Subject: Magical Night I attended this show, not expecting very much at all. I'd seen The Dead and Further after Jerry left us, and for me, none of those combinations had IT for me. Sad. I was lost. And for years, I didn't have any music in my heart.



Then, on a whim, I decided to try again. I had no idea what Mayo or Oteil would bring to the stage that night. Oteil was ginning ear to ear all night, and John was looking unsure, YOUNG, and totally amazed by the responsiveness of crowd, I think. Bobby seemed renewed, and energized.



The electricity was swirling in the air that night, you could see it! I knew immediately that we had something very special once again. I sang. I might have even shed a tear or two. I didn't realize until that show how much I needed this music back into my life. 20 years of lifeless music washed away that night. The soul was back.



Thank you for this special recording. Very little exists from these very first early Deadco performances. - November 13, 2019Magical Night

Subject: — Great set, great show. Once you’ve tuned your ear to these guys’ goals, it’s easy to get on with the fun, much less loaded baggage afoot here than at any Furthur concert, IMHO...



Set one sets the table early, and you really can’t complain about anything. West LA? Giddy-up! Johns done his homework...



Eyes > S > F > et al...wow, second set does itself beautifully. The real guts of the show, though, here is that audacious LLR post-Space...I’m rather unfamiliar with d&c setlists, so maybe this isn’t so amazing for those in the know, but I myself can’t remember the last time it was played post-space, esp here daring to occupy the Jet ballad spot. Weir pulls it off, I think, with Mayer alluding to Jers timelessly beautiful contributions to that ol country weeper without outright stealing the lines (and how gorgeous Jer could evoke the core of the tune behind Bobby, esp in the later years.



Bravo boys, bravo... - November 6, 2019

Subject: Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting to be born After Jerry passed I kept up with the various iterations of the Dead. All were fun and the music was solid, but they did not have IT. I heard that there was a new Dead band forming with that guy John Mayer. I remember thinking "My Body is a Wonderland John Mayer?" A few days before this show we picked up a few tickets and decided to check it out. The energy before the show was electric. Things seemed different and strange (in a good way). When the lights went down and they played the first few notes of Truckin' the place went nuts. From that moment on I knew, the band was back. They had IT again. The love in the arena that night was palpable (from the audience and the band). It was like being at my first Dead show again. Thank you for recording this show. And thanks to everyone that hung on and got back on the bus. Enjoy the ride all. - June 12, 2019Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting to be born

Subject: so powerful, moving, and inspiritional i had been going to shows and concerts and even to a couple festivals but when i saw this show (first major dead show) i immediately followed them to greensboro. this reincarnation was so powerful, moving and inspirational. i remember the roar the crowd gave at around 11:40 into eyes. i still think it was the loudest ive ever heard. or i could just be deaf now from all the dead and co shows. - June 18, 2018so powerful, moving, and inspiritional

Subject: A Tear I have tears in my eyes a bit. It seems our band is back and remade from the remnants that are left. This sounds moving, real and something to root for. I look forward with great anticipation to Phillips next Tuesday. Took 'em 20 years but by the sond of it they got it right. Kudos to Mayer for respecting the music - it shows. Never in a million years would I have thought this wold work out. There is always hope. - November 9, 2015A Tear

Subject: Thank you! Thanks for taping this amazing show! John Mayer was fantastic, my God, he can play. I just hope he stays with this awhile before moving on. The show was magical, I haven't felt that way in 20 years. Eyes was beyond words. Brought my teenagers - passing the torch :). Love. - November 8, 2015Thank you!

Subject: Winning LOSER I said after hearing show 1 in Albany that this is the best post-jerry incarnation of the band. After seeing them last Sunday at msg and listening to the Philly and DC shows there is no contest . These guys are taking the music on trips they haven't seen since the 80's. By taking these songs into his soul John Mayer is giving the music and the band new life. Bobby's voice and playing seems livelier than in recent times. Oteil and Jeff fit perfectly. These guys are sounding better every show. I keep going back to LOSER from 4:30-9:00 - it summons the magical roller coaster feel of Garcia. One of the most smoking versions I've ever heard. - November 7, 2015Winning LOSER

Subject: what a show This was quite a fantastic evening. I'm thoroughly impressed with the chemistry John, Oteil, and Jeff bring to the band. The segue from Truckin' to Big Boss Man was awesome - good to hear them doing the Pigpen tune. The second set was just amazing! Bertha was played with the energy of years past and the band didn't let up the momentum until Drums>Space. The entire place was dancing and grooving during Scarlet>Fire. I usually don't pay much attention to Drums>Space but this rendering was definitely worth it. The Wheel is one of my favorite Dead songs and I was so happy to hear them do this late in the second set.



I hope these guys continue to play in this lineup! - November 7, 2015what a show
