Performance Notes
“T for Texas / Yes, and it’s T for Timbuktu” - When Dead & Company took to the stage at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX on December 2, 2017, no one thought that the band was about to play its final show of the year. After all, there were three more dates on the tour itinerary, in New Orleans and Florida. It wasn’t until a few days after the Austin show that unforeseen circumstances would force those scheduled gigs to be postponed until the following February. But if the tour finale was an inadvertent one, no one could have asked for or planned a better capstone to a great musical year, as the band delivered a performance that more than a few informed listeners have called the best of the Fall tour, the best of 2017, or perhaps even the single best show Dead & Company had yet played, period. The audio evidence makes a compelling case for any and all of those claims.
Austin is renowned as one of the great live music towns in the world, with a dizzying number of venues, from honky-tonks to concert halls to arenas, that regularly play host to both homegrown talent and visiting musical royalty, with a special emphasis on those specializing in a wide variety of American roots music - country, blues, R&B and much more. In other words, many of the genres that inspired the Grateful Dead in the creation of their own borderless musical universe. Those crucial influences are especially evident in the first set of Dead & Company’s show in the Texas capital, from the opening “Jack Straw” through the magnificent “Sugaree” that closes the first half. In between, some of the highlights include “New Minglewood Blues” (a Noah Lewis tune dating back to the 1920s that was in the repertoire of one of the earliest groupings of future Grateful Dead members, Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions) and a direct nod to Texas tradition with “Next Time You See Me,” a blues classic by the great Junior Parker, recorded in the Houston studios of Duke Records, a label owned by infamous music mogul Don Robey. Returning from the break, the band shifts gears completely, from the deeply rooted to the completely untethered, with a wild ride of a second set that achieves liftoff immediately with the ever-popular “China Cat Sunflower → I Know You Rider” coupling, then sets its course to the great unknown with “Dark Star,” “The Other One” and way-out-there Drums and Space segments before gently reentering the Earth’s atmosphere for a set-closing sequence of “Uncle John’s Band,” “St. Stephen” and “Morning Dew.” A full-on encore of “One More Saturday Night” brings it all back home to the rock ‘n’ roll roots.

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.

I know I’m late to this video, but this version is one of the best I’ve heard. John’s guitar is tough and puts an edge that is not in the original. Honestly one of my favorite dead songs, but then again, I say that about most of their songs.

[@tracyhill6166]

This is the most epic Cumberland blues I've ever heard! Jeff and O'teil were getting down! ❤💃

[@jasond3938]

Wow ! What a time to be alive and able to enjoy this music , thank you Dead and Co ❤️💀✌️ Keep on Trucking

[@bunnybeckman8029]

I love Bobby & John playing close together like that in this song especially !

[@jaka398]

John goes full blues mode, nice :D

[@redrum482]

Nice jam from John!

[@adamsherman5024]

Bobby absolutely shredding the begining of this

The heat came round & busted me for smilin' on a cloudy day. .....the stash was under Ho-Tei

I was there. Great memories.

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

[@FrankieBarton]

Gracias amigos. Sounds fresh.

[@shaemusnevin554]

Does Anyone understand the excitement dead and co brings to someone who wasn't even alive until years after Jerry's death. There is obviously another pair of shoes with someone who has seen Jerry live and they can count their lucky stars

[@harryhenderson792]

I was at the last Dead concert with Jerry in Portland Oregon, around 94 , Chuck Berry opened , :)

[@shaemusnevin554]

Harry Henderson yea see! So kickass that’s awesome to hear!

[@wginpb]

Very lucky indeed! The music,vibe, community brings the new folks out of curiosity. I was personally thanked out of the blue by 2 young ladies for “allowing” them into this world. They felt blesses that everyone was “soooo nice.”😊😊😊

[@mbass718]

I got to see Jerry and the boys about 24 times and to this day there's still no better community of fans than the Dead fans/family! I don't get the older heads who complain about the music being slow or whatever.. Everyone should just be happy and thank their lucky stars that we get to go hear, see and feel the music we love so much! Hoping Dead and co go on for another 20 years or at least til they can't play anymore. I've seen all the post Jerry lineups and IMHO this lineup comes closest in vibe and feel to the original band..at least from when I started seeing them around 1987. Wish I could have toured around with them but I'm very thankful that I got to see them with Jerry 24 times or so. I'm so ready for summer tour.. Can't wait! Just wish they were doing two nights again at citifield instead of one. Hopefully we'll get some more MSG shows in the Fall! Ain't no place better than the garden to see them!

[@Quetzalc08L]

Just go see JRAD. You can dance to it and they are the true spirit of the Grateful Dead.

[@musichead133]

Don't know how many time I've viewed this footage. I keep on coming back to this tune anytime I need a huge amount of energy or inspiration or quick working vibe or things like that.

My first Dead and Co show. This show was such a ripper.

As in ripping farts and stunk? I can see that.

Why are they all color coordinated tonight?

[@calcoleman2398]

They had dosed?

[@jamesm8132]

Don’t think so, Bobby hasn’t dosed since the 80s

[@bryancantwell1204]

Is it too much to ask that we actually hear Bobby's guitar?

[@fenderstratguy]

Bryan Cantwell Its like, “I will step on you.”

[@criticman123]

He's probably louder in the mix now than he has been since the early 70s, that being said I think the band needs to be louder in general. Mayer' tactic of running 2 rigs to get high volume tone with lower volumes is nice, but deadheads love it loud and for better or worse I never have ringing ears after their shows, even the ones where I was 30 ft from the band

[@johnm3152]

Less sluggish tempos would be kinda nice as well.

[@michaelgartman5308]

How do you not hear it? I think it's perfect level

[@ricyjo]

The other one is traditionally NOT bluesy. It had a forward momentum and it hit you with intensity; it was exciting. This version is ultra-soft. *yawn*

[@ExtremelyOCD]

They're not out there to just keep doing things the way they always have but to reinvent songs, try things out, change things up. In their prime, the Dead were always exploring, testing the waters.

[@ricyjo]

@@ExtremelyOCD whole lotta rounded corners out there lately... DON'T EASE ME IN!!

[@criticman123]

@@ricyjo Dead and Co. is all round corners, blame the three libras? HA! Jerry just had that mean bite that you rarely see in musicians. Miles Davis had it, and he summed it up right when he said that the note is 20% and the attitude is 80%

[@alidabirnia2882]

Thank you! John Meyer is blues everything. Eyes of the world, morning dew, brown eyed women and he's trying to be buddy guy or stevie ray vaughn. It's quite bad.

[@willietarkington1628]

What’s with the negativity? Jerry wouldn’t mind. He’s enjoy this all the same.
