The Grateful Dead to Tour in 2009
Great news for all you Dead Heads out there: The original members of the Grateful Dead, Mickey Hart, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Bill Kreutzmann, have announced that they will be going on their first tour together in four years.
The group writes on their website:
“Happy New Year, everybody!! Hope and change are in the air! So what better way to kick off 2009 than to confirm what’s been buzzing in the rumor mill for some time: The Dead 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!…”
“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: The Core Four of Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, joined by guitar monster Warren Haynes and RatDog keyboard ace Jeff Chimenti (both veterans of the 2004 Dead “Wave That Flag” tour). The mood of the band for this Spring Fling is way up, so it’s sure to be a great tour!”
The tickets for the tour have not yet been released.
