CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- "There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert," Dead Heads are known to say.

LISTEN to Grateful Dead Radio on the Audacy App!

Even though the Grateful Dead are no more, Dead & Company - the supergroup of surviving Grateful Dead members Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann, joined by guitarist John Mayer, Tedeschi Trucks Band bassist Otiel Burbridge, and sought-after keyboardist Jeff Chimenti - keep the flame of one of the most authentic jam bands burning bright.

Dead & Company bring their one-of-a-kind show to Wrigley Field for two concerts this weekend. Get in the mood with more than a baker's dozen of my favorite Grateful Dead songs.

1. Jack Straw
2. Touch of Grey
3. Friend of the Devil
4. Althea (the version from 1990's "Without A Net" live album is my fave!)
5. Ripple
6. Little Red Rooster
7. Good Lovin'
8. Don't Ease Me In
9. Tennessee Jed
10. The Wheel
11. Scarlet Begonias
12. Shakedown Street
13. Sugar Magnolia
14. Playing in the band
15. China Cat Sunflower
16. Morning Dew (the epic song to close 1972's "Europe 72" album brings the house down!)
17. Help On The Way/Slipknot!/Franklin's Tower medley
18. Box of Rain
19. Uncle John's band
20. Terrapin Station...all six parts
