Set list compiled by Rob Scalcione Because the Phans want to know!
The opening verse sung by a projection of Jerry Garcia, perfectly blended in with the live performance of Sturgill Simpson, and this tribute band assembled by Don Was, including Phil Lesh’s son Grahame Lesh on guitar m
The camera cut to the balcony where the remaining members of the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann sat with their family, and the emotion evoked by the sight and sound of Jerry from Bob’s wife Natasha Weir, and tearful eyes from Jerry’s daughter Trixie Garcia. Jerry Garcia passed away August 9, 1995.
I don’t think there was a Deadhead watching who wasn’t in tears as well. Such a beautiful tribute.
During another emotional part of the set, Grahame Lesh took a verse while an image of Phil was projected near him. Phil Lesh passed away recently, on October 25th, 2024. He knew of the Kennedy Honors, and as I understand, was planning on being there.
“Bobby & Mickey were on stage alone for Lazy River Road – very different!!” (Bob Scalcione)
Lazy River Road – Bob Weir & Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead, performing this song – just the two of them on stage, as part of Dead & Company: Dead Forever, Sphere, Las Vegas Thursday 8.1.2024 – Jerry Garcia’s 82nd birthday. As the two OG GD in D&C, this was a fitting tribute to their beloved band mate Jerry Garcia, and reports from those in attendance were that it was a very moving take on the song, and not a dry eye in the house.
For setlist statistical purposes, this was the first performance of the song as Dead & Company, though it was just the two of them on stage, Bob Weir on vocals and guitar, and Mickey Hart on percussion.
Here is the rest of the setlist, from the hands-down king of setlists, good ol’ grateful Bob Scalcione!
