Radio and television talk show host Andy Cohen welcomed Jimmy Fallon on his Watch What Happens Live late-night show, where Andy prepared Jimmy for his first Grateful Dead experience. Recently, Fallon revealed via Twitter that he would be attending his first Dead & Company show with Cohen at Madison Square Garden on Halloween.
Preparing to see my first @deadandcompany show on October 31st at @TheGarden. My friend @Andy is helping me prep by sending three songs a week to listen to and learn. What is on the must listen list?

In preparation for the concert, Cohen has been giving Fallon three Grateful Dead songs a week, both studio and live cuts, to master, and on a recent episode of Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live he quizzed Jimmy with a special “Name That Dead Song!” game show.
Andy opened the segment by exclaiming, “We’re about to find out if Jimmy’s been truckin’ along or is he about to feel like hell in a bucket.”
