Performance Notes
Bob Weir and Robert Hunter only wrote a handful of songs together for the Grateful Dead, as Hunter was primarily joined at the creative hip with Jerry Garcia and Weir’s primary source of lyrics was John Perry Barlow. But the Weir/Hunter joint output, modest as it was, yielded some stunning results, and none more so than “Jack Straw.” Weir was first inspired to tackle the subject matter of Depression-era outlaws on the lam by reading John Steinbeck’s classic novel “Of Mice And Men” and again by seeing the 1939 film adaptation of the same. Hunter’s extraordinary talent for narrative and Weir’s far-reaching musical sensibilities made for a perfect match in creating a captivating piece of storytelling - a cinematic epic somehow encapsulated in the confines of a song, delivered here with power and passion by Dead & Company.

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. The inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.
Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours.

This was my first dead show. No Jerry... but god damm it...life changing experience. So many happy people just dancing and enjoying life. Gotta love it
How long have you been a great fan of mine
@@bobweir5833 Fake Bob, you are still alive. The point!
My first show too! 🙌🙌
John Mayer and The Dead saved each other. Mayer was hating the music business when he joined. Now I can’t picture them without him.
❤️👍👍
Yea for all the people who thought mayer was a pop punk....now they know. Anyone invited to go back and forth with muddy waters cant really have there chops questioned! 🎵
@@adogg9782 don’t forget BB King, Eric Clapton, and Derek Trucks. For gods sake Eric Clapton said that John doesn’t even know how good he really is. Dudes a world class player. Anyone arguing that is a dullard as far as I’m concerned
Ironically, it was one of the only guys that John trusts in the business, who produced all John's major albums, that introduced him to the band, and now that same guy, Don Was, now plays with Bobby in the Wolf Bros. I guess the good folks in that business all find their way to each other in one way or another.
And you can get an AAAAAMEN! from me on that!
I think I’m responsible for watching this video about 578k times.
Hell yeah it's a good one for sure
Lol
The tone on John's guitar is damn near perfect.
IMO, because I'm a big fan of both Trey Anastasio and John Mayer, during this version is Straw, I kept thinking I wanted to hear John's playing with Trey's tone!
perfecto
John is an SRV prototype...them strings gonna bend!
BuT iTs NoT JeRrY
No I didn’t like trey for some reason like he wasn’t sure of himself or something like that , sorry !
I love this version of Jack Straw and I'm and older Dead Head, I saw the boys over the century. Johnny is getting it done, this performance enlightened me to how talented he is. Now I want a 15 minute Waiting on the World to Change, or New Light..lol
Hell yeah!
Yeah. John is a great guitar player in his own right. He's not Jerry, but he picked up the torch. He was already rich and famous. He wanted to do this, and I'm grateful he has.
He's been doing it more and more at his solo shows. We got at least a 10 minute Helpless in Providence last year (pls someone find this)
@@thirdeyekind I did see a 10 minute Gravity..lol
ditto, I'm 70, love this slower tempo, builds up to a cresendo, and John Boy just goes. hey, the fast stuff in 70's was great but we've graduated, this iis good shit
Has anyone ever seen Oteil *NOT* smiling!? Dude has to be the happiest SOB alive!
He stepped in shit, first the Allman's now the DEAD, what is there to not be happy about?
I was at this show too
I'd be happy too if I had his bass playing skills
He’s awesome!
It's clearly because as jerry said nothing left to do but smile smile smile
he squeeked into the best band in the world.. how could he not be
Seeing Oteil smile while singing along while playing is so heartwarming.
This version is giving me chills. John is killing it ❤ I think Jerry is smiling down from heaven digging this big time.
Jerry is on that stage smiling. We’re in heaven right now.
I love this further evolution of talent that is the Grateful Dead ! At its core it is a melding of different sounds and eras , jazz ,blues , rock, bluegrass. Perfection 💀🌹
It’s the 48 or so bars Mayer plays starting around 8:25 that I keep rewatching. Weir even gives a little jump at the peak lick. The dude is the best guitar player I’ve ever heard.
