Dead & Company paid tribute to “the biggest Deadhead in the World,” the late Bill Walton, during their Thursday night performance at Las Vegas’ Sphere.
While the Grateful Dead spinoff band performed “Fire on the Mountain,” several photos of Walton, the legendary NBA Hall of Famer-turned-broadcaster, were displayed on the video boards inside the newly built entertainment arena on the Strip.
The photos included Walton attending various Dead concerts, snaps with band members and tie-dyed number “32” — the number he wore during his college and NBA days.
