I'm really impressed with John Mayer's obvious dedication to studying Jerry's guitar style. Instead of just trying to graft himself into this situation, he approached it as an opportunity to expand and grow. Way to go, Mr. Mayer.
I've listened to a few of these Dead & Co videos, and while JM sounds great in all of them, this one is the most Jerry-esque one I've heard yet.
I couldn't agree more. I've seen them twice lately and the Dead many times and John Mayer works his ass off to play Jerry's style and does a pronominal job. He's grown and gained a lot of respect that he so much deserves.
Or to be able to graft himself over Bob's style
Bob wier's sound is what made the Grateful Dead iconic he doesn't get enough credit
@@taylorlangley900 I don't think there's a rhythm guitarist in the world that gets enough credit, in all actuality.
Its awesome they are letting them play a 7 min tune on national television thats not very common.
they brought enough equipment.
all or nothing.
they did it right.
After seeing them a few times. Respect for John Mayer
@@tylerchappuis2384 Of their material this suits his voice well!
Indeed. A fine tune to boot. I liked Mayer.
One of their shorter songs
Classic Dead to let a name guy like Mayer into the band, put the spotlight on him and just be happy jamming the old tunes again. No egos.
Yeah for real - keeping the music alive for life
OMG. Yuck. Why is everyone so enamored with John Mayer? He sounds so average when playing GD tunes. I could find a dozen local guys that can play these songs 10X better. But, oh yeah, I forget, they aren't the heart throb that John Mayer is supposed to be.
@@TangoNevada Who would you put in there instead? Names. I don't like the way his vocals color the tunes so much, but there's no denying he is an amazing player and his lines fit well.
@@haikat4 Names wouldn't matter and that's the point. You are thinking and so are they, that it needs to be someone with a "Name". Like I have mentioned, I have seen many local cover bands with a lead guitar player that sound better overall. Hell, I don't even know their name. In fact you're just proving my point, that he is there primarily because of his name only and that people know it. What difference does it make if you knew the guy before hand?
@@TangoNevada I do not believe for a minute he is there for his name he has fantastic skill both playing and singing he had been friends with the Dead for years. Please stop being negative.
People are always gonna make fun of John Mayer---Those people are showing their ignorance
He has become one of America"s premier musicians----Carry the torch young man!
Well have you considered that if people are always gonna make fun of JM that there might actually be a reason? For people like me, I was making fun of this guy before he even got involved with the GD. Him being involved in the GD is just an insult to what the GD is supposed to represent. I guess, if their only interest is to sell tickets now and that's it. Then yeah, bring on the poster boy that all girls idol and that will help. But it sounds like an uneducated Dead fan's version of what they think Dead fans want to hear. Sure, it's easy to say no one can replace Jerry, of course. But God Damn they could have done better. I know local players that are much better at pulling off Dead Covers than this dude.
@@TangoNevada it's not the grateful dead, it's dead and company, if you've got a problem may i suggest you don't waste your time watching videos of them playing and let the rest of us enjoy it in peace✌🏻
Tango Nevada you made fun of him why exactly? Because he dated a lot of Hollywood girls? Because it just can’t be because of his skills in the guitar, Eric Clapton himself said he is a master of the instrument, the dude has played with and been acknowledged by the greatest guitarists as being one of the best nowadays and the Dead wouldn’t have invited him to play with them if he wasn’t good enough, get over yourself, mate
@@johnnyzalami Believe it or not, I am aware it's not the Grateful Dead. And I don't waste my time watching videos of him, You Tube just suggested one and then I realized what I was seeing. Go ahead and enjoy it in peace. If my opinions bother you, may I suggest you just don't waste your time reading them and wasting your time to reply to them? Peace. Or BTW, I mean that in the best way possible. Or no offense...but...
@@leonardoleal5092 Because I think he is overrated and a I guarantee if he didn't look like he does, he would not have climbed the ladder as he did. Sure, he can play. But like I said, I know and have seen many local players, even from his home state that are even better than him, but they are not chick magnet he is. If you followed his early career it had nothing to do with his playing, it was all about his looks. And yes, he can play blues and the Grateful Dead well. And as much as I love those 2 things, you could not be a guitar player if you didn't understand they are not that difficult out of all the guitar playing styles. I'll try to say it again. What he is playing is not bad, but I have seen many players that do it better they just don't happen to also have the female magnetism that he has for some reason. If that wasn't a factor, there would be 1000's of players better suited to this job. If you don't think looks play a role in success in this video age, you're just being naive
The most amazing thing about John Mayer: he sings like himself, but when he's just playing, you don't notice that it's John Mayer. That's how well he fits in.
very well said. I like it when he doesn't sing, haha... no offense to him
David Saliba well he did spend months studying Jerrys playing and over 10k in gear to sound like him
Max Rooks none of that gives you the ability to cover these songs like John does.
