Dear Jerry Concert @ Merriweather

Posted on June 11, 2015
Dear Jerry Concert at Merriweather

I wasn’t sure what to expect at this show as info was being held pretty close to the vest (and I know NOTHING about the Dead) but this was an interesting show to shoot. Basically all four remaining Grateful Dead members we in the house but only three of them got on stage at any time in order to keep the official reunion for later this summer. Each member did a short set with different people and then made way for the next person. There were also special guests like Peter Frampton, Eric Church, Los Lobos, Grace Potter and Jimmy Cliff. I’m still going through photos from the show and I’ll add more photos to this set soon. In the meantime, I wanted to get a few of these online because a few people have asked to see them. Enjoy!
