Half the hater-punks here have never been to a Dead show with Jerry. It's a joke. JM does the Dead a great tribute. He doesn't try to be Jerry. He's himself and also one of the most exceptional guitar players in history. Bob Weir doesn't just call up the guy down the street to play with him.
Set I: Shakedown Street 26:14 Alabama Getaway 44:47 It’s All Over Now 50:03 Brown-Eyed Women 57:04 Tennessee Jed 1:05:56 Bird Song > 1:14:58 Loose Lucy > 1:25:38 Bird Song 1:33:46 Set II: Scarlet Begonias > 2:13:18 Fire on the Mountain > 2:27:02 Althea > 2:36:30 Estimated Prophet > 2:49:59 Eyes of the World > 3:06:37 Drums > 3:23:24 Space > 3:31:54 Stella Blue > 3:38:12 Touch of Grey 3:50:25
This is a great show. Theres a lot of depth and raw power to it and it makes up for the sometimes slow tempo. These guys arent young bucks anymore. I respect and appreciate their music, fast OR slow tempo.
Jeff is so on fire at all times. The guy just blazes through these classic tunes adding his own distinct flare and it sounds amazing. This whole band is so on form. Tight, but beautifully sloppy in the way that only the Dead can master.
i'm so not here for the technicals. Anyone on the live chat sounds like you techies missed a real good time! and Thank you from the rest of us who are just here for the vibe the family and the friends, our way of life taught by Jerry, Bob , Phil, Pigpen, Keith, Donna, Mickey, Bill, Brent, and learned so willingly by all of us too old and too grateful to be hateful beautiful DH"S with a smile wrinkle for every show that we danced straight thru, pissed in mud, made sliding boards out of that same mud. twirled and spun, still on the way home but never to shot out for the next nights show! Thanks, but no thanks kids, share that tech shit with maybe like an audience that wants to hear it. Get trippy lil' hippies, if you get confused, you should know what to do... just listen to the music play! Be KIND, AND keep on keepin on!
right on. we are lucky we have what we have, Bobby still has it, and I think Mayer is a perfect fit. it took some time for Mayer to grow on me but he has surpassed my expectations. The long strange trip continues. hope you experience good vibes...
@@juanvaldez5422 you mean, thank you enlightened one (^^^^) Get out of your prescribed internet speak and turn on. It might take a while but you are welcome when the aha light comes on in your head. You might benefit from caffeine free coffee as well Juan Valdez...
I'll go see Bob play whenever I can. He won't be around forever. I'll take slow and tight instead of fast and sloppy. Shakedown has some heart. You just gotta poke around. ..
I really like Bob and enjoy Deadand Co, but while entertaining the Wolf Brothers show just needed a little bit of lead guitar imo or maybe banjo or fiddle or something. It def worked for some songs but not others w the 3 piece
i was at that show and i thought they were great. we are so luck to have the bands from the 70 still at the top of their game. thank you youtube for being here and we can relive our show and learn about their experiences.
Everyone should just be appreciative that Bobby n the Boyz are still BLESSING US WITH WONDERFUL MUSIC !!! 🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶 WE ALL OWE HIM A DEBT OF GRATITUDE !!! FOR ONE... I WOULDN'T BE ME WITHOUT THE HEART OF GOLD BAND !!!!😇 HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PLAY ANYMORE !!! HE DOES IT FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC N TO SAY THANKS TO US !!!! THE LOYAL FANS !!! 🌹PEACE LOVE N HEALTH🌹 ✌💖🎶
This is fantastic... Fyi... Mayer inducted SRV into the Rock and roll hall of fame, will eulogize Clapton, was invited by Billy Joel to play at his last play at Shea (along with Sir Paul McCartney), and had a band with Buddy Guy.... If you have an issue... that is a YOU thing. John IS Dead.
Deadhead since 1st show in '68. Still on the bus. There's TONS to like/love/groove to here. Thanks to the band!!! Carry on, fellas. Thanks to Nugs--or whoever is all responsible for sharing/documenting... Loved Scarlet Begonias, Bird Song especially. That's as far as I've gotten so far...
@@dvdny I saw the wall of sound in 74 at colt park/dillion stadium. I had friends that listened to the show from there front porch in East Hartford on the other side of 91 over the truck traffic. said it was very clear. jerry came out dressed as captain trips as I remember but I could be wrong.
