It’s time to unleash your inner hippie.
As of now, Dead and Company have only six (!) visually and sonically adventurous concerts left at the Las Vegas Sphere from Aug. 1-10 this year.
And, if you haven’t seen them live yet — and consider yourself a Deadhead — you’re missing out.
“The experience is almost too good,” AU Review gushed. “Dead & Company have put on a mind-bending musical odyssey, the likes of which I’m unlikely to see again. Because of this, it’s hard to get over the excitement and just absorb the experience (assuming you’re only seeing the show once).”
Founding member Bob Weir is just as emphatic.
“Working from the stage at the Sphere is like opera,” the Rock Hall of Famer told Variety. “The storytelling facility there is really beyond anything else…from what I can gather, it’s pretty satisfying to the audience.”
Still not sold?
We’ll just leave this stunning Instagram clip from a recent show here to speak for itself.
What may be most exciting of all though is that last-minute tickets are still available for all remaining concerts.
At the time of publication, ticket prices start at $182 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Other shows have seats starting anywhere from $196 to $230 before fees.

Dead and Company concert review
Last summer, NY Post’s resident Deadhead Ryan Murphy saw Dead and Co. at Citi Field.
“They kept it all about the music and their farewell over the course of their four-hour set,” Murphy noted.

Huge jam bands on tour in 2024
Dead and Company essentially created the template for freewheeling, improvisatory rock back in the ’60s.
Over the years, many acts have followed their lead and created their own version of the “no two set lists are the same” spectacle.
Here are just five of our favorites you won’t want to miss live this year.
