Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic During Dead & Company’s current run of 30 shows at Las Vegas’ Sphere, no one is exercising the gift of gab on stage.

But in a career plagued so often by delays and false starts, the path from that announcement was characteristically uneven.

If not, play the album immediately, click here and here — and save “Rock and Roll Star,” the sprawling new 5-CD, superfan’s-dream-come-true boxed set, for when you inevitably become a superfan yourself, because this definitely is not the place to start your relationship with the album.
