The concerts flawlessly achieved what Dead & Company is meant to do: pay homage to a beloved band while bringing together generations of fans to celebrate the Grateful Dead’s rich history. The two performances were both incredible yet so different they delivered such a rare experience that I felt a part of history just by witnessing them. While I had expected these concerts to be phenomenal - you don’t build up a reputation like the Dead’s with subpar skills - there was something extra special about the environment at Citi Field. On July 15 and 16, Dead & Company performed the final shows of its summer tour at Citi Field in New York, pulling in masses of Deadheads from across the east coast. Now that I’m grown and my parents’ love for the band has evolved into my own, riding about six hours on the Dartmouth Coach to New York to see Dead & Company - the Grateful Dead legacy band featuring icons Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti - was an easy sacrifice to make. I have been a Deadhead since birth both my parents are avid fans and have been playing their music since before I could walk.
The Grateful Dead have been the soundtrack to all my best memories - the ride to and from school every day, my dad singing “Brown-Eyed Women” to me while making pancakes every Sunday morning, driving to Atlanta for my first Dead & Company concert in 2017.
