They played a couple Clapton songs and 3 or 4 Dylan songs.
Yeah, that's not normal for them. Typically half their shows they recreate historic GD set lists and the other shows they make their own, but it's always pretty true to the GD formula. Can't say I've ever heard them play one Clapton song, nevermind multiple.
That's what my friends told me. I was bummed because they chose a different format. They did "Lay Down Sally".
As for the multiple Dylan tunes, that's not too out of the norm even back with Jerry. People often joked the Grateful Dead were the world's best Dylan cover band. But I get what you are saying. I'm not a big Dylan guy.
Though I will say seeing Visions of Johanna at the Spectrum in 95 was perhaps the best vocal performance I ever saw from Garcia. That should have been a Dylan tune played more often. Kinda strange. Did it twice in 86, then not again until 95 for a handful more. In an interview someone asked Dylan what he thought of Jerry's version and he said something along the lines of, "I heard and thought oh!, that's what that song was about."

A decent live music scene is a big plus!
We went to one of the June weekends. Three nights. It was an amazing experience. Probably the best concert experience I've had.
And a lot of Dead fans like this up and coming band, Goose. We saw them last night and they were amazing.
Yes the Dead and Co. at the Sphere was fantastic! We met up with old friends whi live in CA and AZ which made it even fore fun. We will go again - I think, hope they will have another residency there next year.
Goose is from a town in CT that I lived in for 22 years. They were about 5 years older than my kid so I never knew about them. We tried to see them at the Capitol on Port Chester but it was sold out and the secondary market for tix was very limited and very expensive. I've seen a few Youtube clips and will catch them at some festival or another.

I'm grateful I only saw these guys once.
