Dead & Company / Morning Dew The Sphere Las Vegas

[@Besokool]

Don't know why people miss the big picture. My wife and I work damn hard all year, and save hard for one fabulous thing per year. This band is a celebration of life - of people we love getting close to the end, and loving the here and now. I'm 61 - almost 5 decades with Bob Weir, and whatever company he keeps. We will love Jerry forever, but this is a damn wild celebration of the music. John belongs here to his core. I love it, and can't wait for my 4 day weekend in Las Vegas, in June.

[@KevinElliot-ni4lb]

you're gonna have a blast

[@Besokool]

@@KevinElliot-ni4lb Thanks for that...appreciate you!

[@Jrodeadhead2002]

Well said!!! I get so tired of all the negative remarks. This music is fantastic and will endure for many, many moons.

[@bodhiheeren]

Beautiful.

[@denicemuse3931]

Amen! I’m sick of folks who piss in other people’s Cheerios. I firmly believe comparison is the thief of joy. I too am doing a weekend of the shows in June and am so stoked! Enjoy this wonderful opportunity and experience with your wife!

[@gregorysiri9515]

Thanks for videotaping & sharing. Psyched here for next weekend. What’s Dead in Vegas Stays Dead in Vegas. Forever Dead!

[@Skinnyorangemusic]

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas unless you get chased down by a rabid zebra

[@billmiller5771]

This made me cry! Friggin BEAUTIFUL!

[@samiam7342]

WOW, those graphics are mind blowing! the best ones I have seen yet for dead and co........

[@paulbufton7678]

Thank you so much for capturing this. I was completely overwhelmed on the night by the music and visuals. Watching it again brings back so many happy memories of two incredible nights.

[@michaelsokolowski7143]

All these videos demonstrate that the sound is superb in that room.

[@GWD4060]

I DONT THINK IT GETS ANY BETTER THAN THAT.MAYER IS A TOTAL BADASS.WHAT A TRIBUTE ❤GOD BLESS THE GRATEFUL DEAD.RIP

[@Trench777]

I was there (I think). Heavy dose and it was like taking my hat off, placing my brain into it, handing it to them and saying "do with this as you see fit, good sirs". To which they replied..."ok...watch this..."

[@davidparmelee473]

Brilliant.

[@BOOGIESTARSEVEN]

Wow! This makes me smile, smile, smile! 😊 💀 🌹

[@BrianOrr-sd5ws]

Many thanks for sharing this

[@danielmccook9453]

Nothing is good enough for people today. Sounds great when im at shows I dance my ass off with my eye's closed. Be happy you still here this live. I would loved to be here awesome stuff!!!!!

[@LordGreystoke]

If your eyes are closed then why bother going to the sphere?

[@Pete-te4th]

Those effects in the background are amazing, out of this world!

[@22marhoe]

Thank you for sharing your experience with Dead & Co. @ The Sphere‼️ 🌍 🌈 🌞 🌧️ 🌻💀🌹⚡️🎰❤️‍🔥 🥁 🎸 🎹 🎤

[@jerrygarcia633]

Eating some shrooms here soon. Will enjoy.🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄

[@garys4458]

That shit is steeeeep up top. Be careful. I almost didn't eat mine. If you are in a lower level, then it's much better....but eat them for sure. I was glad I did.☺️

[@MrMick50]

It's like being at a giant planetarium with Dead how cool is that just awesome they should release DVDs of these shows

[@humboldtharry1289]

Yeah I hope so too. I can’t imagine they won’t

[@jasonfesler339]

A show like like this would be awesome in 360 VR.

[@michaelhjerpe3208]

Man I guess I gotta switch from vcr to dvd… bastards

[@maureencarson1004]

Thank you for all the videos you share, looks like an amazing time !! Enjoy⚡️

[@melledge1]

Saw Dead & Co summer 2022 at Pine Knob and it was a beautiful little scene. Main Street was just big enough to be interesting and fun, not overwhelming and sad like in VA . DK why they didn’t come back last year. 🙁 Still, great to see them anywhere we can. ✌️

[@jambandbillyd]

Can’t wait to see Dead and Company in June! Here’s a different perspective for the folks who are being critical: these guys still actually sing and play live…no backing tracks like other older bands out touring these days. Peace and love y’all.

[@jenrund2204]

Thanks for the great video! Love the perspectives. 🙏🏼🌹

[@cjhmuller]

God.. how I wish I could go to this wonderful show. It's a shame that our currency is so devalued. We pay 5x more than our northern brothers. Congratulations to those who went and had this incredible experience.

[@sweetjane8195]

Mahalo, for the kind words!!! It was incredible, Dead & Company are incredible!!! I'll go see them, every chance I can get!!! Who better, to hear our favorite music from!!! I Love Grateful Dead music and I Love Dead & Company music!!! "Thank You, for a Real Good Time" I can't get enough of it!!! Aloha ♥️💀⚡🌹🎶🤙

[@solarforfuture]

caught them in vegas decades ago. 3 days at silverdome. .. time to return... thanks... miracle me?

