We are thrilled to announce “Fare Thee Well – Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead” – to the Dead community.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, and Bob Weir will reunite at Chicago’s Soldier Field, nearly 20 years to the day of the last-ever Grateful Dead concert, which took place at the same venue. “Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of Grateful Dead” will take place over three nights – July 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 2015 – and mark the original members’ last-ever performance together. The band will be joined by Trey Anastasio (Guitar), Jeff Chimenti (Keyboards) and Bruce Hornsby (Piano), and will perform two sets of music each night.
In the tradition of the original Grateful Dead Ticketing Service, tickets will be available via a first come first serve mail order system starting on January 20th, followed by an online pre-sale through Dead Online Ticketing February 12th and will be available online to the general public on February 14th via Ticketmaster.

I wouldn't know where to find acid these days....do they still make it? Not for myself... a hypothetical question of course.

So are they called Fare Thee Well or still calling themselves Grateful Dead? Bruce Hornsby say it isn't so, I mean he belongs in the & the Range but with the Dead? I guess unless he played with them during the Jerry years?Home Theater

I know...I know...but since I was too young to hear the real thing...I'm debating whether it would be worth the rigamarou to hear them this close to what was....however far away that may be.2 ChannelTurntable - VPI Classic 2/Ortofon 2M BlueAmplification - Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II, Parks Audio Budgie PhonoSpeakers - GoldenEar Triton 17.2 Home TheaterDenon AVR-X3300W; Rotel RMB-1066; Klipsch RP-280F's, Klipsch RP-450C, Polk FXi3's, Polk RC60i; Dual SVS PB 2000's; BenQ HT2050; Elite Screens 120"Man CaveTurntable - Pro-Ject 2.9 Wood/Grado GoldAmplification - Dared SL2000a, McCormack DNA 0.5 DeluxeCD: Cambridge AudioSpeakers - Wharfedale Linton 85th Anniversary; LSiM 703; SDA 2A

No need for acid, red's,vitamin c & coke is all you'll need! -

He did indeed play with them when Jerry was still kicking. -
Bruce has played with a lot of people. Great musician. I've seen the dead 3 times, though I've never been a huge fan: Duke's Cameron Indoor stadium twice, and the famous Watkins Glen concert in '73 (I think) with The Band and The Allman Brothers.
I think F1 is right, how do you go on without one of your main guys? Kind of like the Who without Keith, Led Zep without John.

It is so. Indeed, when he died, the surviving members as much as said so, and folded the band, as I recall.No Jerry, no Dead.

No Jerry, no Dead.
Agree...it would be like seeing the Doors or The Beatles. Just not the same.Anaheim Hills CA,
