Review: Dead & Company open Sphere Las Vegas residency with epic show

Yes, even the famed LSD guru — who was also the sound engineer for the Grateful Dead and the architect for the band’s fabled “Wall of Sound” — could never have dreamed up the full-force psychedelic-rock experience that was awaiting fans on opening night of Dead & Company’s “Dead Forever” run at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Thursday.

Oh, yeah, and the music was pretty swell as well, as this phenomenally popular Grateful Dead offshoot — consisting of Dead alum Bob Weir on vocals and guitar and Mickey Hart on drums as well as vocalist-guitarist John Mayer, bassist Oteil Burbridge, keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and drummer Jay Lane — rolled through 19 songs during two very generous sets.

It was also the first of 24 nights that the band is scheduled to perform at the Sphere, which has quickly become arguably Las Vegas’ defining landmark as the dome pulses with amazing video imagery that can be seen from miles away. Fittingly, it was showing the Dead’s signature “steal your face” skull logo, as well as other graphics, as fans walked up to the building on Thursday.
