Performance Notes
In the early 70s, the Grateful Dead started building improvisations around a lively little riff based on an E Major 7th chord that reminded quite a few people of the rhythm guitar part from the great 60s soul hit by Archie Bell and the Drells, “Tighten Up.” Eventually, that lick evolved into the foundation of one of the most enduring songs in the Dead catalog, “Eyes Of The World,” which made its recorded debut on “Wake Of The Flood” in 1973. All these years later, the song remains a highlight of many a live show, as you’ll hear in this version, with instrumental solo contributions by John Mayer, Jeff Chimenti and Oteil Burbridge. - Gary Lambert

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. The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.
Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours.

It took me about 60 years, but I finally discovered what all the fuss was about. The biggest touring band? In my opinion, its about having a magical experience listening to these stories through genius lyrics and accompanied by a wonderful mix of instrumental flexibility that can let you be totally invested emotionally in the song. Each song takes you on a journey. And the variance of how each song is played, leaves you anticipating a new sensation or emotion. And when you are vested in the song, it enters your soul. Thus, the inability to prevent yourself expressing it through dance or whatever unusual motion suits you at that moment. John mayer plays the guitar through his soul. I can feel the story through the solos. Started listening to GD stuff occasionally about ten years ago. Now, it about all I listen to. A nice mellow strain of cannabis only accentuates the experience. And experiencing these songs in that manner cant help but make you a better person and world a bit better place. Its dead and company concert or bust going forward. A special thanks to Jerry Garcia, John mayer, Bob weir and all the band members, staff, and fans that made this happen.

Mellow strain shmellow shtain old timer I want that cannabis strain that hits like some lsd for optimal nature connection with a Dead soundtrack ya know. Gotta send it

[@user-gh9si3po8t]

These dead and company videos and being under the influence of cannabis continously 24 hrs for over a month was a bizarre experience that changed my life. It was part of my inspiration to start a podcast called Your Casino Experience. I didn't really sleep for about ten days had amazing clarity. It literally changed me as a person from the first podcast to today. Watch me change from a money driven podcast to an all charity podcast I can't believe that's me. It's a liberating feeling to cleanse your soul publicly to the whole planet under cannabis. It's like living real-time in your own movie of your life under DMT. Just absolutely life changing. I explain how the dead culture is misunderstood in one episode. This band helped change my life. I get it now. Finally, really get it. What a beautiful thing when you discover it. Love and peace to everyone in this wonderful community!

[@toddackerman9014]

Awesome ❤❤

[@BrandonPetrucci]

I really wish Bobby wouldn't put the pause in the lyric, it just gives the whole flow a 'hiccup'...also wish he would let Oteil or John sing eyes....but he's Bob fucking Weir and he's earned the right to do anything he wants with these songs...

[@jsamc]

It's called art

[@deadreckoning6288]

I'm fine with whatever they want to do but I agree with the hiccup in the flow of the song.

[@bahusofriends5467]

If you ask me, well........he's just Bobby, isn't he? There's very few songs i really love his voice, but on rare occasions hes doing good. Unfortunately not in this song. But his guitar playing vastly improved over the years, i'm not talking about it technically. I mean in terms of doing the exact right thing, right space in the right time also! I do like his playing and all his performance much better then i did back then in the early nineties.. Man....i mean there where time i honestly thougt to myself if he'd put the guitar away it wouldn't do much harm to the song. For example 2nd. Concert Night in London, second Set, 5th. Song I had a bit to much Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds in my system i guess, during the second set i collapsed between row 11/12 and spent the rest of the evening ,flying up there somewhere, where that gigantic Dolby 6 point something System Speakers had been rigged up above our heads and dreamed away, dived full dive into the soundscape.....

[@jeffcarr9391]

I was at that show, up in the nosebleeds on Jeff's side.Fantastic show, but honestly, I thought 6/20/16 at BB&T pavilion across the river in Camden was far better, especially Oteill's solo. He was spot-on perfect in Camden (they all were that show, I thought), but I thought he floundered a little on the back end of his solo here, and John stepped in and picked him up a little like a good bandmate.

[@richardwoulfe484]

RIP all the other Dead keyboard players, but Chimenti is the best the Dead keyboard of them all.

[@sealevelbear]

Man, best? I’d say most polished. But Pig, Keith, Brent, and Vince all had something special. Jeff is a hell of a player, but I wouldn’t put him above the others in anything except finesse, and in that case Vince was a monster musician as well (like Oteil is).

[@deadreckoning6288]

That's cool. I love Jeff....he's phenomenal on the piano, a bit weak on the B3. For my money it's Brent. He was a monster on keys & singing. And then there's Pig. Wasn't around to catch him unfortunately. Keith also had a good run during the Deads most creative era.
