This was Jay Lane's first full summer tour after joining in 2022, replacing Bill Kreutzmann who sat out due to health concerns.
The Pavilion at Star Lake has hosted Dead-related projects since 1989; this show continued a 34-year relationship with a venue locals still call by its original name, 'Star Lake,' ignoring corporate rebrands.
