Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Dead & Company's final tour—Mayer joined in 2015 to keep the Dead's catalog alive, and purists still debate if he's a worthy successor to Jerry.
Three tour debuts in one show (Big River, Black-Throated Wind, Johnny B. Goode) made this a setlist hunter's dream—rare for a casino amphitheatre gig in Missouri.