Bet hes better then the rest tho
David Saliba Well said
As a 21 year old who found a deep appreciation for the Dead long after all of the original lineup's original touring, I felt sad that I'd missed it all. So blessed that one of my favorite modern musicians has joined up with them and is keeping it going! So fucking cool!
Luke Wiese 17 y/o here and in the same boat!
22 YO from England here and I'm the same! Travelling to the states in June to catch a show 🤠
16 y/o saaaame
14 y/o saaaaame, super stoked to see them this summer though
Hell yeah brother! Which show'd ya catch? I saw them in Atlanta on the 13th, fantastic show
Best part about this version of the song: how clear you can Bobby's weird rhythm playing. Bob is such an underrated guitarist, and this clip just proves it.
Agreed
Yeah I try so hard to hear his playing in live performance clips
Yup
Bob makes this song with his guitar playing
Bob is THE chord Jedi master.
“They’re only doing 18 shows” - fast forward 4 years later now, many tours and 3rd annual playing in the sand coming up soon! Love it!
6 years later now and a summer tour has been announced and the bus is still rolling along. Grateful!
@@drewharrison1840 hell yea! Finally got my first ever “playing in the sand” tickets. And ill be at Blossom and Darien Lake. See ya’ll there, dont miss the bus!
Just saw them last night !
This text aged well lol😅
John Mayer living his dream with the very best.
Could you imagine what it must feel like to be invited to be in this group? From a guitarists standpoint I would hang up the phone after saying yes and thank you way to much then go run in the street screaming until my voice was gone. I imagine John had a similar reaction.
yeah must be crazy .......perfect fit !!!
Mayer’s dream is actually to give Stevie Ray Vaughn a handjob. But being in the Dead is 2nd
He wasn't a huge Dead fan before he joined, actually.
Bob weir is a freaking genius. Just listen to his fills during Jeff's piano solo. In terms of Mayer, I can't believe there are people out there who don't like him? Listen to his solo starting at 4:17. So tasteful, with the type of phrasing that not many players have. In my humble opinion, he is one of the best guitarists around. When it comes to phrasing, he is in Clapton's league.
Some people just can't let Jerry go, man. To some, the fact that the remaining members kept going is an affront to Jerry's memory. That's fine, but it doesn't mean that the rest of us can't enjoy it.
Weir is fantastic, it’s just too bad he uses such a thin, tinny tone most of the time. Sounds great here, though.
@@joojoosasa Which oddly enough, is likely the opposite of what Jerry would've thought about it
@@mike_jf13 Exactly.
Dood. Legend
I remember when John Mayer first showed up singing about your body being a wonderland. Who woulda thunk he would teamed up with some remaining dead members and unite generations of people?! Big shoutout to Bob weir he looks great and sounded even better.
Remaining dead members... The rest are dead.
@@my_family_journal he means members of dead company. They're called dead to shorten the name
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 I know, xD, but just saying the rest of the members of "dead company" are dead😬😬😬
@@my_family_journal no, phil lesh is still very much alive😊
Bob sounded so gay next to Mayer (ghuitar g0d)
2:16 - 2:21 When Bill and Mickey realize they synced perfectly for the ending of that measure... they couldn't help but smile for a bit. Damn they sounded so tight here..remember watching it live being blown away.
Luke Maggioli great spot!!
As a guitarist, i'm always listening for instrumental highlights, especially in Billy. What a unique drummer.
I remember the first time I saw them 9-4-79 at MSG I was in awe of Micky and Billy. I couldn't keep my eyes off 'em. It;s been that way ever since. So fun to watch.
Since I saw that you pointed this out a few days ago, I've watched this drum segment like 20 times. Thanks for pointing it out. Classic rolling thunder stuff goin' on.
Luke Maggioli i thought i was the only one who noticed how tight that was!!!
