Dead & Company

In the summer of 2018, Dead & Company was well into their groove, riding high on the waves of their 2017 album, "Ghosts of the Forest," a side project led by Phish's Trey Anastasio. However, their true essence as a continuation of the Grateful Dead legacy shone brilliantly during their live performances, particularly on July 7, 2018, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. This recording of "Cumberland Blues" captures the band at a pivotal moment in their journey, highlighting their ability to blend classic Dead tunes with fresh interpretations. Interestingly, the Dodger Stadium concert marked part of their extensive summer tour, which drew thousands of fans, showcasing not only their musical prowess but also their undeniable connection with the audience. It’s a beautiful reminder of how live music can take on a life of its own, perhaps striking a chord or two in a listener’s heart.
