Dead & Company - Box of Rain Live Performance at Citi Field, NY
On June 26, 2016, Dead & Company delivered a heartfelt performance of 'Box of Rain' at Citi Field, and the excitement was palpable. This live recording came shortly after the release of their first album, 'Blue Mountain,' in October 2015. That debut studio album featured original songs penned by John Mayer, showcasing a fresh chapter for the band—a blend of nostalgia and evolution. Notably, 'Box of Rain' is a classic Grateful Dead tune that reflects the band’s deep emotional roots, and its performance in Queens that night perfectly embodied the spirit of their musical journey. Fans were thrilled as Mayer, along with other band members like Bob Weir and Oteil Burbridge, breathed new life into this beloved track. This show highlighted not just where they were musically, but also the strong connection between the band and its audience, a hallmark of the Dead experience.
