Performance Notes
It started as “The Pump Song” on Mickey Hart’s first solo album (1972’s “Rolling Thunder”), because its rhythm track was based (in an ingenious bit of what might be called proto-sampling) on the sound of a water pump on Mickey’s ranch. But once Bob Weir added some changes to the groove Mickey had found and lyricist Robert Hunter contributed a cinematic storyline that was part cowboy movie/part sci-fi/part biblical epic, it became something else again, and a highlight of many a show by the Grateful Dead and its musical successors. This version features a nice, lengthy jam leading up to the song and some fiery soloing by John Mayer and Jeff Chimenti. - Gary Lambert

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 inaugural tour kicked off in the fall of 2015 with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City and ended with two sold-out performances at the ‘Fabulous’ Forum in Inglewood, California.
Since then, the band has completed five tours, playing to more than 1.5 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Dead & Company has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record in 2017. Dead & Company’s 2018 Summer Tour ranked in the top 25 of the Top 100 Worldwide Tours and for the past two years, their Summer Tours ranked in the top 15 of the Top Global Concert Tours. - Hudba
It's amazing how the drummers Bill and Mickeyt along with phil and Bob lay down such a phenomenal rhythm section for the vocalist or lead soloist be it John or Jerry RIP. It really captures the Dead sound. Keep it up Boys.
From a drummer it’s horrible! The dude with the big toy looking red tree trunks is totally off with the drummer at times! They hold it together but one is out of the pocket and the other in!
Great performance of a great song.
This where John definately belongs he is having the best time in his life ever ! Good old Bobby sure knew who to play with !
I was familiar with Johns music. When I heard that the guys were gonna play with Mayer, I knew they were going to kill it. I've been a GD fan since 82 at 12 years old. My first show was in 86. I can't understand some of the hate I see about John. He is a phenomenal musician. People say well he just isnt Jerry. No, but he is a highly competent musician who loves and understands music. I know Jerry is up there smiling from ear to ear. We need to be Grateful that the music is still being played.
@@dannyteague5741Never understood the hate for Mayer. I thought it was a strange choice at first but he embraced the music and his place in it and stepped up. He got it. If you loved the music I didnt understand why you wouldnt love this band. I caught many fine shows by DeadCo and imho was the best post Jerry incarnation. It was a phenomenal 8 yr run. I'm sad it's over but grateful we had it.
My first show! Such a special night.
Great version of this song
I saw the Dead in the mid seventies a few times and have been a head a long time. This band sounds really great carrying on. My two favorite bands The Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane.
My two favs too. I saw the Dead in California 1972 and the Airplane (Starship) in about 1974 in Denver.
I started out in the 70 s hitchhiking if need b ? I had to c the Gratefuldead I was so hooked ! ❤️🌹🙏🏻👽🪐🐰👻🧜🧜♂️🧜♀️🧚🏼🧚🏿♂️🧚♀️😱🥲
The music still lives… Jerry would want it to continue and live…
Seeing how JM took his chance, hearing talk about his experience with the dead has totally changed my view of him as a player and a man!! Always been in love with this band but even more so. Jerry is looking down with a huge smile on his face. This band is a phenomenon of nature, growing all the time. In 50years there will still be music being made from the garden of Eden that is the Grateful Dead and I for one am grateful to have been alive to see them, and got to see Jerry play in the UK the last time he toured here.👍🎵🎶🇬🇧🇺🇸
Great version
Best GSET I’ve seen D&C and possibly any other band including GD!
I can fully understand why John enjoys hanging out with this band. It gives him a chance to use his improv skills to the max....every guitarist’s dream.
That is why I enjoy it too
As a guitar player, and a real true love of playing the guitar, there's no better band to get in with in terms of exploring your instrument endlessly. Or at least, until it ends. He had 8yrs to fully explore the guitar in a way he didn't ever have with his own groups and stuff he played outside of grateful dead music.
These guys look so young 😢
@@chasecarter1170I'm sad it's done but it was a great run! NFA 💀💜
That’s not it at all. You view John as the main attraction? It’s the other way around… He’s honored to play with them…
Phenomenal!!
Straight fire 🔥
Smokin!!! Hope they bust this one out alot this summer.
thanks for stepping up Johnboy...i've decided we're in good hands
darn tootin brother
This was awesome!!! Great energy.
Bobby outdoes him self in everything he does , I just love him for keeping it going !❤❤🌹🌹☮️👽🪐👻☠️🐰🐇🥲🥰
I LOVE THIS SONG WITH THE PIANO SOUND SLOW AND SLICK
Got one in Raleigh last year and when it got going we all started to dance felt like we were all dragging in some mud haha was still a good jam!
We will miss you Billy, drum on😊🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
Boys are getting it done!
Smokin’!👏🎉
was lucky enough for this to be my first dead and co show and they tore it up!
I’ve not seen them yet but want to so bad !
