Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden and ending the year with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California. Since then, the band has gone on to complete three record-breaking U.S. tours, performing to more than a million fans. The 2017 summer tour, which lasted from the end of May through the first of July, drew in nearly 500,000 fans and consisted of 20 concerts, including two-night stands at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Shoreline Amphitheatre in San Francisco, Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., Fenway Park in Boston, and Wrigley Field in Chicago. The back-to-back sold out shows in Chicago drew in over 80,000 fans and set the ballpark’s all-time record for most tickets sold for a single concert (43,600). Fans and music critics alike continue to praise Dead & Company’s live performances: “The planets themselves were in alignment, and all was right with the world last night in Camden. Throughout the epic, nearly four-hour experience, the entire amphitheater was buzzing… a band that pays all the respect in the world to the history and legacy of The Grateful Dead while still barreling forward, eyes wide open, into the future..” – Asbury Park Press “As did the group’s corresponding show last summer, this one proved a forceful musical statement that revealed the ensemble performing somewhere near its peak.” - Boston Globe “It was a mostly magical trip back into the Dead zone.” – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “It is clear to see the new reincarnation for The Grateful Dead still has as strong a pull as ever.” – National Rock review “Last night saw the group truly dialed into one another, hitting their groove, and putting on an electric show… With a non-stop five-song sequence opening the first set, from the get-go, Dead & Company came ready to play.” – Live For Live Music “…delivered its special magic last night.” – The Columbus Dispatch “From the beginning, the entire band was locked in, transitioning through songs with ease and with a heightened sense of urgency to their playing.” – Albany Times-Union Dead & Company 2018 Tour Dates: WED 5/30/2018 Mansfield, MA Xfinity Center+ FRI 6/1/2018 Camden, NJ BB&T Pavilion+ SAT 6/2/2018 Camden, NJ BB&T Pavilion+ MON 6/4/2018 Cincinnati, OH Riverbend Music Center^ WED 6/6/2018 Noblesville, IN Ruoff Home Mortgage Music Center+ FRI 6/8/2018 Atlanta, GA Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood+ SAT 6/9/2018 Raleigh, NC Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek^ MON 6/11/2018 Saratoga Springs, NY Saratoga Performing Arts Center^ WED 6/13/2018 Hartford, CT XFINITY Theatre^ FRI 6/15/2018 New York, NY Citi Field** SAT 6/16/2018 New York, NY Citi Field** TUE 6/19/2018 Darien Center, NY Darien Lake Amphitheater^ WED 6/20/2018 Cuyahoga Falls, OH Blossom Music Center^ FRI 6/22/2018 East Troy, WI Alpine Valley Music Theatre^ SAT 6/23/2018 East Troy, WI Alpine Valley Music Theatre^ FRI 6/29/2018 George, WA Gorge Amphitheatre^ SAT 6/30/2018 Eugene, OR Autzen Stadium^ MON 7/2/2018 Mountain View, CA Shoreline Amphitheater+ TUE 7/3/2018 Mountain View, CA Shoreline Amphitheater+ FRI 7/6/2018 Chula Vista, CA Mattress Firm Amphitheatre+ SAT 7/7/2018 Los Angeles, CA Dodger Stadium^ WED 7/11/2018 Albuquerque, NM Isleta Amphitheater+ FRI 7/13/2018 Boulder, CO Folsom Field** SAT 7/14/2018 Boulder, CO Folsom Field** ^Tickets going on sale Friday, January 26 at 10 AM local time +Tickets going on sale Saturday, January 27 at 10 AM local time **Not ticketed through Ticketmaster.

  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

  • Bob Weir of Dead & Co. Plays D'angelico
    For Immediate Release: BOB WEIR OF DEAD & CO. PLAYS D’ANGELICO GUITAR ON STAGE TO HELP PROMOTE CHARITY AUCTION Weir Performed “Peggy-O” with the Signed, Customized Guitar in Worcester, MA Last Night WORCESTER, MA – With Dead & Company getting rave reviews across the Northeast, Bob Weir continued a relatively-new tradition of playing a signed guitar on stage to help boost a charity auction. Last night at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, Weir played “Peggy-O” with a D’Angelico guitar signed by all the members of Dead & Company. The one-of-a-kind EX-SS guitar, which also features the Dead & Company logo on its pick guard, is being auctioned on the tour to benefit more than a half- dozen charities. Currently, the high bid sits at $11,500. The guitar will be “Truckin’, up to Buffalo, ”on display and open for bidding tonight on the concourse as the First Niagara Center, and then will continue across the country with stops in Columbus, OH, Greensboro, NC, Atlanta, GA and more. HeadCount, a non-profit organization that promotes civic engagement and voter registration through music, organized the auction and is bringing it to most cities on the Dead & Company tour. The person with the highest bid by the end of the tour – from any city – will become the guitar’s proud owner. Weir first played a D’Angelico guitar on stage during the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows last summer. That guitar sold at auction for $526,000, making it the 18th most expensive guitar ever sold and netting nearly $30,000 each for 17 different charities.