I’ve been a fan of JM’s guitar playing since his first album and when Mayer was announced as lead for Dead and Co, I thought to myself, yes, he is the perfect fit. Staunch deadheads wouldn’t see it at first , but they’ll get what the rest of his fans already knew: JM is a multi-dimensional high caliber musician. He said many times that he always wanted to be “IN” a band. Not just leading his own. Bobby was right to follow his instinct. And JM looks so happy playing these songs. Like a puppy. And of course Oteil and Jeff are such great choices too. God bless these guys.
This particularly hot rendition of Jack Straw backs you up. How good is Johnny on this? Amazeballs!
We are fortunate to benefit from Dead and Company. This collection of musicians is historic imo. Saw them 12-28-19 L A Forum.
Greatest musicians of our time imo!! They are sensational!! Utube is wonderful, live even more!! Have been working on this solo on my "Wolf". Awesome guitar and band.
Sorry, but this sucks. Worst version of the dead ever.
Time to retire
So very well said sir, Johnny is so happy. So are Oteil and Jeff..haha
I think this is the best. Jack straw that they did in their entire 8-year run. Fire!
The one from 7/15/23 is worth checking out, transcendent jam
I never got the Dead until I heard them on five grams of mushrooms. Jerry was playing for people tripping. He knew it. A 20-minute Eyes of the World feels like 30 seconds when your attention is focused like a laser. It's extraordinary.
Gotta love how John just wont quit! Bobby looking at him like ok ok enough John just keeps it going reminds me of Bobby and Jerry so many times Bobby was done and Jerry was like oh hell no!!!!
I love when Bobby looked up expecting Jon beside him for the big finish and John was over with Oteill, who did a 360, or pirouette..lol
And how cool is that actually? In any other medium or band or show it’s seen as a weakness but with the boys back from beginning missing words uneven finish whatever it’s endearing..... gotta love all things Grateful Dead
did that happen back in the day with bobby and jerry?
@@williamconway5377 Yup
William Conway
It happened constantly. Bobby would be ready to get back to a verse or whatever and Jerry would be lost in his chord textures and Bobby would just shrug his shoulders as if to say....well..... guess not.
I was spinning in a tapestry-cape near 3rd base, the back of the floor. This entire show was a Peak experience, without question; bsolutely beyond description! I danced harder than I’ve ever danced, I cried harder during Stella than maybe any show in my life, my spirit soared. It was such a convergence, of so many many emotions, so many beautiful brothers and sisters; absolute perfection. All I got to say: “If this ain’t the real thing, then it’s close enough to pretend...”
The Love you feel and experience is what is real (~)};)
even if almost everything else is more difficult and painful and all the old pleasures subside, there is still this
We can share the women
We can share the wine
And when the women are gone
We can share the whine
This is somehow both urgent and elegant at the same time. Bob was absolutely right to recruit John. Sublime!
Wow! I've been impressed with John's playing since the first appearances stepping into Jerry's shoes. But this recording of Jack straw leads me to recognize his true brilliance, where he embodies Jerry-esque style and takes it into his own realm. I can't imagine another band that is as musically gifted in live performances as this group who are clearly exhibiting the joy of what they're bringing to the world.
Jack Straw is one of the BEST!
One of my favorite solos by Mayer! So good especially when Bobby trying to transition and John won't quit!
Bobby needs to let him play!!!
Jack Straw has produced many a goose bump on this Dead Head’s body over the years ☮️🔥⚡️
cyclesmoking SAME
Right beside your bro .....
John has those fluid runs that separate himself from all the other wannabe dead covers. This dude's the real deal as far as keeping the music going. I approve and am happy to see it.
I've watched this a hundred times and it gets better and better each time!
The 89 North Rutherford New Jersey Jack Straw is a great one.
@@jcolterh How long have you been a great fan of mine?
Wow 🤩! I never knew how much I love John Mayer until now!! Lovin Dead and Co! Keeping the music alive 🎶💀❤️🎸
I agree , without John there would b no more dead music ! He’s so good at whatever he does ! ❤️🫶🏼✌️🤘🪬🔮🪐👽🛸🕊❤️♥️🐰
John Mayer, great job my boy.
Amazing version!!!
...........I was there that night,........it was hot,....'92 degrees,.........my first Dead show......so memorable,.......the only thing is that I totally wish I'd discovered the depth of The Grateful Dead's music much, much sooner. But that's okay,.....it was meant to be discovered in my life,.........this night......now,.....I've become a Dead Head......& loving it...!!! Such a powerful symbol for me to discover them at such a monumental venue.........:) :) :)......!!!!
