With Dead & Company’s major fall tour in the books, we couldn’t help but look back through the band’s tremendous performances. With three of the original Grateful Dead members, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, alongside Jeff Chimenti, Oteil Burbridge and John Mayer, this latest incantation of the Dead continued to pick up steam from night one, and showed no sign of slowing down through their fall tour.
