After news that John Mayer and Bill Kreutzmann have dropped out of this weekend’s Playing in the Sand festival, watch Dead & Company play “Brown-Eyed Women” at the 2018 edition

on the way down and had to drop out too. Kreutzmann was unable to play with Dead & Company at several shows in the fall, and RatDog/Primus drummer Jay Lane took his place., the band said that Lane will be back for Playing in the Sand along with Tom Hamilton Jr., and “special guests and sit ins” that will include Margo Price and others. Tom Hamilton Jr. is a guitarist-singer who has played in Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, and’s Billy and the Kids.

The first Playing in the Sand weekend took place in 2018 following similar Phish events in 2016 and 2017. It was a bit of an experiment to see if Deadheads would enjoy seeing the band in a very different environment than your typical arena or stadium — and to see if they’d shell out big bucks for it. Here’s fan-shot video of “Brown-Eyed Women” from the first set on the first night.

Mayer’s Covid infection ruled him out for the first Playing in the Sand this weekend, but there’s another one next weekend. It’s very possible he’ll have recovered by then. If not, the Deadheads will still find ways to enjoy a luxury weekend in Cancun and their Mayer-free concerts. It’s hard to feel sorry for any of them.
