Dead & Company continued their summer tour on Monday night at SoCal's Hollywood Bowl, debuting their version of the Workingman's Dead classic "High Time," with bassist Oteil Burbridge sharing vocal duties with Bob Weir.
Minus their trusty "Drums"> "Space" interlude, this third D&C show of summer tour had zero repeats from the two prior gigs at Shoreline Amphitheatre. It kicked off with "Cold Rain and Snow" and moved through "Hell In A Bucket," "Easy Wind" and "Mississippi Half Step," before Dead & Company offered the aforementioned "High Time" debut.
The first half closed with stand-alone versions of "Jack Straw," "Bird Song" and "Don't Ease Me In."
Dead & Company returned to the stage a little after 9 p.m., and got the party going once more with "Iko Iko." Next came "New Speedway Boogie" and "Sugaree," before the band served up one of their favorite three-part movements: "Help On The Way"> "Slipknot!"> "Franklin's Tower."
The Rhythm Devils had some fun with a "Drums"> "Space" segment, which eventually bled into an emotive "Stella Blue" by Bob Weir. However, the sentimentality didn't last long, as the entire band joined together for a set-closing "Not Fade Away."
Dead & Company encored their third show of summer tour with a pairing of "Lady With A Fan"> "Terrapin Station."
