Dead and Company, made up of original members of Grateful Dead along with a number of special guest artists, stopped in Troy, Wisconsin last night and brought a surprise. Although John Mayer has become a permanent member of the band while they are on on the road, the Dead also brought out Justin Vernon, the mastermind behind Bon Iver.
It's rejuvenating to see nearly two opposite generations of music with a gap of over forty years, come together and simply jam for Dead heads and new fans alike. See the the crew jam during their rendition that night of "Bird Song". It certainly gets heavy around the 12:00 minute mark.
Dead and Company are on the road for another two weeks. Lucky for all of us, they will also be performing a total of four sets at music, arts and camping event, LOCKN' Festival taking place August 23rd - 26th in Arrington, Virginia. Take a peek at the event and look at your ticketing options HERE!
