The Dead & Co. tour opener in Raleigh was really something special. As many times as I have played Walnut Creek Amphitheater (I don’t know what they call it this year) I can’t remember having so many different feelings swirling around in my spirit before a show.
Seeing the relief and joy on so many faces was really beautiful. I think we all reached a new level of not taking things for granted together. Though Monday’s storms joined the Variant in threatening our happy place we made it through to the other side. It sure seemed like we needed a miracle and we got it.
Thanks to our amazing Dead and Company CREW who are seriously going above and beyond to make sure we can bring you this music. Their jobs are hard in the most ideal of circumstances. These days it’s just crazy what they are having to go through to help us bring you this music.
PLEASE BE AS SAFE AS YOU CAN OUT THERE. And THANK YOU!