[@jason7775600]

Excellent!!

[@sherylmiller1648]

Classic case of assuming before you finish watching. It’s incredible and I love it 🥳

[@NarLyNaRdi]

Holy John Mayer 🤯

[@Pete-te4th]

amazing music also, wish Jerry were here.

[@lindaperez4567]

Love this.

[@ghostzapper1111]

Thanks for showing

[@IronRangeGreens]

Grateful 🎆

[@Boatsussiowa]

Walk me out in the morning Fondue 🫕 💨💨💨 my honey 🍯

[@Blind-Ivan]

Bobby’s vocal timing rushes the end of too many key lines where Jerry had paused to add emotional weight to the end of the line. Stunning space and moment though no doubt.

[@humboldtharry1289]

It’s a shame he’s lost much of his voice. I don’t think he has the breath anymore for the pauses. It’s a bummer

[@sweetjane8195]

​@@humboldtharry1289 What on this beautiful earth, do you expect from a 76 year old, who has been singing for 60 years!!! He sounds wonderful and I am so very Grateful, to be able to still see him sing and play!!! Long live Bobby, he's amazing!!! (~);} ♥️💀⚡🌹🎶🤙

[@AwardWinningActorMichaelP-nis]

​@@sweetjane8195I expect him to let the capable singers sing. He sounds awful & ruins every song he sings on. Stop drinking the Kool aid

[@IrwinMFletcher]

This is also Morning Dew

[@nicholasrosebush6182]

Musta been high when they posted this

[@whodemlsu]

Wow.. what a way to close a show! Dead Forever!

[@Jeffrie_Baer]

WOW!!!!

[@888jackflash]

Owseley would have had a field day

[@MikeBurkhard]

Im the biggest critic here, they did one hell of a job re creating 72, we all know that was the game plan.

[@kmfiz]

What seats/section did you have Scott? Thanks for sharing!

[@TaraBaldwin-s9k]

Ok i would definitely like to take some acid for this! Also could be way more mandala/psychedelic visuals!

[@robertneighbors6116]

YES! so long it was REAL LSD from SF or Eugene, OR.

[@justmeisthatok7990]

Wow..need real bears on paper to enhance their visual effects..guess sphere got own creative development for their LED'S..at first i was asking how tiny was stage b4 zoomed in looked like 12ft×25' lol..now at end looks 40×30..still small for venue that seats idk how many..guess 12000+ and i dont think these were true nosebleed seats😂, take look at acdc stage size..tour started 3 days ago..europe leg. Only good pyro is at very end. Hope you and family are well. Hugs to all!

[@toddkrajewski]

I'm sorry. I can't believe anyone would be disappointed. The Electrical Engineering and IT Science that went into the construction was groundbreaking. Sorry if the mechanism looks a bit weird but in sense got us to colonize Mars, from an astoundingly visual perspective.

[@johnnywikle]

Dope shots man. How did you get them? With a tripod or handheld? Nice work.

[@home2443]

John's tone has improved

[@fordummieslikeme7575]

MoringDew is like the comfortably numb of GD music… Speaking of that Roger Waters should do a run at this sphere that would be awesome!

[@ScottJamesLIve]

I am a little saddened and not surprised to read the negativity. Social media is for the weak and the lazy.

[@oceantree5000]

Anybody happen to know what this new PRS Mayer’s playing is?

[@NarLyNaRdi]

It’s his signature guitar called “The Silver Sky”

[@NarLyNaRdi]

@@theebluess oh yea! You’re correct. He definitely is using the green 594. I just assumed he was using the silver sky like he has been for the first two shows and all last summer. Other than an his acoustic, I don’t remember him using anything other than his Silver Sky last summer. Maybe wrong though.

[@KarklinPumpkin]

Beautiful. Nevermind i cant afford. Bobby and company get PAID good. Thats what matters. Thanks for recording. Dead forever. They deserve this financial peak. Nevermind the salty poors

[@fuji4202]

Jerry did the best 🍄

[@norsestar5878]

Space visuals for a morning dew, dumb. Dead Incorporated!

[@tomharvey6961]

2.3 billion and they couldn't throw a nice Persian rug on that stage?

[@jerryrobertkoren]

I miss Jerry vocal nuances in this song....

[@chris7brook]

🥱

[@johnmccabe7645]

Bob is so old

[@HerveMendell]

Just my opinion. John Mayer should grow his hair out and wear tie-dye to really " hippy-it-up." That said, he does a good job.

[@HelpFindTheOthers]

He's been doing it for almost a decade now

[@dianejenkins9180]

I love it but the conversation is distracting. How can you talk when Morning Dew is playing????

