DEAD & COMPANY: The Latest Adventure Has Begun

By Chip Nelson
Dead & Co.

The latest Grateful Dead tribute tour by three of the four surviving members kicked off Wednesday in the Boston suburb of Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Dead & Company -- led by Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, with an assist from John Mayer, Allman Brothers Band bassist Oteil Burbridge, and keyboardist Jeff Chimenti -- jammed away on 16 songs over two sets, including two that they never did before -- "Alabama Getaway" and The Valentinos' "It's Al Over Now."

Commenting earlier this month from their Bay Area rehearsal space, Bob Weir described a Dead and Company show:
