The surviving members of the Grateful Dead: bassist Phil Lesh, guitarist Bob Weir, and drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will be touring for the first time in more than four years, with nearly twenty shows spread across a month from mid-April through mid-May!
According to the official website - “The lineup for this edition of The Dead will be the same one that rocked the house at Penn State last fall at the Obama benefit”. Deadheads for Obama is the name given to the February 2008 reunion concert of three former members of the Grateful Dead at the Warfield in San Francisco. The show was an act of support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, and featured former Dead members Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Mickey Hart, as well as John Molo, Jackie Greene, Steve Molitz, Mark Karan and Barry Sless. This was the first time that Lesh, Weir and Hart had been on stage together since 2004.
So Deadheads, fans and anyone nostalgic for a time when our music was all on vinyl and got scratched easily (but we didn’t care much), this tour might be for you.