They r all so good together , I love that missing Jerry as I do John can make me forget for awhile about him ❤️❤️❤️☮️✌️🕊🐰🐇🌹🥰😘
Hey slic don't ever forget what he did
Never can I forget ?
Smoking hot version !! Thank you for this upload 💀👊
I can’t believe this was 5 years ago
It went by so fast didn't it? We lost a couple years to the fkn plandemic.
Great playing and music. Subscribed.
Wow. 5 years ago now. The band sounds really good here. Love Mayers work on this one, Bob's voice is strong & you can really hear Otiel for a change. Well done.
John and Jeff are the best part of the band. I wanna hear more of them play with each other.
They all compliment each other u y’all !
It's a band. They are all locked in with each other. Couldn't be the Dead without Bob, Bill & Mickey.
Give it to har u guys ! Y’all r so good I’m so happy rite now because I just lost someone that just passed so I didn’t listen to any music for 2 days ! Been crying to much but I’m not now thank u for all of this ! ❤️🐇🌹🌹🐰☄️❤️🔥💥☮️😱🤩😵💫😍🤪🥰😘
John has always been that good !
Wanting to be heard!
Omg😊
All that and more
Johnny Mayer bobble heads for all!!
This one smokes ⚡
Great version of a great song.
God Bess Bobby Weir. Thank you, thank you thank you, the music means so much to me.
The best version ever is at ken Keyes creamery 1972 Jerry is off the rails killer solo
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I think Jeff is best keyboardist since Brent.
Keith on that baby grand wasn't bad either...
Agree. Jeff's B3 playing ain't nearly on the level that Brent was but his piano playing is steller. He was really the glue that kept it together for DeadCo. I also love Rob Barraco from Darkstar who's played with the boys a lot over the years. I was actually hoping he would step into the keys seat for DeadCo. But Jeff was great. Both great musicians.
Agreed!
the double edged sword of time and tempo - quicker than this and mayer/chimenti would have to be blazing fast to stick with double time solos, but at this speed it the solos sound great but the verses sound like theyre walking through molasses
They r very good for replacing the other guys in the Gratefuldead which I miss very much !
🌈😎🌈
Ease up Odessa..
I wonder how much acid The Dead required John Mayer to take before he could play with them.. 🤔
Rumor has it both John & Otiel dropped at The Gorge. I was there. The shows were phenomenal!
I’m sorry but you can’t replace Jerry… compare this to when they were rocking this in 72’. I appreciate John’s abilities but it just isn’t the same.
Yeah they should've left this one on the shelf.
No not ever they need to play as much as they can !
Of course it isn't. Jerry's gone, Pig is gone, Brent is gone. Let go the past. This incarnation of the band was awesome. An epic 8 yr run. I'm sad it's over but grateful it happened.
@@thekidbehindthecomputer8761 No one's forcing you to listen eh. I absolutely loved this band. They tore it up.
Isnt this a bob weir original that the dead adopted? I feel like bobby has the right to sing it
They shouldn't play this song. They botched it all up and Mayer isn't coming close to those blistering solos jerry belt out for this tune. No offense meant but it is what it is I guess
A great song and this was a hot version. Very well played. They can play whatever they want, it's their song.
Worst incarnation of the dead ever
Best incarnation of the band post Jerry. An epic 8 yr run. I'm grateful it happened.
Oy... Mayer has incredible skills but the idea of 'look at me' seems to creep into every. moment. of. his. playing. Garcia transmitted that western pathos/americana/blues in an incredibly creative unique way. Mayer is just accurate/generic with way too much embellishment. I want to like his input.... but I keep hearing him show off.
I guess we know who the single dislike vote was. Lol
I hear you. I’ve really enjoyed Mayer. I really try not to connect the Grateful Dead with Dead and Co. I mean as a band. The reason Dead and Company works is because the band lets Mayer be Mayer. Just like they let Jerry be Jerry. But you certainly make great points.
The ultimate irony of my disappointment of John Mayer: I work at the high school he attended (in Fairfield, CT) I know a handful of people who know him. I want to like him. I really do. Again, anyone can see he is ridiculously talented. But he hijacks every song to scream 'LOOK AT ME' !!!! Instead of playing with restraint, letting a certain sloppiness communicate some forlorn western creature of the desert.... And don't even get me started on Phish.
Hey, great comment, some other dude. Wait, that was my comment. Anyway, in 2013 I went to the 'Gathering Of The Vibes' fest in Bridgeport, CT.
'Phil Lesh And Friends' played - oh my gawd it was so gawddamn good. Still had impromptu jams that were just exquisite. I stood there in awe, it was SO GOOD. 2013 was the last year actual GD people played the 'Vibes'.
@ LPS Abi:
Yeah, that's what I need to do, stop expecting to hear Jerry. Mayer has his own great style, and I like this particular video clip. But could he just limit the moments where the focus is on him? I think even Jimi Hendrix played along with the band, then stepped forward for a crescendo, then toned it down to let the band show through, repeat for each song.
