Dead & Company

In August 2018, when Dead & Company performed at the LOCKN' Festival, they were in the midst of a robust touring and recording phase as a band. Prior to this performance, the group had released their album "The Dead & Company: Live in Concert" in 2017, which captured their live essence and reaffirmed their commitment to continuing the legacy of the Grateful Dead. Notably, this performance of "Deal" showcases the band's improvisational strengths and collaborative spirit, hallmarks of their style that pays homage to their roots while also establishing their identity. By this time, Dead & Company had developed a dedicated following, often blending classic Grateful Dead songs with contemporary jam styles during their shows. The LOCKN' Festival, known for its vibrant community and dedication to music, provided a fitting backdrop for Dead & Company's engaging performance.