104 degrees at 1st pitch, not 92
" Luvin' you "
I find it crazy people actually hate John Mayer and if they do I don't see them as dead fans because Mayer brought all of his regular fans into the dead and allow some many more experience this amazing music
I was one of those who absolutely hated John Mayer. When he joined Dead & Co, a bunch of my friends wanted to go see them play. I refused because I considered Mayer to be some teenybopper chick’s music. I was certain that Jerry was rolling in his grave at the thought that Mayer had taken his place. Fast forward to a post Covid world (not so sure about that now), my cousin came out for the Halloween shows at the Hollywood Bowl ‘21. I reluctantly decided to go because I haven’t seen any live music in 2 years and wanted to get out. We saw 2 of the 3 shows. Within a couple of songs in the 1st night, my opinion on John Mayer instantly changed. I have never done a 180 degree turn on someone so fast. I had such a great experience on both nights that I decided to listen to some more of Mayers solo work and am blown away. I’m now convinced that John is not only a great musician and guitar player but also the smartest man on the planet for joining up with the Dead. What a great experience to go to those shows with my cousin and getting a new perspective on music, life and the Grateful Dead. I’ve also gained a new respect for Mayer and his incredible talent. I can’t wait to go to the next show!
Can’t wait till quarantine is over so I can go to my first Dead Show 💀⚡️🌹
Great Northern, out of Cheyenne, from sea to shining sea
Fuckin same I've been dying to go for years
@@brengonefishin dont go to dead and company or you will be bored outta youre mind.... sooooo sloooowwwwww
dont go see dead and company or you will be bored to teears with such a slow tempo.... you actually can hardly dance to any of it
@@dustintaylor112 lol i dance my ass off dosed the whole time boi its fun af
I love how Bob has to reel John in just like he used to have to reel Jerry in sometimes. C'mon, Bobby! He was on a heater! Gotta let him go when he's on fire like that! 😂 I think I remember hearing, in an interview of John & Bobby somewhere, that John gifted Bob a t-shirt that says something to the affect of "Is this going somewhere?" on it because of his constantly trying to bring John back from his solos when they go a bit longer than usual. Awesome.
I love those looks he was getting 😅
I agree 100%
The boy was into it big time
Let’em Ride!!!!!
He’s Friggin’ Killing’ It!!!!
☠️😉☠️
Saw this live with floor seats and a fungus or two. Fantastic first live Dead experience!
It’s beyond me how anyone could not like this band.
When you live in normal radio society in a box, it's very sad cause I love this I'm only 32
Lsd
Hardly anyone here in the UK even knows this exists 😵
@jcjr87 actually I was referring to D&C exclusively. I think the level of musicianship is outstanding. The vocals are what they are but I’m ok w it, not one to be hung up on vocals.
Not all dead heads truly got what the dead's music were all about. They are easy to spot. They're the ones that constantly complain about the slow tempos meanwhile they listen to Cornell 77 over and over LOL
What a smooth Jack Straw!!!!
John and Jeff’s chemistry is undeniable but John and Oteil are right with each other here. Incredible job boys. NFA⚡️
one of my all-time favorite john mayer solos! tears this one up! just look at the crowd's reaction throughout the song. epic.
I agree, Johnny just slays it. One of my faves...
Horrible, just crap
Eric Whyte : It must really suck to know that you’ll never able to carry John Mayer’s guitar case.
I was there near 3rd base for this show. Dodger stadium on a beautiful summer night, typical L.A. crowd rolls in a few songs late, but it built into one of my favorite shows ever. The sound, the vibe, and the set lists were perfect.
I gotta say I didn’t know a lot about John. But holy shit does he bring it... god bless John and his boys
Yeah, he is really not a good add. It's like the male version of Taylor Swift. Soulless pop star. I keep trying but can't dig it. His voice is annoying beyond belief.
@@cactaceous Well, that's your opinion, man. Begs the question of why you're even here listening.
@@joojoosasa Like I said, I kept trying. Long time Deadhead. Done trying.
If Bob hadn't reigned John in with that look at 8:54 they might still be jamming today.
