Under the cover of a dark gray July sky, more than 30,000 fans of Dead and Company gathered Monday at Folsom Field to say goodbye to the last remaining vestiges of the legendary rock band.

, a continuation of the iconic Grateful Dead, has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, folk and psychedelic improvisations since their formation in 2015. Comprising original Grateful Dead members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart, along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jay Lane, and Jeff Chimenti, the band has carried forward the spirit and musical ethos of the Dead, enchanting old and new fans alike.

Minette, traveling from North Carolina, bought tickets to see Dead and Company all three evenings in Boulder. “Of course I went all of the nights. Who knows when we are going to see them again? This is a special kind of magic,” Minen mused. A feeling of hazy, lazy, indulgent happiness seemed to hang in the air, as people all around danced, hugged, laughed and hollered with increasing abandon. On more than one occasion, fans pulled out pieces of paraphernalia that probably cost more than one month’s rent in Colorado and passed them around.

Amico, who also attended all three of the Boulder dates, told the Camera that the weekend converted her into a full-fledged Grateful Dead fan. “They’ve done this many times. They said the Fare Thee Well tour would be the last one. And we all know how that turned out,” said Bill Grossman, 67, of Longmont.

The Dead have had a lengthy, symbiotic relationship with Boulder, having played at Folsom Field first in 1972 and again in 1980. Since first forming in 2015, Dead and Company have stopped in Boulder every year, with the exception of 2020 and 2021.
