Dead and Company’s summer tour has made it out West and it has been a glorious leg of the tour. After an amazing show at The Gorge, Dead & Co set up shop at Autzen Stadium for what Oteil described as one of the best shows of the tour:
“Confession: I previously thought my favorite place to play with @deadandcompany was Alpine Valley. I had always heard about how great those #gratefuldead shows were. But last night in Eugene, OR was something different.
It was like some kind of GD nerve center. Like the “Old Growth Forest” of Deadheads. I’m not sure how to describe it but it was a new high for me and it revealed an even deeper level of the love this particular fanbase has to offer.
And I say this having just had another transcendent night at The Gorge so you know it must have been SERIOUS at Autzen Stadium last night.”
The second set in Eugene was surreal. The “Dark Star,” the second appearance of “The Eleven” and “Morning Dew” are all worth a listen. Scratch that—the whole show is worth a listen.
