band that can bring it night after night & brings freshness to the catalog.

Some of the highlights include a first set Help > Slip > Frank and the entire fricking second set.

Thanks as always to Quinfolk for the stream!

Listen to Dead and Company’s First Alpine Valley Show – 7/9/2016 HD Audio Capture

Dead and Company started off their first of two shows in Elkhorn, WI with a huge bang. The first set included a long-overdue Dire Wolf, which was a tour debut. Bobby, Mayer and the rest of the boys were on their A-game the entire set.

The second set featured another sublime Eyes of the World which kicked off a massive jam that ultimately concluded with a Help-Slip-Frank. Wow.

Add the Dylan classic “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” for an encore and you have another hell of a show.
