Dead & Company The Sphere Las Vegas 5/26/24 Watchtower into Terrapin Station w/  

New Deadhead here. I'm someone who came to this music via John Mayer. His passion and clear love for it inspired me to explore the catalog and ultimately buy tickets to go to this show (my first ever live Dead experience). Also had a chance to walk through the Dead Forever experience and found the photo history of the band incredible. Now I'm listening to Closing of Winterland and other classic live shows and appreciating the differences between old/new. Thankful to all the longtime Dead fans for accepting the new generation and also learning what I've known for years about John Mayer.. that he is an absolute guitar beast but also a student of music with a deep appreciation and reverence for the legends who came before him -- Hendrix, SRV, Clapton and of course, Garcia. The Music Never Stopped.

IMHO John Mayer played Watchtower to rival Jimi Hendrix! Phenomenal. And the oh so subtle segue into Terrapin was sublime. As a 75 year old Deadhead, Mayer to me is wonderful as is the entire Dead & Company sound. They blend and mix perfectly for where they are now in our Universe. Naysayers are probably neophytes and should hold back their negative comments, and be Gratefully Deadicated that Dead is Forever...

Bill Walton 1st Class Human Being! The absolute Joy on Bills face / shaking his bones (which everyone could see because his head & shoulders were above everybody else), as the 1st Note played by the Grateful Dead was priceless.... Sadley, Knock Knock on heaven's door has a new resident.... Bill Walton, thanks for sharing your smile w/ all of your tie-dye friends across the world ...RIP Father Time

Johnny’s on fire here, really coming into his own. It’s all good, as the music must live on, taking new forms, while still paying tribute to the past. Counting the days until I return to Camelot.

These visuals are the best way to experience Watchtower! Yes, John’s guitar is amazing but a Candyman takes my money home

maaaaaaaaaan that guitar comes in perfectly. I bet they felt that in their souls.

Forever Deadhead healing to return....

Me tooo! FABULOUS TRANSITION! Nailed it! 💕💐👏👏

This version of all along the watchtower might be my favorite of all time, the tempo, the solos, bobs voice, the fact that John channels Santana with that second solo, literally everything is on point here

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

Good looking out haha! Needed to hear that transition again ASAP 🔥 Edit: holy crap I hadnt seen the new visuals. Guess Im going back to Vegas soon.

Should have quit my job and stayed in Vegas

IWT! Can’t say enough good about the entire experience!

Great music great video. And wonderfully free from loud talkers.

I’m hoping to hear Terrapin when I see them next week. Fingers crossed 🤞

Daaaaamnnn. I should have stayed for Sunday as well. Thank you for posting this.

Love the transition ❤

Hello Earth 🌎 thanks for sharing

John’s tone is on god mode.

Thanks for posting this - second set was on fire! Was there the first weekend and flew back for the Sunday show 🤯

love the trippy jellyfish

Outstanding!

tempo and swing is great. Mayer just rips. Love this . dont understand the space background for Watchtower but who cares.

Transcendent Terrapin ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ah Bobby. Remembering lyrics must be hard at 76. Still, a pretty solid rendition of Watchtower and solid guitar work by Mayer

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO !!

EPIC!!!

RIP Bill Watson.

The mix sounds good, fellas. Love the big ghost 👻 ship 🚢 of fools. 🎉

👂 💚

🤯

Why are there cuts in this video suddenly? That wasn’t before

Really nice! What section were you in?

RIP Walton. How many times are these fools going to un-retire?

Bob Dylan would be happy

Why is Mayer unproportionately 3 times louder than the whole band? Yikes. 2 drums and you can barely hear either one of them. :(

Fix the title of your vid mate

Was down in 101’s.. peaked at watchtower and absolutely had my face stolen. Terrapin brought me back 🌌

I was there - this was maybe the most electric 1-2 of the many dead and co shows I’ve been too - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!

God that lick at 5:18 holy hell, Mayer’s vocalization of his guitar is second to none

6:34

I will continue this comment as soon as I scrape my face off of the floor.

Some songs should never end. This is proof.

thanks for posting this. I've watched it like three times already :)

an absolutely sublime performance from john!

I'm so excited about this venue. This is as immersion as it gets.

Shit pops at the 8:00 mark . 😮

Excellent job 💯👏

My nose won't stop bleeding...pass

***BOB, JOHN, MICKEY are getting paid roughly 25+ MILLION for these shows......Jeff, Oteil and Jay are getting paid roughly 1 MILLION max........and the "fans" are paying for ALL of it........that's the music business.....

Thanks for posting. Trying not to spoil my shows which are June 13-14. But so excited I need to indulge

This is the fastest Watchtower I've heard DeadCo play. No tempo issues here

Thank you so so very much!!!💝
