It began in typical shambolic fashion—the disheveled-looking band ambled onstage, noodled around with instruments for a few minutes as if at sound check and then, with a few foot taps from Phil Lesh, launched into the first song of a three-hour night. But what was atypical about last night’s show from The Dead at John Paul Jones Arena—only the third stop on a 22-date tour—were some of the song selections and arrangements.

The Dead—original members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart—along with Jeff Chimenti and Warren Haynes will stop at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville as part of their spring tour.  The show takes place April 15. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow for $45-$75.
