Well, this is probably our most bizarre headline in our nearly two-year existence.  After what was already a huge weekend for Boston's Fenway Park, Sunday night was set to close out the weekend in epic fashion.  Paul McCartney's summer tour was scheduled to follow Dead & Company's big two-night run at the famed stadium of the Boston Red Sox.  History was made on Sunday night when the Grateful Dead & Beatles worlds finally collided, as Bob Weir stuck around Boston and sat in on both "Hi, Hi Hi" (Wings) and the classic Beatles' tune "Helter Skelter."

This would serve as the first time that a member of the two legendary bands have shared the stage together.  In a truly interesting twist, McCartney called New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski on stage for "Helter Skelter."  The local NFL star proceeded to dance, play a little air guitar, and even sang a line off of the White Album classic.  Footage from the two songs can be seen below, courtesy of Youtube users SleepyPiper and dgb519.