I enjoyed this thoroughly in the background as I was doing my evening routine. The boys are just getting warmed up! It is going to be a great summer! PS- the visuals during drums/space were absolutely superb
The slow speed may make it less fun to sing along, but DAMN if they don't open the jams up to something amazing. Like psychedelic jazz. Thank you for posting!
Very jazzy evening of music, appreciated the free live stream, can't wait till the boys of summer get to The Gorge. I'll be there with bells on. I could go for The Weight
This was a great, albeit imperfect/cob-web-dusting, show. Excited for what Summer ‘18 has in store for us! Great to see the boys and the bus in full gear again.
A much better show than I remember it when I was there. We were definitely disappointed it started late and they had to end at a certain time. But that tour just got better and better with every show!!
The show and the atmosphere were beautiful. Perfect start of the tour. The set list was awesome. Every show is unique and it's not worth comparing each show to each other considering some of the members are different. Shakedown was the opener And it was the perfect pace to start the set given the atmosphere (people were still trying to get into the show at this point) Mayors solo in brown eyed women was awesome and Oteil singing Fire on the Mountain was lovely. He should sing more! No reason for negative vibes and nitpicking. The show was wonderful and I was grateful to be there. Thanks NRG!
I just saw both Shoreline shows 5/31 and 6/1 - the Dead spirit is alive & well! I also saw both Fare Thee Well shows in SF and as much as I love Trey/Phish, it was just good. I then saw John with the band in 2018 both shows and I think he did a tad better. This past weekend, though, John has made significant improvements - less fast blues licks (we know he is a stellar skilled player) and more slow, burning lines and Jerry-type riffs. These were probably two of the BEST post-Jerry shows I've seen ever (starting with Further 1996), and I think 6/1 rivaled Fare Thee Well or was better. I am a musician and hardcore GD fan for 30+ years......and Jerry is everywhere - don't ever forget - I miss him daily! He was smiling down this weekend. Thank you, Boys!
@@palamambron I’m convinced it’s because it’s easier for Bobby to keep his breath while singing but more so that Bill just can’t play drums as fast anymore
@@bunnybeckman8029 i have seen many many dead shows as well as dark star orchestra but when i see dead and company john mayer is just on another level,eric clapton quoted john mayer really dont know just how good he actually is so comin from clapton that says alot!
Was a killer first show for tour. Beautiful venue and crowd and the band was electric. Any naysayers get to the show and judge before you start spewing negative vibes over RU-vid sound. Mayer sounds incredible in person. Wasn’t as most on fire as he’s been the last couple tours but it was opening night and Jeff chimenti more than made up for it absolutely killing it.
you rock dude i watched it I enjoyed it a few surprises the Bird song luce lucy Birdsong was cool never seen that coming. I did think Oteil was looking a little depressed or to Baked but FOTM WAS AWESOME!
My wife who plays Piano wasnt impressed with Jeff but she said after a few songs he kicked it in she has a weird Crush on him or maybe its his Organ hehehehehehe
I don't know who complained about the sound, but I hooked my laptop to my big screen and surround sound system, and it sounded incredibly good to me. Really enjoyed the show.
It's tough to come behind a legend. Especially one as loved as Jerry Garcia. But John Mayer is not a nobody. He's a consummate master entertainer and a guitar god in his own right. Before too long he owned that spot as a respectable replacement blessing everyone with his unique blend of himself + the Dead = vocals and guitar playing at their finest. There are no disappointments here.
And as good as he is at catching Jerry's sound and vibe, he's not trying to be Jerry 2.0. Anybody who plays knows how difficult are the physical endurance coupled with keeping intetesting, changing lead lines flowing over 3-hrs plus remembering different set-lists every night(!) I hated that Jerry was such a druggie but most of us couldn't pull that off night-after-night stone-cold sober.
I’m very impressed with John ,he makes it all better ☮️✌️🕊🐰🐇🎹🎼🎵🎶🌹🌹🌹🪬🥲but I miss Jerry so much ,we had a thing going on ,I cry over him every day can’t help it !
John does an awesome job and I like when he puts himself in there along with Jerry feels. I've been playing for 35 years and met Bob in a hotel hallway where he played my junk acoustic. I got my own feel with Jerry in there but for John to get all these licks down and remember them is amazing.
