After the "pivot" (2018), John could lock in on Jeff for direction. Jeff has made a career of melodically interpreting the mad weird and wonderful musical muse of Bobby Ace Weir.

Totally agree. Its the same tour where Bob began to defer to John to lead.

What’s the “pivot”?

[@soundguysteve1]

Same question on the pivot. Interested!

[@matthewsmuses]

@@MattFoleysGhost The Pivot was during the summer of 2018 just before the two Boulder shows, they moved the Piano to the left (head on) side of the stage, moved Oteill to the right side and John to the left against the Piano. Him and Jeff play the best off each other.

@@soundguysteve1 I chimed in because I was at the shows immediately after the pivot

[@songsfrown5941]

I didn't hear a Dead & Co. Dew that did it for me until Atlanta 23. YMMV.

[@jdharshman5802]

that terrapin/dew was pure magic

[@TheGratefulHead]

Thank you. You make my heart smile. 🫶🏼

[@1BadKitty88]

You are making this little DeadHead very happy @JohnMayer!

[@lisazonfrillo9674]

Awesome

[@bluwaters]

Go see Dead & Co at the Sphere. Just do it.

[@matthewsmuses]

Dew? .... 2019 Shoreline - 2021 Philly in the storm amongst the best I've heard

[@artmusicmind]

That Philly Storm Dew is the one ...

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Definitely 👍

[@JamesAllmond]

Nothing like a deadicated Deadhead interviewing one of the Deadheads in the band... this is good stuff...

[@nelsonw2096]

Funny to think about politics surrounding a guitar solo. I guess we are all the new guy sometimes. 😂

[@kellymamama16]

Yeaaaa Bobby would…lol

[@user-du4cx6ij7x]

Is it true that JM wears cologne nowadays? 😂

"Im thinking about what time it is because I wear a super douchey watch every night (maybe its my less or more douchey watch, youll have to decide) and if Im not worried about the time theres no point of wearing the super douchey watch to tell me what time it is..."
