Dead & Company Wraps Summer Tour 2022 Shoreline Run

Dead & Company’s concert Tuesday wrapped a two-night run at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California. The band delivered two solid sets at the storied Bay Area venue long associated with the Grateful Dead, including a rarely played Bob Dylan cover in the first set and the tried and true pairing of “Estimated Prophet” with “Eyes Of the World” in set two.

Wearing sunglasses to protect against an eye-level setting sun, guitarists Bob Weir and John Mayer, drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and bassist Oteil Burbridge playfully eased into the start of the first set before properly launching into Weir’s “Cassidy.” The band followed with “Bird Song,” as Weir and Mayer traded verses and joined the others in a lengthy jam.

The sun dipped below the back of the Shoreline lawn while Mayer led the group on “Dire Wolf” featuring Chimenti’s nimble piano playing. Weir then helmed Bob Dylan’s “When I Paint My Masterpiece.” The rarely played cover was followed by a slow-burning “Tennessee Jed.” No longer needing sunglasses, Mayer then took lead on “Here Comes Sunshine,” and steered a jam that took a few swirling turns before settling back into the song’s conclusion. The first set was capped with a romp through “U.S. Blues.”

Read on after The Skinny for the rest of the recap and more.

Dead & Co. kicked off their final set at Shoreline this summer with the traditional “Cold Rain And Snow.” The vintage coupling of “Estimated Prophet” and “Eyes Of The World” provided back-to-back pathways into improvisation. The “Estimated” jam incorporated jazzy elements as Chimenti and Burbridge worked around Mayer and Weir while the drummers did their best to lay back. “Eyes” was another Burbridge showcase as his low end provided the tonal foundation for the exploratory jam it produced.

After “Estimated/Eyes” it was time to visit “Terrapin Station.” The group progressed across the song’s varied sections, riding the multi-part suite into the second set’s free-form segment. Kreutzmann, Hart and Burbridge were left on stage for the evening’s “Drums” sequence, digging into pulsating rhythms and pounding out aggressive beats. Hart’s cryptic droning from “The Beam” bridged the transition into “Space” as Mayer, Chimenti and Weir returned to get in on the mind-bending improvisation.

“The Wheel” initiated the back half of the second set in a joyous fashion. Next came “Standing On The Moon,” which saw Bobby playing slide guitar on the late-career Dead favorite. The Shoreline audience then helped close out the set with a participatory “Not Fade Away.” The crowd continued chanting the “NFA” chorus through the encore break. Dead & Co. concluded Tuesday’s concert with the heartfelt ballad “Brokedown Palace.”

Dead & Company heads to Boulder, Colorado to play two shows at Folsom Field starting Friday, June 17. Livestreams are available via nugs.net. Watch pro-shot video of “Cassidy” and “Cold Rain And Snow” from night two at Shoreline below:
