Dead and Breakfast

Harry Belefonte knew — and so did this crowd at the @the_ricbar #gratefuldead #deadheads #jamband

For the Johnny Cash classic “Big River”, Eric channels Cash’s guitarist Luther Perkins, while Alex leans into a Scotty Moore style chordal solo - both called Sun Studios home in the early 50s. #gratefuldead #johnnycash #livemusic

What an incredible night in Yosemite last Saturday 🌲⚡️ Huge love to everyone who came out, danced, sang, and shared the magic with us. Playing music surrounded by that kind of beauty and with such an amazing crowd is something we won’t forget anytime soon. Every show feels special, but this one really had something in the air. From the first note to the final jam, the energy was unreal ❤️💀🥞 Massive thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, and to all the hardworking people who keep Yosemite such an inspiring and beautiful place for all of us to experience. Until next time 🌙⚡️#gratefuldead #deadandco #deadheads #deadhead #jamband

Last weekend we had the absolute honor of playing the Spring Fling for the folks who keep Yosemite National Park alive and thriving 🌲✨ If you’ve ever stood in that valley, looking up at those cliffs, those waterfalls, that wild, untouched beauty, you know it’s something beyond words. Yosemite is one of the most breathtaking places on Earth, a massive protected wilderness filled with granite giants, ancient trees, and life everywhere you look . But here’s the truth… that magic doesn’t just happen on its own. It exists because of the people. The community that showed up for that party, the employees, the lifers, the seasonal crew, some of the most genuine, joyful, beautiful humans we’ve ever met. You all KNOW how to celebrate life 🕺💃 Huge love to @the_thinman for bringing us into that world, and to the Yosemite Employee Association @yeaforus for throwing a party we’ll never forget. And we gotta say this loud!!! To the park rangers, not just in Yosemite, but all across this country, THANK YOU. You protect some of the most sacred land we have. You educate, you rescue, you preserve, you hold it all together. And you’re doing it while funding and resources are stretched thinner than they should be. We are beyond grateful to have shared music in a place like that, with people like you. Moments like that remind us how lucky we are… not just to play music, but to be part of something bigger 🌎❤️ We’ll carry that night with us forever. ⚡ Dead and Breakfast ⚡ Grateful Dead Tribute #DeadAndBreakfast #Yosemite #NationalParks #LiveMusic #GratefulDead

There are nights where everything just clicks… and Saturday, April 25th was one of them 🔥🌄 Right in the middle of “Fire on the Mountain,” Alex Mandel stepped forward and let it rip, one of those solos that just lifts the whole room. You could feel it building, note by note, until suddenly everyone was locked in… band, crowd, all of it. Pure flow. It wasn’t flashy for the sake of it, it was intentional, melodic, and just the right kind of wild. The kind of solo that reminds you why live music hits different. You look around and everyone’s got that same look like, “did you just hear that??” Moments like that are why we do this. No setlist on paper can predict when something like that’s gonna happen, it just shows up, burns bright, and leaves everyone buzzing. If you were there, you know ⚡ If you missed it… we’ll catch you at the next one 😉 #gratefuldead #deadandcompany #jamband