Garcia also founded and participated in a variety of side projects, including the Saunders-Garcia Band (with longtime friend Merl Saunders), the Jerry Garcia Band, Old and in the Way, the Garcia/Grisman acoustic duo, Legion of Mary, and the New Riders of the Purple Sage (which Garcia co-founded with John Dawson and David Nelson).

To support the charities, instrument makers D’Angelico and Remo donated custom-made Dead & Co. items to be signed by the band and auctioned in select cities on the tour. Similar items generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in Participation Row auctions at the Lockn’ festival and the Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary concerts. A signed D’Angelico guitar sold for an eye-popping $526,000 at the final Grateful Dead concert in Chicago in July. The next installment of Participation Row will be staged in the Madison Square Garden concourse outside sections 108 to 118. Concert-goers will be invited to visit any of the organizations and take socially conscious actions such as registering to vote, joining the bone-marrow donation registry, or petitioning for tighter environmental regulations. For every action completed, the attendee’s name will be entered into a raffle to win a Dead & Company tour poster signed by the band. The organizations featured on Participation Row will include the Rex Foundation a charitable non- profit established by members of the Grateful Dead in 1983, the bone marrow donor screening organization Love Hope Strength, environmental groups Reverb and Mom’s Clean Air Force, the Multidisciplinary Associations for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and HeadCount, which specializes in voter registration and civic engagement through music.

  • Land of the Dead: San Francisco, Where It All Began by Ben Fong-Torres from Rolling Stone / September 21, 1995
    Land of the Dead: San Francisco, Where It All Began By Ben Fong-Torres From Rolling Stone / September 21, 1995 When in the mid-Sixties San Francisco came to represent nothing left to lose, there was a handful of identifiable pioneers that changed the face, the sound and the style of pop culture. The changers included the concert promoters Bill Graham and Chet Helms, poster and light-show artists, hosts and alchemists like Ken Kesey and Augustus Owsley Stanley, radio pioneer Tom Donahue, jazz critic Ralph J. Gleason and - yes - Rolling Stone. At the epicenter, of course, were the musicians. Early on, the Grateful Dead, along with a few others, played free concerts as often as paying gigs. Extending their songs into jazz-like improvisatory jams, they broke down the lines between artist and audience. Back then we -- Rolling Stone and the Grateful Dead -- were brothers in arms. The Dead did it onstage; we watched and listened, reported, ranted and raved. For our very first issue -- published in November 1967 -- we lucked into a story for the ages: the Grateful Dead getting busted at their Haight-Ashbury digs. The police had had it up to their badges with freaks flaunting various laws. Inviting local media along for the roust, they barged into the house at 710 Ashbury St., where most of the Dead and their old ladies lived, and arrested two band members and nine associates and friends on dope charges (Jerry Garcia wasn't one of them; he was out at the time). Baron Wolman, Rolling Stone's first photographer, snapped shots of Bob Weir walking down the front steps, cuffed to Phil Lesh's girlfriend, and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan and Lesh outside their bail bondsman's office across from the Hall of Justice.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fan-Based
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fan-based movement launched to “thank the Grateful Dead for 50 mind-bending years” April 21, 2015 – When you go to an anniversary party, you bring presents, and the Grateful Dead’s 50th anniversary shows should be no exception. So say the Deadheads who started nfadead50.net to organize massive displays of gratitude for the band during their upcoming Fare Thee Well shows in Santa Clara, Calif., and Chicago, Ill. But what do you get the band who has everything? “We’re calling on Deadheads everywhere to do two things,” said Rob Neff of Baltimore, Md., who founded the group’s Web site and Facebook group. “The first is that we want to raise the largest donation ever collectively given to the Rex Foundation, the band’s charitable foundation.” Fans can always donate to the Rex Foundation independently, but if donors go through the Not Fade Away site (http://www.nfadead50.net), they can earmark their donations as being part of the fan-based movement. Fans are encouraged to follow the instructions carefully. The Rex Foundation is keeping track of how much is raised through this effort, as an explicit “thank you” to the Grateful Dead from the fans. And the second present for the band? “We also are calling on everyone to sing ‘Not Fade Away’ to the band at the start of the second set all five nights of the Fare Thee Well tour,” said Neff. Normally, if the band plays the song “Not Fade Away,” it happens at the end of the second set.