[@shatoyancy9102]

Cause Bob’s singing it.

[@Skinnyorangemusic]

Tripping so hard he couldn't spell sphere right

[@TaraBaldwin-s9k]

Or Morning Dew!! 😂💧 My goodness. Great recording tho and Grateful!!

[@sweetie848]

No need for such graphic overload. When they started it was music and a few lights...

[@hughjasol-qr2xd]

WAHHHH!!!!!!

[@jimmyconway8025]

Looks great not sure about the sound...

[@tobysshades]

Multiple people have said it's the most dynamic sounding venue they have ever been to.

[@carlgemlich1657]

167,000 immersive speakers. Tough to replicate on a phone.

[@jimmyconway8025]

@carlgemlich1657 it sounded lethargic . Seemed like it was a struggle I guess that's what you get from guys in their 80s.

[@jimmyconway8025]

@tobysshades again it sounded slow like half speed and lethargetic . Seemed like a struggle Guess that's what you get from guys their 80s. Many people have said this about the tempo

[@maxmidgett5046]

I have to be honest, I try to be open to new ideas but I find this incredibly gimmicky and cheesy. The novelty of the big screen wears off quickly and then it becomes a distraction from the music. This whole residency feels like a very packaged product, just another Vegas tribute act to see on your vacation. The Grateful Dead is best experienced outdoors in the summer, twirling under the stars, not a giant LED screen. I love this band and I understand not being able to tour full time, but I wish they were doing a run of shows literally anywhere else.

[@hughjasol-qr2xd]

Been there done that on to something new, still use candles and ride a horse????

[@noneed1339]

I agree and disagree... Better this than nada... And the music was there! Forever grateful. And it was a really cool experience, although, gimmicky.

[@23skidd00]

I’ve read in interviews where Garcia gives a hard pass to Elvis as an over-bloated shell of a performer…

[@josephgrumet]

I understand you’re feeling. As a traveler of hundreds of shows in the most amazing places what you say has some merit. I will say however the Dead have always been ahead of the curve sonically and visually and once again proving they still are . I can see how the sensory overload can become annoying for it’s the music that brings us keeps us and will live forever. That said I wish I was at sphere to experience it

[@anthonycollin6535]

I had hopped the band wouldn’t go in this direction or any band for that matter. Vegas, nostalgia act, very high ticket prices, nothing new. Ugh. Sad. I have to look away.

[@hughjasol-qr2xd]

WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevinfagan4488]

Too many complainers

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

Rushed and just plain greed. Phish worked on their 4 shows for north of 9 months. And there were AMAZING VISUAL EFFECTS

[@hughjasol-qr2xd]

Yea but then you had to listen to phish, yuckkkk

[@neil1390]

Boring,

[@shiftd_1114]

I think John was unplugged half the song lol ..... Bringing out the worst versions ever at this sphere venue

[@jimrebr]

Sell Outs, Jerry must be rolling in his grave…no thank you

[@TheGrowFromYourHeartPodcast]

LOLOLOLOLOL

[@darickbonebrake6774]

You're clueless about what Jerry wants you jackass

[@bobd9868]

Jerry wanted a single venue to play from, they talked about building one. And he was big into graphics, I think he would have loved it

[@hughjasol-qr2xd]

WAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@seacave853]

john mayer is a tool

[@criticman123]

Am I the only one completely let down by the visuals? A slideshow of memories of the band that isn't playing, with 2 living members not a part, is not high level graphic design. Remember android jones doing fare thee well? 100x better, why on earth did they decide early 2000s winamp graphics are next level? Fuck sake I have an app on my phone thats a liquid visualizer drawing app that spits out more engaging stuff EDIT: seeing it live didn't change this feeling. However Bob's interview explaining technical challenges did

[@kilosoul236]

I was thinking the exact same thing. The hell in a bucket looked like it was part of an Nintendo 64 game visual.

[@andrewtrask9650]

Watch drums/space thats it for me that beam was rocking my soul

[@dylanjoseph583]

Listen to the music play and quit the constant complaining. Seriously this is the begining of a legendary residency and youre spewing negativity?

[@kilosoul236]

@dylanjoseph583 one comment is constant complaining? Get over yourself.

[@elguapo6750]

Unfortunately for them... Phish laid down the f'n hammer on jaw dropping visuals. Dead & Co. never stood a chance.

[@stuphiladelphiapa7680]

More like a Morning Don't. Sorry this band is weak, there are better Dead cover bands playing in dive bars.

[@gkubrick]

Then why are you here?

[@shatoyancy9102]

@@gkubrickprobably the same reason i am. The music means so much that i have to at least try to understand, but I’m l;et down and frustrated every time I listen to these guys. Pack it in already, they’re tainting their legacy.

[@stephaniemcnutt1072]

Enjoy it when u can and stop blocking the beauty with negativity @criticman123
