Performance Notes
Perhaps the closest the Grateful Dead ever got to a topical song about a specific event. Robert Hunter’s lyric to “New Speedway Boogie” was a response (in typically oblique form) to a dark day in rock ‘n’ roll history - the Rolling Stones’ ill-fated free concert at the Altamont Speedway in Northern California on December 6th, 1969 - and to the wave of finger-pointing and recrimination that followed. Jerry Garcia quickly set Hunter’s words to music, and the Dead played the song live for the first time two weeks to the day later, on the 20th, with the trauma of Altamont still fresh in so many minds, and the band recorded it as the closing track to side one of “Workingman’s Dead” shortly thereafter. Even with its lightning-in-a-bottle origins, the song’s refrain - “…this darkness got to give” - has remained relevant in troubled times over the ensuing decades. - Gary Lambert

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 in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.
Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours.

I lived through these times and hearing Jerry sing this live for the next few years was chilling , dark and a desperate plea for love and reason. That's how I felt it then and over 50 years later, still so sadly true as then. Never give up, keep shining your love light & leave it on.⚡️🖖🏽⚡️🎸⚡️
Feel ya, there were days between
I can't wait to spend a little time on the mountain and a little time on the hill (:
I did that very thing at alpine last year for 2 days.. Good times.
Wow JM is really in the pocket on this one. .you go boy!!!!

Cameraman is doing God's work during the solo

I'm an atheist, but I'll agree with that comment.😁
Smoking version !!! Thank you DeadnCo for these kick ass uploads ✌️👊
Thank YOU Jason D ⚡
@@Deadandcompany this is the first time I've seen you reply to a message
Thank you John for bringing DEAD into life again. We all deadheads appreciate it
PerDeaditly said!!
Wow, I didn't know this was written about Altamont. I believe my dad was there. I was born a month later. No wonder I had the sticker with these words on my truck windo for so many years. Close to home, still..... One way or another this darkness IS giving. So much love, thats how.
Grateful to have been at this show🎶💀🎸🥁🎸🥁🎸🎹🎤
I always wondered what that box Oteil was standing on while he’s barefoot, but apparently its so he can feel the Bass vibrations. Pretty awesome!
Where's Phil?
So is bobby
@@dansoltys6204 phil has hes own band phil and friends
Doesn't matter where or when I see Oteil playing, he looks like he's having a LOT of fun!
The Fender Bass Box standing thing
Filled with nothing but enthusiasm love how it Fades off
shout out to all that ENTHUSIASM!!! god, I need some of that everyday..."sun so dark and the hour so late"
The power of the boys lives in so many still
Such a nice throwback. This was my second time seeing them, and I cannot wait for this summer at Gillette. Stay Grateful amigos!
this is one of their best songs, it always sounds great when they play it, mayer just kills it on the guitar, love it.................................................
This has to be one of my favorite dead tunes..bad ass version,right here
Sorry, wrong thumb.
Bob’s killing it!
I just heard another G.D. "cover band" somewhere on youtube just prior to hearing this. Those guys were excellent musicians and played the song great just like all the "cover bands". And I hated them just like all the others. Then I stumbled on these guys. I had not much hope yet again. I saw Weir was in it which was a good sign but I really didn't hold out much hope. 5 seconds into it and I'm on high alert. WAIT A MINUTE! What's going on here? These guys sound great! They are noodling around a slow beginning just easing into it. Actually, more like letting it evolve! I am watching and listening in literal disbelief. These guys don't suck! They're not just doing a great rendition of this song. Everybody does that and they all miss the mark. Hence, for me, they all suck. But these guys sounds real. In touch. Connected. Coordinated. I listen to each guy on his instrument which is hard for me because, believe me, I know nothing about music. But I know I like each of these guys and the way they play IMMENSELY! This is unheard of for me. It is NOW OFFICIAL! I am bowled over! Best Grateful Dead song I've eve heard by a Non-Grateful band. Yes, I know Bobby is in there. I am sure Bobby is the leading vibe/spirit but those other guys also seem like they are sincerely in that same space. I love the fact that I love the guy on lead guitar. Normally I hate the lead because they always seem to be trying to hard to be "amazing". He wasn't trying to be or play Jerry Garcia but he seemed to have his own Garcia-esque-ness. I neve say that!!!! I loved him! I loved all the others! Hey Bobby, if you put this band together you deserve to be immensely proud because you did a great job! Best ever! Thank you!
The drummers were also with GD. Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart. Maybe their older selves made you not recognize them?
The lead is John Mayer, with Oteil Burbridge on bass and Jeff Chimenti on keys.
Always love me a NSB. One of my faves.
Bob's on point. All business
Very well done.
This is hippie blues the way it supposed to be!
Such a great version!
Love it!!
2016, 2017, 2018 Dead and Company were AMAZING! 2019 was the beginning of the end. Bob lost too many steps to keep up with Mayer. NEVER forget Jerry's Music is super complicated at times. TIME waits for NO ONE>
Awesome.
For those of you who are not fond of john mayer put that in your pipe and smoke it! outstanding, 2 thumbs up for bobby 2!
I love Jeff. I wish he would have joined right when Brent left (RIP).
5:15-5:20 wow..... Those outside sounds
These 5 seconds are why I keep coming back to this show
Amazing
@@morgancoyan9242 agreed...
Love this one
Wow this is really good
Thank God for John
Really good, you guys! You connected -
So nice, on the other hand I sure do miss what somethinglikemayer put out!
This is one of my all time fave Dead songs.... Don't shoot me, but Jack White would sing this really really well!!!
The Dead are still alive :-)
Damn, that rake John does in the first half of the solo with his fingernails on the 12th fret is nasty
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!
Grateful
john mayer is dressed like a GTAV online character
Johnny is in his zone.
this video makes me dance like an idiot in my living room
Good one Bobby!
❤💕❤💕❤

