Performance Notes
Bob Weir and John Barlow’s state-of-the-planet address, “Throwing Stones” made its live debut in the Grateful Dead’s repertoire in 1982, in the midst of a long recording drought by the band, and so would not turn up on record until the release of the Dead’s breakthrough commercial success, “In The Dark,” in 1987. It was performed many times by the Dead and by subsequent ensembles featuring the band members, but it would be hard to imagine a more timely and powerful setting for the song than this one, at the show Dead & Company played in Sunrise, Florida less than two weeks after the mass shooting at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, for an audience that included numerous survivors of the tragedy and their families. Weir brings a special intensity and passion to his vocal, fully equaled by the band’s accompaniment. - Gary Lambert

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.
Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours.
