While Dead and Company really opened their tour back in San Francisco with their free show, the official date was June 10th. A couple of recordings of the show of since popped up, this soundboard feed is by far the best one.
The Company is definitely firing on all cylinders and are ready for tonight’s Bonnaroo sets (which will be livestreamed for free!) Rumor has it that there is a strict 11 PM curfew in Charlotte that shortened the show. Someone got ahold of the setlist sheet after the show and saw that four songs were not played that Dead and Company were planning on performing—Uncle John’s Band, New Boogie Speedway and an encore including Black Muddy River and US Blues.
Despite the omissions, the boys played a hell of a tour opener! Here is the setlist with times:
0:00 – The Music Never Stopped
10:33 – Cold, Rain, and Snow
18:15 – Friend of the Devil
25:58 – They Love Each Other
37:18 – Liberty
45:48 – Cassidy
1:04:43 – Promised Land
1:10:08 – Deal
1:21:54 – Estimated Prophet
1:35:59 – Drums – Space
1:55:09 – Feel Like A Stranger
2:08:30 – Black Peter
2:24:00 – Turn on Your Lovelight
