Performance Notes

It was the opening track on the Grateful Dead’s 1977 studio album “Terrapin Station,” but “Estimated Prophet,” as was so often the case, found its fullest expression in live performance. The Bob Weir/John Barlow composition depicts a certain kind of character commonly seen in the post-Summer-of-Love milieu of Northern California – a guy with delusions of clairvoyant and messianic powers who’s certain that things are “gonna be just like they say” (“they” being the voices in his head). The musical setting – a minor-key reggae-inflected feel over a tricky 7/4 rhythm – sets an appropriately unsettling mood, which is relieved here and there by the soaring refrain of “California!” The result is a song that somehow feels ominous and uplifting all at once.

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.
