I never got any emails about whether or not "The Dead" (or "leftover dead" as i affectionately call them) actually played at one of the Inaugural Balls, so i finally searched the internet for reviews today...
NOTHING really on the net, even on Dead.net if you can believe that, Philzone.com has the set list (below), the Huffington post has a little piece by juliette powell about going to the show w/John Perry Barlow, & i was getting frustrated. Then the lightbulb came on... Youtube! (duh!)
(Excuse me a moment- OMmmmmmmmm... Channeling Bill Graham):
"They're not the best at what they do- they're the ONLY ONES who do what they do... Ladies & Gentlemen... Billy Kreutzman, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, (Jeff Chimanti, Warren Haynes)... The DEAD!
The Wheel:

More of The Wheel & another tease w/Touch of Grey, with Warren singing a verse.
Oh well, a tease is better than nothin'... Until more gets posted... WE WILL SURVIVE!

"A New Age... with Good Stewardship for the Earth!"
President Obama's Speech at the end of The Dead's set, & his dance w/First Lady Michelle:
