Dead & Company is wowing audiences with their Sphere concert in Las Vegas. Last week, the band — formed nearly a decade ago with a lineup including former Grateful Dead members — kicked off the first of its 24-night residency at the spectacular venue, treating audiences first to images of the original Dead’s ’60s-era house in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. As the image pulled back, it gradually shifted to a view from outer space. The band's opening song was "Feel Like A Stranger" and its finale was "Not Fade Away." In between, a run of classic Dead favorites was interspersed with images and animations of a rainforest, a western setting, and more.
