When Dead & Company descended on The Forum in Inglewood, CA, fans weren’t quite sure what to expect. This newest permutation of Grateful Dead members features two newcomers, Oteil Burbridge and John Mayer, and neither had participated in a Grateful New Year’s celebration before. How would the energy translate?

Fortunately, what resulted was arguably one of the best Dead & Co shows yet. After three previous nights of jamming, the band was warmed up and locked in for 2016. Opening with “Feel Like A Stranger,” the band made quick work of some classic tunes throughout all three sets of the show. They also included a giant flying joint in the festivities, harkening back to performances in the late 70’s.
