Dead & Company Mixlr Terrapin Radio: A Weather-Resilient Show at Folsom Field

As the sun began to set on the 4th of July weekend at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, the anticipation was palpable among the Dead Heads gathered for what would be the final two shows of Summer Tour 2019. Little did they know that Mother Nature had a surprise waiting in store for them – a torrential downpour that would test their dedication to the music.

The band announced an indefinite break due to inclement weather, and the stage and sound crews scrambled to secure the gear. Venue staff efficiently guided audience members to covered areas within the structure, although some die-hard fans refused to budge from their prized spots closest to the stage. Huddled together under tarps, blankets, and even overturned trash cans, they were determined to ride out the storm.

As 'Cold Rain and Snow' began to play, the deluge intensified, threatening to turn the event into a true rock 'n' roll experience – complete with hail, high winds, and thunderstorms. But the weather didn't seem to deter anyone in attendance, who were undaunted by the gathering clouds when Dead & Company kicked off with Buddy Holly's iconic 'Not Fade Away.'

In fact, the inclement weather only added to the excitement of the evening, as if it had been scripted specifically for this moment. The forecast had hinted at a dramatic display of meteorological prowess, and Folsom Field delivered in spades. And what better setting than on a 4th of July weekend in Boulder, one of the band's favorite cities to perform in?

As the night wore on, Dead & Company treated fans to an unforgettable performance, with all shows available for streaming and download on various digital platforms. Longtime Grateful Dead family member Gary Lambert will provide detailed show notes on this page. The live audio was mixed and remastered by the band's Front of House Engineer, Derek Featherstone, and Recording Engineer, Ross Harris.
