Watch Dead & Company’s Full Summer Tour Opener from Mansfield
May 31, 2018
Dead & Company delivered a summer tour-opening performance at Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA, on Wednesday night, and the full show was streamed for free via nugs.tv (which is also offering webcasts of each stop on the tour). The band had some understandable first-set jitters to open the run but fully got into their groove with a strong second frame.
For the second set, fans were elated to hear an opening “Scarlet”> “Fire” jam; the latter featured bassist Oteil Burbridge singing lead vocals. After an equally pleasing “Althea” (and a heavy tease of “The Other One”) keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and Burbridge took turns laying down impressive solos on “Eyes of the World.”
As the clock inched closer to 11 p.m., the band explored a cosmic “Drums”> “Space” segment, followed by a “Stella Blue” and an uplifting “Touch of Grey.” Presumably due to the venue’s curfew, the band took a bow at the top of the hour, and left the stage with no encore.