My favorite thing about this video is Bob being on the tonight show in jeans, a t shirt, and Birkenstocks. And the solos...
alexcorll didn’t notice the sandals until reading this comment. Hilarious and awesome
Bobby's shirt is an inside joke with Mayer. Is this going somewhere is a reference to John getting lost in the music and Bobby bringing him back. Bob. Weir. So. Damn. Cool.
@@kylejoe6685 Jesus christ it's just a pair of fkn birkenstocks, people. I swear to god the rest of the country outside of san francisco is so limited
What's the shirt say and what's the joke?
Quite a difference from the usual shorts 😂 Gotta love the dead. Original and "new".
God that solo rips
Nikolas Sepulveda Sounds like a sketchy thing to google
It does. What's amazing is he got even better as the tour went on.
PghJake Totally agree. Saw them twice, once in November 2015 and again in July 2016. They seemed to all grow together.
+Nikolas Sepulveda damn, great comparison! the tempo, mix, and solos are all so similar to this version.
I remember hearing one of John's solos in Brown-Eyed Woman during this summer's tour that sounded so much like the To Terrapin album version.. which rips if you haven't heard it. If I end up finding it I'll reply with the show.
I've heard better fart rips
Can I say that I really love this? John Mayer and Oteil Burbridge brought new vital life into this wonderful music and I hope for new adventures to come.
Mayer sounds so good in this band. Jerry would have loved his guitar playing. God bless them.
Bob Weir's licks after John's guitar intro kill me everytime! :)
Mind blown!!
Best rhythm guitarist of the entire era. Knows more chord shapes than anyone I've ever seen. Jerry was his teacher and mentor. Bobby took from there and this is the result. Look at him way up on the neck 14th-16th fret. Amazing!
Quintessential Bob Weir. Heard some of the coolest rhythm licks/ideas from him.
Mayer did so good on this!
whats wrong with ur eyes
I thought he did really well, but I mostly just used my ears instead of my eyes...
talent
Good one!! LMAO!! And you are correct! Mayer has gelled QUITE well, IMO!
This performance is what got me into Grateful Dead
Lollllllllllll
andrew dyke You've got a problem?
LimaUniformLimaZulu awesome.
Gave me chills when Bob started grooving and hacking away during the second solo! Appreciate the energy.
Like is a crummy deal for me right now, but John keeps me smiling. Thanks for the inspiration, man. Growth is possible.
Patrick Carroll has it gotten any better?
I am really surprised that John Mayer sounds so good with them. What a great band. R.I.P. Jerry
It takes a great deal of skill and determination for a musician who is known for their own sound, to be able to get up and sound completely different and I wonder whether even the most recognised greats could pull this off. Mayer gets a lot of stick but the geezer knows and those that know... know too
jon carley yea it’s funny to see John actively avoid his usual pentatonic and B.B. scales. He apparently studied around 5 years before going on the road with them.
Sounds like Jerry... all that chromaticism! Wow!
Hadn't heard any of this. A great find for me. John Mayer is just an elegant bluesman. I'm very fond of him.
Mayer is good, but nothing beats the original Dead
@@rileym6125 We can't have the original Dead play live for us, so ... this is pretty good.
bobn1955 exactly what I’ve been arguing with my kid’s dad about.
john sounds so good on this song
This is a perfect song for JM,
Sent us to America to watch! All the way from Scotland!
FOREVER DEAD! LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!
R.I.PEACE Robert Hunter. Eternal LOVE. Fare Thee WELL friend.
I used to hate Mayer, but he has redeemed himself. Very good.
Have you told John Mayer? He'd probably be relieved.
He Grew Up !!!
u are not cool
Watch a lot of his live stuff instead of focusing on his solo studio work because there is a stark difference. He brings the house down every time he walks on stage. I think currently he is one of the best guitarists of our time.
thank you - mayer
Nice to see (what appears to be) Fallon's genuine and sincere appreciation for what he just witnessed.
Props to the sound folks- best mix ever of any Dead show. Listen to Weir's guitar licks.
So great to see Weir still playing. Love his guitar style!
At the University of Music, this man is a top Professor. So glad he helps the Grateful Dead live on.
Young people, behold: a true and timeless musical treasure
Love seeing the energy Bobby shows from 4:40 - 5:00 they're so in sync and it looks like they're just up there enjoying it
I know it's sacrilegious but this it the best Brown Eyed Women I've ever heard.
