Bob Weir and Phil Lesh's latest incarnation of the Grateful Dead, known as Furthur (named for the Merry Pranksters' bus), rolled around the county this summer and stopped at New York's venerable amusement locale, Coney Island, for a couple of seaside shows on June 26-27.

In addition to Dead mainstays Weir and Lesh, the band included guitarist John Kadlecik (Dark Star Orchestra), keyboardist Jeff Chimenti (RatDog) and drummer Joe Russo (Benevento Russo Duo).

Fans of the Dead's 1975 Blues for Allah album went to heaven during the Sunday night show. In addition to the first set "The Music Never Stopped," the band broke out "Blues for Allah" and the "Help on the Way/Slipknot!" > "Franklin's Tower" medley in the second.

Here's the set list:

Set 1: The Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion > Good Lovin', The Music Never Stopped, Sugar Magnolia > Dear Mr. Fantasy > Scarlet Begonias > Magnolia Mountain > Uncle John's Band

Set 2: Unbroken Chain, Let It Grow, Fire on the Mountain > The Other One > Cryptical Envelopment > Blues For Allah, Morning Dew, Eyes of the World, Help on the Way > Slipknot! > Franklin's Tower

Encore: Box Of Rain
