american beauty or working mans dead. very beggars banquet style music. americana. if you like those i'd say the live stuff from the 1970-1973 period.
Musically I agree, but obviously the Dead became more of a cultural phenomenon because of their fans and open and improvisational approach to each live show. I think it's impossible totally understand or "get" them until you see them live, and without Jerry it's just not possible anymore, imo.
Europe 1972 is the best bet to capture the magic that was once there. Maybe playing that record on your ipod while wandering the upcoming show in Chicago would be as close as you can get theses days..

The four main guys have been playing together since Jerry died in 1995 in one form or another. As - "The Dead" or "The Other Ones", so I believe the only real news here is it's their 50th and they decided to call it "The Grateful Dead" this time, but its not like haven't done anything together in 20 years.
Long live the Dead!
Yes, but the four of them being onstage together has still been a relatively rare thing in the past 20 years, hasn't it? I think they only did the one tour together as "The Dead." Plus there's the added incentive of it being their very last shows together. I have to admit, I'm a little tempted to try for tickets, though as someone who has only ever attended one Grateful Dead concert (in 1979), I would be there purely as a tourist. Better if some hardcore, die-hard fan gets my ticket instead.

Soldier Field, in Chicago, is the location of the last show the Grateful Dead played before Jerry Garcia died.
This guy might be available.

No. Another uninformed human unit. It was Rock Scully and Johnny Bindon (Stones bodyguard and later Led Zeppelin hard man) who thought up, and arranged the Angels working Altamont. And the Angels were coming to the show anyway. The hope was that by "inviting them" to keep people off the stage, things would be cool. Wasn't the Grateful Deads fault the Stones organization's bad karma came back and kicked them in the ass. Ronnie "Bemused" Schnieder can explain the dealings with Filmways, and the flippant attitude with Bill Graham anyway he wants to spin it. Bottom line is the Altamont debacle is on the Stones management heads.
The real bottom line would include the angels themselves….if they had heads to
begin with.
I think blame is probably pointless at this point. But between Rock Scully and Sam Cutler I think there was a bit of a lapse of judgement. In the end, the violence is the fault of the violent.

Sounds like they're reuniting to me.
The Grateful Dead will live again.
>DEAD
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the surviving members of the band — guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh and percussionists Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann —announced on Friday morning that they will reunite for a run of three concerts at Chicago’s Soldier Field from July 3 to 5. Then the Dead will say farewell forever.
“That’s what we’re saying,” said Hart.
And then there's Lesh's quote:
“It is with respect and gratitude that we reconvene the Dead one last time to celebrate,” said Lesh.
“Not merely the band’s legacy, but also the community that we’ve been playing to, and with, for 50 years.”

And just looked up tickets - they're billing themselves as The Grateful Dead:

Again, to quote Heath Ledger as the Joker: "Why so serious?". I was kidding!
On that final note, and realizing I didn't state my opinion regarding a "reunion" in my post above (even though they call themselves "The Grateful Dead" ), I agree 100%.
With that said, I'm sure there will be a massive upsurge of LSD use in the Chicago area during the 4th of July weekend.

i wouldn't use ticketmaster as a source. i've seen them list solo artists as bands, for instance i've seen them list stephen pearcy as ratt when he wasn't in ratt for almost a decade. if you look at the poster it sure doesn't make mention that this band is calling themselves the grateful dead because it says featuring at the bottom and then lists when is playing
Talk about your favorite band.

Yeah, let them have a big fancy celebration for their 50th. They will have a complete blast, fans will love it, and with Trey they'll bring in the younger generation Fishheads/Deadheads, and everybody will just have fun. That is what it is all about.

I did a quick red-carpet interview with Bob Weir a few years ago. I told him, "Hey! We share the same birthday, Oct. 16." He looked at me weird. Then I said, "Glad to see you recovered from your recent ill health." He looked at me weird, again. I later realized it was the other guy, Mickey Hart.

