The Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead 1987 Tour was a concert tour by Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead taking place in the summer of 1987 and consisting of six concerts.[1][2] Each concert began with a lengthy set by the Grateful Dead of their own material (sometime broken into a first and second set, per the Dead's own practice), followed by a roughly 90 minute set of the Dead acting as Dylan's backup band. The Dead had long performed many Dylan songs in their own concerts, so they were well-versed in Dylan's repertoire. However, some Dylan fans were not happy with the Dead playing the songs in their own style, or with Dylan going along with it.