You're absolutely right.
So you obviously don't care about having the lyrics sung as if the singer knew what he was saying....
Ah man, my dude... Listen to more then
This may be a better Dead & Co song than it was a Dead song.
cornell is definetely best
It soothes my soul on these times of great cruelty in America...
Great cruelty?
John's voice sounds great on this!
The guy on the right's my boy...... Have followed his career from day 1 have the first album on monophonic.....Thanks Cuz-in Bobby!!!
I've seen them 4 times so far and they kill it every time. Bobby gets his crazy eyes going and you know it's gonna be a good show. This is one of my favorite songs to hear them play live
I really enjoy the visual mix of young bucks and old duffers smiling and playing together. It says something about the whole group.... respect for others, regardless of differences.
Never saw this clip before. Very well played & 2 things I noticed....for all those who complain about D&C's tempo, the tempo here is spot on. And they are clearly having a good time. Thats what its all about.
Not true...Tempo is sped up.....They were supposed to stop before the last verse.....They sped up the tempo so they could get the last verse in...Notice ,towards the end, when Bob looks at Bill and Mickey at the 5:47 mark to finish the song and Mayer keeps going through to the last verse.....Thats why the tempo is sped up...
WEIR EVERYWEIR! I LOVE THAT WEIRWOLF!! JM IS BADASS!!....Mrs Weir
I prefer Lesh
The piano and the guitar solo they get me everytime, wish this was somwhere in HQ available
The man earned his way in, that's for sure!!!!✌💀🎙🎶🎸🎼🎵🎶🎵
That Chimanti solo though.... and John's solo right after. John's vocal abilities are insane. Fucking a. Bobby looked so into it too. That's what it's about. Faces and egos aside here, it's about soul and creative expression and they were flawless.
Jeff is astounding!
Weir is on fire with the rhythm guitar here. I had not seen him this tight in a long time. A long time. It's great to see and hear.
I've listened to all of dead and co version of Brown eyed women, this is the best. John Mayer is rockin on guitar.
HJK 11/21/1985
I love Bob Weir playing style.
Me too. I have always been in awe of what unique approaches he comes up with. Jerry said he could never predict how Weir was going to play a song.
They sound FANTASTIC here. Super tight groove. Excellent soloing from John.
Was having a pretty crappy day until I listened to this about 14 times haha thank you
Thank you for reposting this.
Can’t get enough of this. Jerry is surely smiling down on these boys.
Never was a big fan of the GD, but I've listened to this many times and it just gets better and better.
Every song of theirs does.
Great song.
fallon appreciated it big time. they absolutely crushed it.
Delilah Jones went to meet her god, and the old man never was the same again
Devastating lyric.
Dead & Co. ... please play a show in Toronto!! My dad raised me on the Dead, this concert would be unbelievably meaningful. So much history and sentiment behind the Dead. This reincarnation of the Dead is beautiful. xx
They can't be crossing boarders!!!! only to Mexico
What a beautiful solo from the keys!!!
NolalanD Jeff Chimenti is right up there with Keith Godchaux as far as Grateful Dead/Dead-related keyboard players go.
Kreutzmann and Hart sound better than ever!!!
Thunderous
Just saw dead and company in Vegas on Thursday 6 6 24 in Vegas at the spare in Vegas what a great show the place was packed sold out amazing
Lets all just appreciate what jon just did..first year that he played with these guys and that solo was crazy AND ITS SOOO DIFFERENT FROM HOW HE USUALLY SOUNDS, he mastered a new genre so quick AND best since Jerry😊
Made me emotional. I miss seeing Jerry!
Music doesn't often put me in tears but this did. I commented above that he is probably smiling like a pig in shit watching this from above. John Mayer was also a phenomenal pickup.
Never gave Mayer too much thought until he started playing Dead tunes. He knows this music. I mean, he KNOWS it. Respect.
A thing of beauty. Everyone sounds great.
It's still hard to hear Mayer singing Jerry songs, but he's done extremely well. Bob wouldn't have endured the John Mayer of 10yrs ago. Proud to see him living up to this.
John Mayer literally has always been this good.
So glad to see John Mayer take this route. The kid pulled it off. BRAVO!
Saw my first show at the Glens Falls Civic center in 1978. I was 16. Was hooked immediately, there was nothing like Grateful Dead Show! So glad that they keep it going this is great.