An informative history documenting the joint activities of the four surviving original Grateful Dead members since 1995.
After the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann formed a band called The Other Ones. They performed concert tours in 1998 (without Kreutzmann), 2000 (without Lesh), and 2002, and released one album, The Strange Remain. In 2003, they changed their name to The Dead.
In addition to Weir, Lesh, Hart and Kreutzmann, the 2003 lineup of the band included Jimmy Herring, Jeff Chimenti, Rob Barraco, and Joan Osborne. The band was first officially billed as The Dead on February 14, 2003 at the Warfield in San Francisco. Later that year, the band opened up their summer tour on June 15 at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. They ended 2003 with two New Year's dates at the Oakland Coliseum on December 30 and 31.
In 2004, Herring and Chimenti remained in the lineup, and were joined by Warren Haynes. The band played a brief winter jam and a three-month summer tour called the Wave That Flag Tour. In 2006, guitarist Jimmy Herring joined the group Widespread Panic after George McConnell's departure from the group.
On February 4, 2008, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart, along with several other musicians, performed a concert called "Deadheads for Obama", at the Warfield in San Francisco. On October 13, 2008, Weir, Lesh, Hart and Kreutzmann, joined by Warren Haynes and Jeff Chimenti, played a second show for the Obama campaign, called "Change Rocks", at Penn State University. On January 20, 2009, the same lineup played at one of the ten official balls for the inauguration of President Obama.
The band toured the United States in the spring of 2009, playing 23 concerts in April and May, with a lineup of Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, Warren Haynes, and Jeff Chimenti. During the second night of the Spring 2009 tour, they were joined on stage by Tipper Gore who sat in on drums during the closing song, "Sugar Magnolia". They also headlined the second annual Rothbury Music Festival in Rothbury, Michigan on July 4, 2009.
Since the Dead tour Bob Weir and Phil Lesh have been performing together with their new band Furthur.

Oh god....awful news, now I will never hear the end of this from my dead-head friends.
The US economy is bubbly so I bet they got some irresistible money offered to reunite. If these gigs go OK expect more.
What will be interesting is how many original members show up and how side men are used to make them sound decent. You cannot charge big money these days and sound like crap.
Really? The Stones do it.
No, I really do. For the money they charge, for a band that is on its last wisps of credibility, yeah.

No. Another uninformed human unit. It was Rock Scully and Johnny Bindon (Stones bodyguard and later Led Zeppelin hard man) who thought up, and arranged the Angels working Altamont. And the Angels were coming to the show anyway. The hope was that by "inviting them" to keep people off the stage, things would be cool. Wasn't the Grateful Deads fault the Stones organization's bad karma came back and kicked them in the ass. Ronnie "Bemused" Schnieder can explain the dealings with Filmways, and the flippant attitude with Bill Graham anyway he wants to spin it. Bottom line is the Altamont debacle is on the Stones management heads.

I was initially disappointed that they would bill themselves as The Grateful Dead, but then I thought about it and realized Jerry would be smiling and encouraging them to do just that.
I can just hear him in his nasal drawl...."I'm not the Grateful Dead, never was, those guys are just as Dead as me".

Regarding the 50th... "Believe it if you need it, if you don't, just pass it on"...
Chicago would be fun I'm sure, but I personally don't like the scent of the "this is the last time we will play together" angle of this. I'm a bit of a dead fan... been to over 50 shows back in the day... but I'm saving my money for the Stones (fingers crossed) in June.
That being said, I really hope that the band is smoking in Chicago (and that there is a good internet stream for those who didn't make the trip).

Wasn't the Grateful Deads fault the Stones organization's bad karma came back and kicked them in the ass. Ronnie "Bemused" Schnieder can explain the dealings with Filmways, and the flippant attitude with Bill Graham anyway he wants to spin it. Bottom line is the Altamont debacle is on the Stones management heads.
Again, to quote Heath Ledger as the Joker: "Why so serious?". I was kidding!

the grateful dead actually aren't reuniting. if you read its says its a celebration of the grateful dead titled fare thee well
Sounds like they're reuniting to me.
The Grateful Dead will live again.
>DEAD
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the surviving members of the band — guitarist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh and percussionists Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann —announced on Friday morning that they will reunite for a run of three concerts at Chicago’s Soldier Field from July 3 to 5. Then the Dead will say farewell forever.
“That’s what we’re saying,” said Hart.
And then there's Lesh's quote:
“It is with respect and gratitude that we reconvene the Dead one last time to celebrate,” said Lesh.
“Not merely the band’s legacy, but also the community that we’ve been playing to, and with, for 50 years.”

And just looked up tickets - they're billing themselves as The Grateful Dead:

no Jerry Garcia ,no grateful dead .end of story
On that final note, and realizing I didn't state my opinion regarding a "reunion" in my post above (even though they call themselves "The Grateful Dead" ), I agree 100%.
With that said, I'm sure there will be a massive upsurge of LSD use in the Chicago area during the 4th of July weekend.

i wouldn't use ticketmaster as a source. i've seen them list solo artists as bands, for instance i've seen them list stephen pearcy as ratt when he wasn't in ratt for almost a decade. if you look at the poster it sure doesn't make mention that this band is calling themselves the grateful dead because it says featuring at the bottom and then lists when is playing
