Dead and Company is on stage right now for their final show of the summer and the headlining spot to close out the LOCKN’ Festival.
The Grateful Dead three of Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will reconnect with an old sit-in partner with Branford Marsalis. It’ll be awesome to see how the newer three of John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge and Jeff Chimenti play off Marsalis.

Branford Marsalis coming out by himself to riff on sax while the crowd is chanting 'You know our love will not fade away!' Is super freaking cool. #DeadAndCompany
