This was the first Dead and Co show that I have seen.



Recently, I have been listening to a lot of Grateful Dean shows on the archive, and I saw that Dead & Co was performing at Madison Square Garden, so I got tickets for this show.



Even though I had listened to the Dead pretty much exclusively for months, I didn't consider myself a Deadhead before I saw this show, but at some point in the second set, my mind split open and I was on the bus. So this show is at least that good.



There was one fun little trip that happened for me during this show: At the beginning the second set, I had my eyes closed and was enjoying the Scarlet Begonias as it was moving into Fire on the Mountain. When a new voice started singing, which, in my reverie, I believed was Jerry Garcia's! My eyes popped open immediately, only to see that it was Oteil Burbridge who had not sung a note until then.



Listening back, he doesn't sound all that much like Jerry, but for a fraction of a second, Jerry was there for me, which was fun.



The next song was He's Gone, whose sadness was amplified for me, after that experience.