Came to love Dead and co
JM heard Althea fell in love with grateful dead, had Bobby on late show and they got together
JM management team did the practical and Dead and co was born 2016
We are all now blessed with this wonderful music
Thanks grateful dead members And new members
What a band
Going 6 yrs later mega tour this yr
Thanks for your nice comments
Excellent! See you in George, Washington! 🎶
In the original arrangement the "one way or another" doesn't come in until after the three verses. Ever since they brought it back in 91 they've been singing that part between the verses as well. Not sure why, I think the song works much better structured the original way.
🌹💀
Bob started looking like Jerry
Question for guitar players: when John is just jamming to the intro… is he playing just one scale the entire time? Or is he kinda jumping between scales that fit in the melody?
Sounds like he’s playing both E pentatonic minor and E pentatonic major depending on the phrase. He might be playing the E blues scale as well. I haven’t sat down to try and transcribe it note for note but all those scales would fit depending on what kind of mood you want to put across.
Really miss Jerry on this song . His vocals just had more passion. I miss Jerry n general. I’m glad these guys are playing and it’s good just not the same which of course is understandable 🙏👌☮️😊
Hugh Snyder I miss Jerry on EVERY SONG!
One of the Dead's more heartfelt, and meaningful songs. Turn it up.....
They weren't ugly they just were just nearly spoiled. Very little of my box lasted beyond two or three days.
I dig the Cold Weather boots lol
If it ain’t broke, Don’t fix it!
Those pants!
So a blues in E.
This aside, how to make this darkness end?
keep truckin
Patience
Light
Sou o único brazuka aqui?
Bob's still hanging on to that bluesy voice I see
Your hair lookin crazy Bobbi...
M
Is better tha the original: great bass guitar: not better the original, seriously, but very good version...3/5 of original deads..has it weight...
Why are they playing slow!?
They're not for this song, but perhaps your thought process is?! One way or another...
terrible
Another awful performance from this guy
What guy are you referring to?
