Dead and Company Final Tour Kick-Off Brings the Faithful to the Forum

, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane — was in top form musically, playing for nearly four hours and spanning the Grateful Dead catalog from early studio cuts to Jerry Garcia solo songs to fan favorites .

The show’s arena-sized production complemented the grandness of the moment, the video screens cycling through psychedelic colors and imagery to match the lighting, which felt more Phish-like than previous outings. The L.A. crowd soaked — and smoked — it up in a warm collective embrace. If night one set the pace with standbys like “Estimated Prophet,” “Sugar Magnolia” and the show’s opener, “Shakedown Street,” night two rewarded the faithful with the multi-layered “Terrapin Station” and “Franklin’s Tower” as well as the somber and reflective harmonies of “Brokedown Palace.” Vocally, all of the members sounded great, but Mayer added an understated elegance, especially on songs where he takes the lead, like “Althea” and “Sugaree.

How are fans feeling about this “Final Tour,” as the trek is billed? By the looks of it, grateful — to have one last go-round in a familiar space with several thousand like-minded heads. On hand to document the run is longtime Grateful Dead photographer Jay Blakesberg, who captured the energy onstage in the images below.Oteil Burbridge and Mickey Hart
