Dead and Company 2022 Tour

So much to say about last night. Will boil it down to one comment, Jerry has got to be smiling at Mayer's Sugaree. wow.

So glad it was a great show for all of you! I’m sorry I missed it. First time missing a Dead and Co show at Bristow.

Bob and I are making the best of our time here in MA with my family considering all the curveballs throw at us this week. My dad came home from rehab on Saturday and brought Covid with him. My mom (88 and just getting over shingles) now has it and so does my sister-in-law who is visiting from FL. I haven’t been feeling well but tested negative 3 times. Mine might just be Wook Flu from Peach. 5 of us are staying at my parent’s house and 4 at my brother’s house. There is no way to fully isolate. We are trying to stay outside as much as possible and mask up while inside. Wish us all luck!

oh btw, for those not in attendance at Bristow and yet to see any photos or video, Jay Lane in for Bill the whole show. Worked out well from where I was sitting. Real teamwork to bring the music.

Hope all heal quickly and totally. 

Missed seeing slypknot and Donna and so sorry about that. Lots of moving parts on my end getting there with a crew of 10. Had a blast in the pit with The Other One and his lovely bride.

One of my highlights didn't even involve the music. A dude in the pit lit and smoked three full sized doobies during the first set and smoked them all himself without once taking the doobie out of his mouth or touching it at all. At one point I looked over at him with doobie in his mouth and a bead of sweat at the tip of his nose. Legend (wait for it) dairy.

I liked the projection of the Wall of Sound on the video screen.




I wonder what happened to the real one? Is it sitting in a warehouse somewhere collecting dust or was it disassembled for component parts...

I am sorry you all are having such a time. Healing vibes sent to your family members and best of luck to everyone.

I think there is something more to it than BK just being tired. I also heard that he had pulled a muscle, or something to that effect. The whole sitting out, coming back for two songs, then sitting out several shows is just odd to me. While I wish him the best in his health I look at it like this, if you are not well enough to play then sit it out, the whole tour, until you are well enough to tour/travel/play for extended periods of time. Jay is more than capable but I didn't pay to see Jay, I paid to see Billy K.

As a side note as I watched the band the other night I saw this band as a hopped up version of Ratdog. You had Bob, Jeff and Jay, a second drummer in Mickey, John Mayer instead of Mark Karan/Steve Kimock and you had Oteil in place of Robin Sylvester.

Make no mistake, this is Bob Weir's band, without a doubt.

There was no backup guitarist on stage for Weir. No one saw this incident happening as it did ahead of time.

Been to 3 shows this tour, Philly on Sunday was by far the best. Watchtower in the second song was something. Theyve been sounding better each night. On to NYC for the tour closers this weekend.

on Bill K, Im glad he finally spoke up. Feel bad for the guy but honestly Lane has been filling in just fine...
