Whaal I don't think this one is live right now, unless of course you're watching it here.
"It's good though"
-Bruce Phillips (RIP)
First song ever for Dead and Company, Times Union Center, Albany, NY 10/29/2015 - Bob Weir Sang Playing In The Band and John Mayer Sang Cold Rain and Snow

Havens tuned his guitar to an open chord fretting the neck with his first finger and massive left thumb. He playedguitar like it was a drum with a fierce right-handed strumming attack.
Don't believe me, eh?

Yeah! I've been watching it and other stuff too.
This tech is getting pretty high.
Drop til you bop.
Like I told ya!
Someone else will do it, but I just figured out how to record it, so I won't.
Random comments (not mine):
john Mayer was 18 when Jerry died. do you think he ever had a chance to see the Dead?
Grisman and Del McCoury tore it up in Brooklyn tonight! Tough choice with both Phil and Dead & Co in town.

There are lots of "jam bands" out there- all purportedly built on the foundation that the Grateful Dead layed down.
Aside from the improvisational jamming and a fan base that likes to get high and dance, the mostly bear little resemblance or pay little homage.
To me, Ryan Adams has come closest to sounding like the Dead without imitating them.
He played with them and they've picked up some of his songs, but he's kind of a chameleon and his love of the Dead, and how it was reflected in his recordings or live shows, was largely a phase.
His album Cold Roses reflects this period, and is excellent.
His song Cold Roses and this one, Magnolia Mountain, are the best non Dead Dead songs ever, IMO.

And of course Rosebud- the best tribute to Jerry.

Covelocos-
He sure knows his way around the neck of a guitar, that's for sure.
He was able to jam and not get redundant or repetitive, but the sound of the band, overall, was listless...for me at least.
Mayer's work on Stella Blue was some of the best I've ever heard...
But he blew the solo on Brokedown.
That is a clean, concise and beautiful solo that should not be f*#ked with or deviated from, it is played one way and one way only.
Mayer may have shredded it but that's where he lost me.
DON'T TRY AND GET FANCY ON THE BROKEDOWN SOLO!!!!!! :-)

As I always say, Jefe. There's no accounting for taste. This is the first post Garcia incarnation I've been able to enjoy.

Jerry says to Phil of the ABB on their way to this show: "make sure you check these guys out... they're kinda like us... They jam hard"
Butch joins on drums
Mickey attacks his gigantic gong
Mick Fleetwood and Danny Kirwan "find room to join the festivities"
"It's a surprisingly coherent free-for-all, with five guitarists , four drummers, organ, and Pigpen roaring over it all"
"Gregg takes a verse ... Sounding like a fifty-year-old black man even then."
Pig and Gregg trade vocals
Berry Oakley takes over on bass about halfway through Lovelight as Phil just wants to listen!
"My mind starts to stretch out of shape... everyone on stage is flat-out wailing"
After the show, "I walk outside -- it's daylight, and snow is falling gently on the streets of New York... I grab Bob and Jerry in a group embrace: This is what it's all about."