Curious to see how things go tonight! 😊😊😊
😂😂
Bob always wants to cut short JM play!!!!
Watching this and dreaming about Mexico in Jan 2022. Who else is going? I hope they do a sped up version like this one, we all need to dance again.
I finally get it!!!!!! Top of my bucket list!!! Being under the influence continuously for a month has changed my life for the better. And the whole Dead community was part of my inspiration to be a better human being. A big thank you to everyone and hope to be singing and dancing with all of you soon. I am just so happy! Love and peace.
@@user-gh9si3po8t I hope you make it how long have you been a great fan of mine
Saw the Dead for the 1st time in 76 at the Shrine in LA...by the 3rd show in 78 at Winterland, I got on the Bus for over a 100 shows before Jerry's reincarnation....I've seen Dead and Co on every tour near LA as well as the NY years shows in SF....its not the Grateful Dead....that's been reborn into the now...I leave to ride a bicycle around Europe next week...I'm mourning my Mom and a dear friend...but in approximately six weeks I hope to make it back to see the Pennsylyvania shows....I plan to dance some grief away and be with my family...see you there
One of my favourite Dead songs and I love this version. Well sung and played, putting their own stamp on it.
Thank you for loving my aspirations i hope it really gives you peace
He definately makes it a better band but we all will miss Jerry & Brent forever but John is so very good on his guitar ! ❤️🐇🐰🌹👽🪐🛸
There's so many small details that I love about this Jack Straw, it gets better every time I relisten
This is one of my favorite Grateful Dead songs. I haven't been a fan long, I just listened for the first time at 32, but I can't get enough. I'm really glad Dead and Company still play this. Hoping I get a chance to see them soon
Welcome to the show. Jack straw is definitely one of those powerhouses that can be magnetic to those aware and unaware alike, and is one of those unique experiences that leaves you both immensely satisfied but also needing more. The Dead is very special in the way that there will be songs that you aren't very interested in, but as time goes along you get drawn into them, one by one as you go through life and personal growth. I'm 32 also and there are songs that just a year ago I would skip, but today I can't get enough of. It's a quite unique experience, on top of the fact that to begin with no song is the exact same twice, giving a new experience every single damn time.
This is a beautiful rendition of than song.....
John Mayer in this solo...no words.
It's almost like the guitar actually cries, no?
Such a great rendition of this song. Dead sounded great in dodger stadium, it's going to be an awesome summer tour!
They never fail to fill a stadium just like the Gratefuldead love it all & thank u Bobby for choosing the rite guys for this new band who us old deadheads love but will always miss Jerry & Brent but they r having a good time being there with u y’all as u say !
Oteil, Jeff and John are 🔥.
Brings me back to the first time I heard Jack Straw, and the Dead as such. It was January 1978 and my travel companions and I arrived at a guest house in Lakeside, Pokhara, Nepal where a band of freaks from the US, Canada, England and Australia had found each other, and there were about two or three cassette tapes for the tape player. Europe 72 was played again and again and again, all day, every day. Somehow I got into it... ;-)
One of my favorite songs... I must say.. The version played in dallas on 7/2 was sooooo good.
Tyke Randolph agreed. The 7/2 show was great. Sugaree was good too
Leaving Texas second day of July__
@@bobpallow You got that right...
yikes
🎭👤
What an awesome performance!
Never get tired of this one!! Got on the bus in "85, would love to still be seeing Jerry, but I will certain take Mayer when he is killing it up there!! He is an amazing guitarist and vocalist too, glad to have seen him play with Dead & Co many times!
How beautiful wow what a sound The Grateful Dead Pioneer the sound systems we have today they were ahead of their time
As good as ANY Jerry/Dead version EVER...Jerry would surely abide...
Really? John has the tone for the sound. But the vibe is not what creates the magic for me. Bass player not getting close to the tone of the Dead sound. It's ...ok
@@christophergreco6173 🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨
What??? Listen to any Jack Straws from 77, 78 or 79. Not even close. 5/8/77 for a starting point
Got my tickets for September 5 in Hartford. My first Dead show of any kind, can’t wait! Hope they do this!
I was at the show two days before in Mansfield, MA. I unfortunately missed half the show because of Labor Day traffic, but they sounded amazing.
