Dead & Company wrapped up their Final Tour last Sunday, July 16 at Oracle Park in San Francisco. The 29-show run along with a benefit concert at Cornell and set at Jazz Fest was a memorable conclusion (for now?) to the longest-running Grateful Dead offshoot band since Jerry Garcia died.

While Dead & Company: The Skinny Hub is the home for show recaps, setlist breakdowns, statistical analysis and more, there were many other numbers at play over the past three months.
