On Friday night, Dead & Company returned to Boulder, Colorado's Folsom Field, offering up the first night of their two-night Summer Tour 2019 closer. Unfortunately, things did not go completely according to plan, as the show was delayed for about an hour due to weather.

Just after 7 p.m., the two-night concert kicked off as the band ripped into "Not Fade Away," riding the roar of an adoring crowd into a rousing version that steamed past the 10-minute mark. But fade away they did, at least temporarily, when lightning in the area forced Dead & Company to abandon the stage and event officials to clear Folsom's stands at 7:20 p.m.

By Kelsey Hammon and Charlie Brennan, Daily Camera In true Deadhead spirit, rain, hail and thunder seemed only to bring crowds together as they huddled in the concourse at University of Colorado Boulder's Folsom Field to ride out the storm at the opening night of the annual Dead & Company concerts.

Dead & Company were back at Folsom Field in Boulder, CO for one more Saturday night as the final performance on the band's 2019 summer tour. Following a Friday night concert that was troubled with severe weather resulting in a delay to the show, Saturday's forecast called for smooth sailing through a two-set performance and three encore closers to send their legion of dedicated fans home happy one final time this summer.
