Album of the Day

Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead's Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers' bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade; the group has played to more than 1.5 million fans and become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company recently launched a digital concert series to release complete shows on download and streaming services, and the new BEST OF: LIVE SHOWS features highlights from 7 concerts drawn from the band's 2017 fall tour and a trio of 2018 shows in Mexico. The playlist includes outstanding versions of such favorites as “Deal,” “Estimated Prophet” and “China Doll,” and today we'll cue it up to wish Bill Kreutzmann a happy birthday.
