Performance Notes

The late, great Los Angeles singer-songwriter Warren Zevon and partners Waddy Wachtel and Leroy Marinell didn’t have a rock classic in mind when they offhandedly knocked out this tune in 1975 in response to a joking suggestion by Phil Everly (of Everly Brothers fame) that they start a dance craze called “The Werewolf of London” – indeed, Zevon didn’t even get around to putting it on a record for nearly three years – but a classic it very quickly became when it was released as the first single on his 1978 album “Excitable Boy” and it’s remained a standby on radio playlists ever since. The Grateful Dead picked up on Zevon’s funny, macabre tale quite quickly, first playing it onstage in Columbus, OH on April 19th, 1978, just a few months after Zevon’s record came out. They played it a few more times that year, then put it away for a while, but it reappeared three more times, in 1985, 1990 and 1991 – each time, appropriately enough, on October 31st. Some of the latter-day projects of GD band members have revived it as well – including Dead & Company, who made this performance the encore for their Halloween show at Madison Square Garden in 2019.

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.

Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours.
