The Dead Tour 2009

The Dead are touring in 2009. Unfortunately, Jerry won't be with them.

The last full lineup in 1995 was the following:

• Jerry Garcia – lead guitar, vocals
• Bob Weir – rhythm guitar, vocals
• Vince Welnick – keyboards, vocals
• Phil Lesh – bass, vocals
• Bill Kreutzmann – drums, percussion
• Mickey Hart – drums, percussion

Jerry Garcia died in 1995, thus ending the incredible run the Dead had. I've been to a few Dead concerts back in the early 90's and they were unforgettable experiences.

But now the remaining members of the Grateful Dead are reuniting and touring again in 2009. bassist Phil Lesh, drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann and guitarist Bob Weir are going on the road together again.

The Allmanss and Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes will replace Jerry Garcia, who of course is unreplaceable, which I know is not an actual word.

I miss Jerry Garcia.

Here are the cities on The Dead 2009 Tour Schedule so far:

• The Dead Alban

Although there is no replacing Jerry Garcia, both in vocals or in lead guitar, these shows ought to be very special and there is no doubt that The Dead is still full of irreplaceable talent.
