Great fun!
Set list and playing was inspired. I give special kudos to the band for their killer version of Cumberland Blues. They certainly didn't slow this one down - killer energy and groove (which fooled me - I thought they were going into Big River, not Cumberland). Not as the Grateful Dead played it but unique to Dead and Company.
Bob wailed at times, including playing some ripping leads. The closeups of the band members' faces on the venue's huge screens showed them smiling and engaging with each other throughout the show.
I especially appreciate how the venue and band combined to require proof of full vaccination and personal ID to get in. And also how Dead and Company, during the break, posted slides on its efforts to combat global climate change.
Set 1:
Cold Rain and Snow
Feel Like a Stranger
Mr. Charlie
Friend of the Devil
Dire Wolf
Liberty
Bird Song
Don't Ease Me In
Set 2:
Here Comes Sunshine
Cumberland Blues
He's Gone
Scarlet Begonias
Fire on the Mountain (Oteil Burbridge on lead vocals)
Drums

Black Peter
Sugar Magnolia
Encore:
Black Muddy River
