The first of a two-night stand, the band — featuring original members Bob Weir and Mickey Hart along with John Mayer, Oteil Burbridge, Jeff Chimenti and Jay Lane (sitting in for Bill Kreutzmann who had to sit the 2023 trek out) — was in top form musically, playing for nearly four hours and spanning the Grateful Dead catalog from early studio cuts (“St. Stephen,” “The Eleven”) to Jerry Garcia solo songs (“Deal,” “The Wheel”) to fan favorites (“Eyes of the World,” “Wharf Rat”).

SeatGeek is in damage control mode after a $500 off discount code was mistakenly leaked to the public for at least an hour. The code was shared to social media on Friday, with an undisclosed number of orders able to be placed using the codes “MLB1” or “MLB2” that enabled the huge discount. The company told Action Network that it was “unwinding” the damage and cancelling orders that used the leaked code.