As soon as I heard a few bits of twang by Mayer a few years ago, I knew he was special. As it transpires, he's so special, he's keeping a whole Generation happy by loving the music himself & delivering it big style as it should be, authentically.
setlist.. Set 1 Shakedown Street Alabama Getaway It's All Over Now Brown-Eyed Women Tennessee Jed Bird Song Loose Lucy Bird Song Set 2 Scarlet Begonias Fire on the Mountain Althea Estimated Prophet> Eyes of the World Drums Space Stella Blue Touch of Grey
Absolutely loved this show... Danced all night out on the lawn! Just wish the volume on John Mayer was a bit higher. While he's not Jerry, he's still an incredible player that deserves the spotlight in this band, especially during solos.
I've heard a lot of Scarlett fires and I have to say that that was the best solo I've ever heard John play during fire. it was absolutely perfect with Oteil. that was probably the best version of scarlet fire that I've ever heard this band play I could be wrong but if you feel me let me know. Lol.
I feel you! Mayer and Chimenti get better with each show. They are what makes Dead and Co rock, not Bob, Bill and Mickey. The complainers don't want to accept that. Mayer always delivers a great Scarlet-Fire and plays the solos longer than Jerry did.
Being able to re-interpret songs that were done differently while as part of a band from decades ago is a great way into the artist's mind. Bobby's interesting chord progressions and intonation is why at age 17 he was a vital part of a progressive band that shaped the times for years to come. Not you, not me.. Bobby. Rock on. If you can't wrap your head around it, that's okay. Come on back when you are ready.
1st set Shakedown street Alabama gateway It's all over now Brown eyed women Tennessee jed Birdsong Loose lucy Bird song 2nd set - Scarlet begonias Fire on the mountain Althea Estimated prophet Other one jam Eyes of the world Jam/space Stella blue Touch of grey (Copied from D&C IG share. )
For those who've paid attention to this band from the start will know this night was merely a soundcheck as they don't hit their stride till at least the 5th-8th shows of the tour...looking forward to seeing them in 3 weeks!
Stepping into Jerry’s shoes, so to speak, is no easy feat, such that, watching as Bobby pulls Mayer out from under his signature B-road venturing during “Stella Blue” showed just how hard Mayer’s role actually is. In other words, all I can say is: ‘John Mayer, you’ve got balls.’ PS: Thanks so much for posting.
The first time I heard No Such Thing, I knew whoever made it was going to be a star. I didn't even know his name. Not a huge fan of John outside Dead &Co., but it was fresh and a great summer song. The man can play guitar. He's not Jerry. He just respects him. Sounds good.
Really digging drum/space with Dead and Co. I never didnt like it but this stuff is somehow......more immersive? Beats me, just been "appreciating" it like i didnt when i was younger. :)
I have to agree with u on that because I didn’t like the drummers of old but they r so much better ! I think having them young genius,s with Bobby & drums make them feel younger also !
I got great seats up front for this last min. Missed Shakedown & Alabama Getaway due to security being extremely slow but, it was fantastic from It's All Over Now till we left right at the end of Stella Blue. We heard Touch of Grey from the car leaving. I saw them also at Fenway Park June 17th of 2017. It was a couple fun shows! Scarlet thru Drums/space was really sick... We were in the center section up front right behind the pit.
Mayer's playing gets better by the month. His solos on All Over Now and Brown Eyed Women were beautiful. The arrangement of All Over Now was totally different than the Dead's with a funky beat instead of Jerry's bluegrass feel. It's the band making the songs their own that makes Dead and Co so good with Mayer and Chimenti leading the way. If they could just figure out how to sound good singing Jerry's songs.
Jonny had his cool Nike sweats on last night I gotta get some of those. John Mayer is the Man thank god for him or I wouldnt be going to Alpine and Boulder cant wait ...
I agree wholeheartedly. Especially the All Over Now. They really are making these songs their own while full respecting the original versions. I noticed the same thing. Thanks for speaking it out loud!
blonzo woww. I didn't know am a septuagenarian. Probably that's why I like this laid back aura about it. Not like the current slogan that you have to attack the song. Thank you for bring this new word in my vocabulary.
