I was out of the loop on the Dead and company thing. Saw them on New Year's Eve. Wow, what a show!! I'm a huge fan now.
I only saw "The Dead" once. With Warren Haynes. It was good but not amazing. Over the Hills and Far Away cover was very cool.
The Grateful Dead in Santa Clara was very good. Trey is a great fit. But coliseum shows are just too big.
John Mayer was fantastic with the Dead. He brought something new and different. Hearing all those songs with him breathed new life into them. His guitar improvisations were really good. Watching him work with Bob was a treat. They seemed to tighten things up a little. In the past sometimes they jammed a little too long. Bob would motion to John when it was time to move on and John would finish up what he was doing, nod, and they'd move back into the chorus.
The Forum in LA is great now. First time I've been there. They did a great job with the remodel. It's more compact than any other basketball arena I've been to. We scored first row of the upper section right in the middle for only $25 each. Best deal I've had for a concert in ages.
Also first time I've seen a New Year's Eve show. I wanted to do that for ages. It went from 8:30 to 1:30. With a number of breaks. I want to see every New Years show from now on!
Here's someone's video of the whole thing: [Click to View YouTube Video]

Well as my old man use to say:
"hippies are living proof that cowboys f*#k sheep"
Of course, he was a cowboy and I'm a hippie...not exactly sure what he was trying to say...

Hey The Fet-
Thanks for the review.
I'm sure Dead&co have jelled more since that stream I watched. They're sounding pretty darned good.
Interesting choice, The Forum for NYE.
I saw some insane shows there in the 80s so there's plenty of exploded brain cells and hippie DNA floating around in that place, even after the remodel.
Glad you had a blast.
Covelocos was there too, maybe he'll chime in.
My first bootleg had an incredible Spanish jam, I can still here it now, even though I wore the tape out. Coincidentally, it was Trey Anastasio's first show.
Hartford 10/14/83 (DP#6)
Don't even bother with the 1st set
The second is one of my all time favorites.
If you like early 80s Dead this is a must listen 2nd set

Edit , 2/14/16; A valentines memory...
I took a sweet - hart to the 10/14/83 show,
her folks were Greek, from the 'Connecticut Gold coast'
so it was a very posh crash pad after the show----Patrice Pedizzimus,
I called hr Dizzy Mouse.
2 days after the show, (that she did not get into as I did ),
she came up to the cabin that I was living in.
On Easy street ;
The Easy Street cottages Paul Smiths NY.
she knocked on the door and jumped in bed,
telling me thank you so much!!?.
someone else had turned her on to what a great 1st show she'd been to.

Just got tickets for the Saratoga Performing Arts Center in June in NY.
My parents live nearby, good time to plan a visit!
I'm listening to drljefe's link above right now, so GOOD! The Dead are definitely an acquired taste, not polished pop by any means. But so different than EVERY other band. The way they can segue from a jam slowly into an established song, seemingly knowing what the rest of the band is thinking is wild. It takes the audience a little while to figure out the new song and then you hear the cheers. So cool.
Not to mention being about the only band being so for the fans that they allow tapers, so you can go back and listen to any show you want.

Yeah the Fet!
That's a show that I much prefer the audience recording over the board.
I'm glad you gave it a listen. One of my all time faves.
