After a day when news of the Orlando nightclub tragedy subdued everyone even in the love and sunshine of Bonnaroo 2016’s folk- and Americana-led last day, Dead & Company’s two-set ride, with John Mayer’s guitarwork leading the charge, brought the fest to a fitting close on Sunday (June 12). Bob Weir had the final word, referencing homophobic politicians acting heartlessly in the face of the Florida shootings, he said, "Register and vote. Get those assholes out of there," provoking emotional tears and cheers from the crowd.
