What a cool new venue!  We loved playing for the inaugural season of what our photographer and #1 fan Michael Chojnowski called "Red Rocks, Jr." The trippy light show was the icing on the cake as we got to give Lansing area Deadheads a treat in Grateful Dead form.  We hope to return next year!

Seven!  Dave, Matt, Bill, and Joseph were joined by vocalist Shannon Lee, keyboardist Steve Rea, and percussionist Gio John Wyatt for another Saturday afternoon of the best American music.  We sang happy 70th birthday to a fan and enjoyed that famous Sardine Room hospitality.  This was our first of 2 gigs that day, so Bill, Dave, Matt, Joseph and Steven drove out to Lansing as soon as we were packed up. We return for our regular brunch on August 29.

What a beautiful day!  After multiple 90+ degree days and several days of unhealthy, smoky air from the Canadian wildfires, mother nature gave a perfect day for an outdoor show - mid 70s, partly sunny, plenty of clean air.  We took advantage of the weather by bringing the Dead to Wyandotte.  We had played 2 other times, but that was with our acoustic quartet.  This time was our full electric ensemble.  Dave, Bill, and Chaim were joined by Joe Odell on guitar and Steve Rea on keys, and we got down to the business of spreading the music.  A great time was had by all!

Finally arriving to an interwebs near you, it's 4k footage from our January performance at the Detroit Red Wings Grateful Dead Night.  This set of 4 songs opened our show that afternoon, with Playin' In The Band > China Cat Sunflower > Corinna > I Know You Rider. Bobby had passed just one week before, so his presence was felt by band and fans.  This is our debut of Corinna, a song premiered by the Dead in 92, just 3 years before the passing of Jerry Garcia. The video title card shows Dave pointing up to Bobby in an emotional moment.

Thank you Bobby, your music and spirit will be with us for the next 300 years (and beyond)!
