Dead & Company Brings Folsom Field Back from the Dead

Folsom Field welcomed its first show in fifteen years this weekend with back-to-back performances by Dead and Company on July 2 and 3, 2016. Dead heads arrived in droves and shook the ground of this historic Boulder venue once again, a fitting homage to the concerts the Grateful Dead played here. All photos by Brandon Marshall.
