This week is a first for the Deadpod as I've decided to bring you a fine audience recording of one of the recent Dead & Company Final Tour shows. This is from Philadelphia on June 15, 2023.

I think this tour has to rank among one of, if not the best, run that Dead & Co. has performed, and since they do not plan to tour after this I felt it worthwhile to try and document at least one of these fine performances. I'm not claiming this is the finest show on the tour - I haven't had the chance to hear all the shows, but it is a very fine recording thanks to Jeff Travitz who recorded the show. I do hope you enjoy it.

I'll play set 2 next week.

Dead & Company Citizens Bank Park Philadelphia, PA, Thursday 6/15/2023 Set 1: Man Smart, Woman Smarter (King Radio cover) (tour debut) Shakedown Street (Grateful Dead cover) (>) Cold Rain and Snow (Obray Ramsey cover) Jack Straw (Grateful Dead cover) Brown-Eyed Women (Grateful Dead cover) Dark Star (Grateful Dead cover) (verse 1) (>) El Paso (Marty Robbins cover) (Weir on acoustic) (tour debut) Don't Ease Me In (Henry Thomas cover)
