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.
Thanks to Quinfolk for the HD audio capture.
