As Grateful Dead and Dead & Company fans flock to Las Vegas for Dead & Company’s “Dead Forever – Live at Sphere” residency, they may be surprised to run into the late, great Jerry Garcia…Well, an incredibly lifelike figure anyway.

As a tribute to the iconic songwriter, lead guitarist and lead singer of Grateful Dead, artist Larry “Rubber” Torro has sculpted and unveiled a life-size, lifelike statue currently on display at Animazing Gallery at The Palazzo Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.

Dead & Company, the beloved continuation of the Grateful Dead legacy, is thrilled to announce the extension of their highly successful residency at the state-of-the-art Sphere in Las Vegas. Due to overwhelming demand and sold-out shows, the band will be adding six more performances this August. Fans can now experience the magic of Dead & Company live on the following dates:
