One of the more crucial components to the Grateful Dead legacy is taping. While taping no longer means producing physical tapes, fans attending each Dead & Company have been passionately devoted to sharing those recordings. Fortunately, with the ever-growing Archive.org database, fans have unprecedented access to countless live show recordings.
Last night, Dead & Company brought their wares to the First Niagara Pavilion in Burgettstown, PA, bringing fans some great Dead classics and a handful of originals, including their first time ever playing Bob Dylan’s “Maggie’s Farm.” The great show was captured by taper Sean Fagan.
Dead & Company resume their tour tomorrow night, July 15th, with a two night run at Fenway Park. Stream last night’s show in full, below.
