Dead & Company Kick Off _Colbert_ Residency with “Jack Straw”

November 17, 2017


Dead & Company will play not one but two nights on Late Show with Stephen Colbert as the group promotes their fall tour. Yes, the group was actually in Philadelphia last night (the holograms are not on the road just yet) but thanks to the magic of television the band was able to record their two songs earlier in the week.

Appearing on an off day between Madison Square Garden gigs (where LeBron James kept The Garden warm for the band), the group dug into “Jack Straw” which aired last night. Again, Dead & Company will have another song aired tonight as a part of the broadcast. 

Watch the tune below and then stare at this absurdly photogenic shot of the band on set.
