OK, so admitedly I am a little late in writing about this, but earlier this week the remaining members of the Grateful Dead announced that they are going to reform for a 19 day tour across America starting in April with a performance at the Greensboro Coliseum on April 12th. Since the death of lead front man Jerry Garcia, the members, when they have played together have just gone under the name “The Dead”.
Joining the original members Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann will be Gov’t Mule / Allman Brothers guitarist Warren Haynes along with keyboardist Jeff Chimenti.
While the remaining Grateful Dead members have struggled to keep personal and artistic differences under control since the death of frontman Jerry Garcia in 1995, guitarist Bob Weir said that they have a “mind meld” going and look forward to bringing life back into the old material, as well as busting out new bags of tricks.
According to bassist Phil Lesh: “We’ve got some unfinished music,” Lesh clarifies. “We’re all still evolving in our own ways. You can always improve your playing. Let’s see what kind of a goulash we can make out of it. Besides,” he adds, “I just got two new electric basses.”
The tour comes following the group gathering earlier this year for an Obama benefit concert at the Warfield Theater.
Here is a list of all 19 of the Dead’s upcoming tour dates:
