Pop Break Live: Dead & Company at Madison Square Garden
Dead & Company – Bob Weir (vocals and guitar), Mickey Hart (drums), Bill Kreutzmann (drums), John Mayer (vocals and guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass/drums), and Jeff Chimenti (keyboards) – brought their hotly anticipated (and sadly cut-short) fall tour to Madison Square Garden in mid-November.
The band performed an absolutely epic night of Grateful Dead classics plus cuts from Jerry Garcia, Jesse Fuller, Warren Zevon and Bob Weir’s catalog.
Pop Break’s Matt Heasley caught the band in action on their Sunday night, November 12 gig.
