I went to a reggae concert recently in L.A. and it reeked of weed, and not in a pleasant, there's a joint over there, maybe one over there. I'm always thankful that I'm not a Dead concert. I imagine it full of white people who over indulge and definitely can't dance.

Huge Dead fan and don't like John Mayer with them. Would not pay to see it and after hearing him doodle in some of his own songs in the middle of jams it just all seemed so wrong.

Saw the show last night in Buffalo.
Great crowd, smell of weed permeating throughout the arena everywhere. People dancing on every level including the luxury boxes. Lots of drinking and partying inside and out. All the people were polite and friendly. Just the atmosphere was worth hanging out for.
Music sounded great, John Mayer was brilliant, and he brought that Garcia guitar sound with his own lead noodling. Oteil Burbridge surprised me with some really nice bass playing and appeared to be genuinely enjoying himself. Bob Weir was in a groove. The drumming spot on. The setlist wasn't their best in my opinion, Boston the night before was the best yet. The intermission was great addition to the show and a nice way for everyone to refill, stretch their legs, hit the restrooms,and chat with each other. A rarity with other bands.
I think that the Dead has finally found the right mix for an extended run again if they all continue to hang out. It has become THE must see tour now. Don't miss it if it stops in your town.
So for 2015 I've seen the Stones, McCartney, and the Dead. Trying to make it to Stevie Wonder next week.

Why would Oteil Burbriges playing surprise you? Haven't you ever heard of The Allman Brothers?

I wasn't born yesterday.
Playing is one thing, fitting in with another legendary band quite seamlessly, and learning an expansive catalog of songs that change from show to show is an impressive undertaking.

I dont know what people see in this band. Even Keith doesn't like them.

Is that a pre-requisite?

That's the only Dead song I know, thanks to the incomparable Los Lobos.
