Dead & Company launched their 2025 Las Vegas Sphere residency last night, carrying over several songs from their 2024 residency while also adding a live debut and new visual tricks to their set.You can see videos from the performance and the full set list below.Dead & Company did something new right off the bat, opening their set with a cover of the Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Lovin’,” which they haven’t played since forming in 2015. It was, however, a semi-regular fixture in the Grateful Dead’s sets in the ’80s and 1990.Dead & Company Add New Visuals to Sphere SetOther major updates to the band’s set came in the visual department, according to Billboard. The band’s signature Dancing Bears during “Bertha” got a digital facelift, transforming into multicolor pixels that combined to show the band playing live.Another new visual during “Don’t Ease Me In” elicited a rapturous crowd response: a stack of old televisions making their way to the Sphere ceiling, only for one giant TV to come tumbling down the mountain.Additional new visuals included a group of six masked and costumed people who “almost looked like Teletubbies in human form” striking various strange poses and holding a television that featured the band playing live.READ MORE: 10 Best God-Tier Rock Songs of the 1970sUncle Sam returned as well, riding his motorcycle through a Dead-ified version of Las Vegas, featuring the “Terra-Pin Bowl” bowling alley and a sign for “Shakedown Street.”Dead & Company’s current Sphere residency extends through May.