Wow... John's come such a long way, sounding so solid and authentic. Giving John Kadlecik serious competition.
My favorite opener of all time John really owned this one A little slow but done beautifully thanks guys keep on jamming
John is using the bridge and middle pickup. I suspect the middle pickup is the magic. Possibly one of the owsley pickups he made before his death.
Best Dead video yet showing Mayer's take on how Garcia played it. He's not trying to duplicate, just playing his take on this classic.
Have you been to any of my concert?
Love the energy that John, Jeff and Oteil bring to this band. They drive this as much as Bobby does when he feels like being assertive. Thankful to still be able to see Bobby, Bill and Mickey get down even in half time. I don't care if it's not the Grateful Dead, the train is still on the tracks and I'll enjoy it til the line shuts down.
May the dead live on.
9:14 Kids off in the corner rocking out.....Dad steps in to end the fun
😂
The music of the Grateful Dead is timeless no matter who is playing..
This was the best rendition I have ever seen of his song.
its slow as hell. to get through it i had to put it on 1.25x speed to actually hear it at the speed the dead played it. i dont understand why dead & co insists on slowing down all of their songs. the dead wrote them at a specific speed, so they should play them at that speed.
Best version ever!!!!!
How long have you been listening 🎸🎶
Jack Straw !! Hell yeah !
6:00 - 9:00 is just pure jam, i love it . Thank you Johnny boy 👦
Bobby with the signature hop skip at 8:42 to release all that built up tension! You all know exactly what I’m talking about! 72 years old still doing it still got it!!! Love that always have always will jack straw good lovin’ estimated all signature hop skip tension release!!! The best!!!
He’s 73 years old as I’m at , that’s y I say I’m the oldest hippie I know !🐰❤️👽🪐🌹🐇💀☠️❤️🔥☄️💥☠️💀👻❤️❤️🌹🌹
Love it and agree 100 percent! Always did always will but hes been a fitness guru his whole life billy overweight etc
Beautiful rendition. OMG you guys, please come to Europe some day
I saw a interview with bob and he seems to think john is the best fit for the band so who are we to argue with him he also said if you dont like the show dont come im just so happy the music hasnt stopped so the younger generation has the chance to get on the bus
9:17 Bobby: boys... boys...!! 🤣🤣🤣
Absolute beast
Wow america still love rock n roll..
Just wonderful!!!
I was there with both parents, aunt, and her boyfriend. Great show, lots of weed!!
The new guys bring youth back to Bobby ! They all love being there part of it all ❤️❤️🐰🌹🌹🐇🐇👽🪐🕳☮️✌️🕊
Great show. That California crowd was a groovy bunch! 💀🐢🥀
Such a beautiful vibe
Now some time has passed they sound better every year
John Mayer really gets the job done here.
He's not Jerry, but God damn that Mayer can play!
Pretty sure Jerry would approve
It's Meyer
But his voice is godawful.
Disagree tremendously !He makes some funky “godawful” faces while singing for sure 😅
But His music, writing, face, body and ability to go out and play, sing with a notorious band in many countries besides USA is highl
08:53 is so good! Mayer won't stop!
W🔥W Honest John your Love Light Shines So Bright since you join Dead and Company😊thank you for your passion and compassion for keeping Jerry spirit alive💕🎶🎸 calianta Amigo mi Amore🎶🎸🎤🌹🌞😘
Love everything about this performance! Thank You for sharing with us :)
My favorite song. Good job guys.👍
Brilliant!!
This is my favorite version of jack straw
Oh my. i was not expecting this.
Watch Bob toward the end....it's hillarious
Who else has watched this at least 100 times?
EPIC!!
What tone...what formations, what speed.
Outstanding. JM was rolling
I love you guys so much and thanks again for all your support now it’s time for my big announcement my retirement is drawing near but I must make my special announcement I will be back one more time this summer. With ded and company
Encore et encore toujours👍🎩🎸
I was there!!! I won better seats at the GD Pop-up store and miracled my original tickets! Thanks for posting! It helps my PTSD (Post Tour So Depressed)! (~);}
Bobs voice is on point here!
Gotta love John Mayer, he's got the didley didley parts down correctly
glad I'm not the only one starting to look old
Jesus H Chirst... John is on fire on this one!
Keep on rolling Bobby
