This one song was worth the price of admission. My fave Dead song for sure.

[@NarLyNaRdi]

Seen this exact version live

[@mikethomas6187]

Was a good show

[@JeffH440_]

They took this guy off Apple Music, thanks for keeping the gem alive.

[@jeanhartely]

John Mayer shouldn't be-- and isn't-- Jerry. But I will admit that there were couple of seconds during this song when the hairs on my neck stood up a little, as though I'd heard a ghost.

[@singhajason]

Yeah about 5:40 ish

[@johanx6302]

This still the dead... The names may change, but the songs remain the same... Timeless

[@Bingopete71]

one of the finest Altheas I've ever seen.

[@mhnoname11]

Mayer is on Fire! you know when Billy starts cheering while drumming, shits getting real!c

[@notagunner4880]

Hey! When does that happen?

[@mhnoname11]

look for video from Deer Creek!

[@kurtisderoller3965]

Fuckin right man

[@scottmorrison7300]

I just got my tickets for the summer shows. I love the Dead and even though John is no Jerry he Definitely holds his own. I was at three shows last summer. Camden Saratoga and burgettestown. I'm a believer! John put his big boy pants on

[@chandlerhi]

I'm moving back to Indy, hope to get to see them next year!

[@starcloud4959]

John is really comin' along nicely.the notes are starting to ring in the right direction.

[@singhajason]

Mayer's guitar work gives me chills. Just Wow

[@coolvlogs4079]

John straight F'in rips it here!

[@bostonindy]

I was at this show. Came very skeptical but after I heard this i was in. I have listened to every Althea by D&C and this is hands down the best. Ramble on Rose from Deer Creek in 16 is sweet as well. Row Jimmy from 2018 at Deer Creek was also incredible

[@MidwestOutlaw86]

Best Althea ever played.

[@altheaonthemoon2524]

Bob still has the chops!!

[@TheFizz40]

No, he does not, but he is Bobby and you can't tell him not to sing. He's 70, tons of drugs and wear ans tear on voice have taken its toll. For some moments he can recapture the glory days, but for a whole show it can get painful to listen to his voice die on him.

[@deadmetal8692]

The music lives on......

[@ryandickson3924]

The music never stopped

[@kertokovich]

Is this the best Dead and Company Althea? Seriously I think it may be. However I haven’t listened to enough others I’m interested in others opinions. Let me know! Please and thanks!

[@kertokovich]

Christopher Hobbs thanks man.

[@willsevy7836]

Althea at jiffy lube live was very good also , 6/22/17

[@Estado_Alterado]

Probably the one with the most feeling.

[@Estado_Alterado]

And the most aggressive solo.

[@6speedsti241]

hell yeah

[@braincircus9247]

WOah

[@normalima3512]

john essa vois !!⚡💙🎸🎶👏⚡

[@gratefuldingus360]

John did a great job as far as I'm concerned. It got better as it went along, too. towards the end of summer tour they were sounding fantastic. Some truly magic moments. Having said that, no one I've heard so far has been able to pull off a decent Althea. It's time to retire that one maybe?

[@bongodave13]

I'd like a Pig pen tune. One they haven't touched in a few decades. Surprise us, and let John sing.

[@gratefuldingus360]

You guys are absolutely right. I take it back. Don't retire a single thing. As long as they have breath and willingness I want to hear everything they want to play. John is playing quite well and he's doing his own thing. He's honoring Jerry's place and not trying to imitate. Keep truckin' on fellas.

[@horizontalhourglass8320]

althea has been HOT. and im on board with bringing songs back specifically alligator, new potato caboose, cosmic charlie, standing on the moon (and have dead and co w/JM played morning dew?)

[@williammartin570]

Agreed

[@iomibestlefty]

retire it its one of the most recognized dead songs and its why bobby landed johnny boy mayer

[@aarons_picks3783]

#lackluster IMO

[@kurtisderoller3965]

John man holy shit killed it homie
