Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Dead & Company's final tour before their 'farewell' run—making this Arizona heat one of their last desert rituals. Mayer reportedly broke three strings during 'Fire on the Mountain' and didn't flinch.
The 'Drums > Space' sequence here honors the Grateful Dead's 1970s experimental era, proving jam bands can still terrify suburban parents in 2023.