"there was nothing like Grateful Dead Show!" So true!
Gone are the days when the ox fall down,
Take up the yoke and plow the fields around.
Gone are the days when the ladies said' "Please,
Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me."
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,
And it looks like the old man's getting on.
1929 when he stepped to the bar, drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.
1930 when the wall caved in, he made his way selling red-eyed gin.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,
And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Delilah Jones was the mother of twins,
Two times over and the rest were sins.
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad,
Didn't get the lickin's that the other ones had.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down,
And it looks like the old man's getting on.
Tumble down shack in Big Foot county.
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in.
Delilah Jones went to meet her God,
And the old man never was the same again.
Daddy made whiskey and he made it well.
Cost two dollars and it burned like hell.
I cut hickory just to fire the still,
Drink down a bottle and be ready to kill.
Brown-eyed women and red grenadine,
The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean.

And it looks like the old man's getting on.

slightly better than 'Your body is a Wonderland'
nmnmnmm ha
Underrated comment man haha
Just a bit
And I think John would agree haha
He takes it in his stride but we all know he regrets writing that song
Gag now that was a silly song
JoyGASM...I'M CRYING. Get it while you can ladies and gents...THIS is as GOOD as it gets...and it AIN'T gonna last forever!!! Love You Bob ❤️😆
Saw them last summer at Shoreline. Can't wait till June to see them again!
Shoreline is a great place for concerts. I would think they would play there often given its in the bay
I live in the Philippines. I closed my eyes and was transported. If I could just meet one Filipino deadhead, I'd be happy
John was a great choice to bring along with them I think he does the songs justice
Jeff chimenti's solos are so tight, can't wait to see them all this fall
That ROCKED!! It's almost like...like...like a DEAD SHOW!! Great job!
That deserved a much louder applause lol
Kyle Mac it's a late night show. Most of the people there arent into this kind of musix
For those that really want to learn Bobby's style and hear him cut through the mix, this is a great one. Bobby shines here, just listen for it.
10000%
One of the better examples in his older age for sure
Those subtle movements in Jerry's fretting are so so hard to get right!!
Man, you can hear Weir pretty clearly here... so often he's lost in the mix.
My eternal complaint.
I was thinking the same thing. His rhythm guitar is god level.
Pretty rhythm heavy song I think. For good reason
been watching this video everyday pretty much sense it was new. bob weir is so underrated. his small fills keep the mojo pumpin. #youngdeadhead
This is amazing. As an old school dead fan and a new school John Mayer fan. It feels like the old and the new coming together. hey Anderton's. Time for a Sounds like Jerry Garcia.
One and only time I will say this. I'm not sure how Rabea would do honestly.
Pete could do it though.
My favorite Dead song. John's pretty good too.
How can you not love him..keep the music going..next generation. There will never be a Jerry,but music can't stop..
Bobby sounds soooo good here! Those counter licks!
This clip got me into the Grateful Dead and I was lucky to see Dead & Company at Gillette Stadium on 6/22/19. This is still my favorite rendition of Brown Eyed Women
That was my first concert as well. Been a Deadhead for many years prior, though.
That was my first concert as well. Been a Deadhead for many years prior, though.
Almost blasphemy having this band on a small talk show stage.. but undoubtedly the most amazing music to ever grace this stage. In 2016 I still was iffy about d and c after years of furthur but this summer tour was the one to get me fully back in.
They really capture the spirit of The Grateful Dead. Very cool.
Wow this is REALLY good. Love seeing Billy up there. God bless these boys for what they did.❤💛💚
They actually sound a lot cleaner than they did in the early 90s!! I think they were just getting burned out!! Mayer has done a hell of a good job!!
BIG THANKS for reposting .......... the Man RIPS!
This music never stops ⚡💗
I can't get enough of this performance of Brown Eyed Women as I keep playing it over. Well done.
Chills man, freakin chills watching these guys. R-Devils back there tight as a swiss watch.
Who'd a thunk I'd ever be saying John Mayer is a BADDASS. DeadCo is AMAZING.
Recently saw them in Albuquerque. Bottle really is dusty -- liquor really is clean!!! Long live the Dead.
Wonderful! nice job keeping the music and memories alive and well.
This keeps showing up on my recommended...and i coudnt be happier!
4:09- the definition of chill
2:58 hahaha the bassist
Every time I watch this it gets better and better....
