Great show with some caveats.Love Shakedown Street but thought the jam could have been better, didn't get me boogyin like it usually does, kind of flat instead of bouncy. The jams in Half-Step were totally awesome. I noticed my friend having a peak experience during They Love Each Other, prompting me to eat another mushroom. St. Stephen took me to a new dimension and I finally got to hear The Eleven! DEAL stole the show though, absolutely mind-blowing fun! I was literally laughing and don't think I've ever moved like I did during that jam!! Sugaree was great but not as good as last time they played it at Hollywood Bowl when Mayer unleashed blasts of high frequency energy at us. New Speedway Boogy was great too. I noticed that Bobby's guitar sounded too grating during some of the songs, and I even complained about it during Eyes. He soloed during what is usually the best part of the song and would have sounded pretty good if it wasn't so tinny and screechy. Not sure if they had his guitar amped up too high intentionally or not, but it's not a good sound for lead. Estimated Prophet had a really juicy jam and one of best songs of the night after Deal and St. Stephen. Wharf Rat and Sugar Mags were standard fare, but Black Muddy River was stunningly beautiful. Night two was f***ing amazing.

FORUM shows were on point!!!! And as another reviewer said, first set was fire the whole thing from start to finish and the second set all the way thru to drums/space then the wheels fell off (no pun intended), wheel was okay but after that it was like Mayer just stopped driving the jams, like he was just going through the motions, Bobby too. You could really tell with the sunshine daydream which is usually a scorcher, just fell flat. But all in all it was a great show and a great weekend and it made me want to hit the S. F. shows to end the tour and am gonna get tix, I can’t miss it if this is any indication of what the tour is gonna be like. It was really like being at a show back in the 80’s, the feeling, the music, the whole vibe was there for the first time, at least for me.

Bob wasn’t as screechy live in person. Sometimes I wonder, is he playing the same song as everyone else?! But with others in the mix it’s all good. Now, Bob alone with Wolf Bros, completely different story…

Amazing show! Walking into the isles after Deal for the set break, everyone said “AMAZING”!! But Bobby’s guitar tone is abominable! If they just smooth out the “FINGERNAILS ON CHALKBOARD” tone of Bobs guitar it would be beautiful.

Incredible show - Dead & Company is really bringing it to another level this year! Not seeing any drop-off in quality really after the special Barton Hall show. If the first two LA shows and the AZ show are any indication, we are set for a beautiful "final" tour. So far I've made it through Eyes of the World, and Bobby's guitar isn't bothering my old drummer ears. Yes, he is pretty high in the mix, but I think it is more of the high-frequency, screechy tone he is using which bugs some people. I think he is just experimenting and maybe going for a faux-broken guitar vibe or something. Adds a little bit of a rougher edge to things and maybe keeps portions of the jamming from sounding like elevator music, LOL.

Ever since rat dog Bobby is the only one who does the 11 lyrics justice and doesn't rush them, breaks them up to be magical and flowing. The dead and other renditions rush them and mash em up. He does the count down right and all the lyrics. the dead never had the flow of the vocals down for it. It's really surprising as he rushes songs like Stella Blue. Sounding great over all and stoked the boys are doing it one more time. Where's the Billy and the Kids tour announcement? After the disco biscuits get off tour? About to leave Iceland. I suggest listening to the Iceland shows. Best nights of music I na while. And Harpa is the best venue I'll have been to. Next level sound.

Best version of Cold, Rain, and Snow I’ve ever heard… just my personal favorite. Had such an awesome time. The entire show was amazing, the first set was on another level
