On Wednesday, November 13, Bob Weir and The Wolf Bros, complete with the horn section known as The Wolf Pack, brought their stripped-down renditions of the Grateful Dead catalog to the historic Cincinnati Music Hall. This show, however, was unlike any prior Wolf Bros concerts in previous tours. The band was joined by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, led by conductor John Morris Russell, in an elegant evening of classical renditions of Weir’s familiar tunes.
In West Marin County, California, on Saturday afternoon, a benefit performance by Skeleton Krewe, a unique trio (Stephen Inglis, Barry Sless, and Rob Barraco) in which each member possesses decades of high-level Grateful Dead-esque experience, was enhanced by the presence of two powerhouse musical guests (Pete Sears and Jay Lane), both of whom have displayed their own improvisational prowess seemingly forever.

In the shadowed recesses of a desert oasis, where the neon lights of Las Vegas flicker like distant stars, Dead and Company brought their grand odyssey to a close on the evening of August 10th, 2024.

I didn’t plan on going to the Sphere to see Dead and Company (a.k.a. “Dead & Co.”) during their months-long “Dead Forever” residency. But after missing U2 and Phish during the inaugural year of the high-tech Las Vegas arena, it was high time I went to check out the uber-visual experience. It doesn’t hurt that Dead & Co.
