The Dead 50th Anniversary Tour 2015. Phil, Bobby, Mickey, Bill, and even ol' Donna Jean (considering she appears to be reconciled with the boys somewhat this is more likely than say, Tom Constanten) with guests for one last final farewell. Keep your fingers crossed!

Could be in part why Furthur has taken a hiatus, to allow some time to focus on meetings and rehearsals perhaps. I would assume the band would be Bob, Phil, Donna, Mickey, Bill, Chementi, and John K.

I mean he does it better than most anyone of themCould be in part why Furthur has taken a hiatus, to allow some time to focus on meetings and rehearsals perhaps.

You're right about Russo. Would be a tough call to bench him if they get Bill and Mickey to join. Three drummers maybe!

From the latest Rolling Stone (those of you without subscriptions can read it online next month): "Over two days of conversation, Lesh uses the words 'cordial' and 'distant' to characterize his current relationships with Weir and the band's surviving drummers, Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart."
Well, that's that I suppose, although Phil and Bobby might still tour with Russo et al.

The key term here is "Grateful Dead" 50th anniversary. I love Russo's drumming and think he does it considerably better than the last time I saw Bill & Mickey do it. But he is not "Grateful Dead". Furthur, yes. Phil & Friends, yes. Grateful Dead, no. Same for Joan. Donna was a member of the Grateful Dead from 72-79. Not just some tour in 2004 or whenever. I really liked her in the band but Donna IS Grateful Dead. If they are going to legitimately bill it as "Grateful Dead" 50th anniversary tour then the Devils and Donna have to be there. Otherwise it is just another Furthur, Dead, Other Ones, Ratdog, PLQ, P&F show.
Not trying to rant. Sorry if it comes off that way. Just my 2 cents and the way it came out of my fingers.
This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
What happens if I take both?

Really can't argue with that logic. Even though they'd probably again refer to themselves as The Dead, or less likely The Other Ones, it would be GD's anniversary, so now that I think on it, there's every chance that you're correct.The key term here is "Grateful Dead" 50th anniversary.

Hornsby counts though, even though he only went on one tour. Or was it one year? Anyway, I used to have a GD wall calender and the living and deceased band members' names were in bold on their birthdays. Bruce was definitely in bold.
August 9 does not exist. Just a blank box. Which is nice.

True that on Hornsby. We will see what we will see. I am making no predictions and the truth of the matter is that I will go see whatever lineup Phil deems me worthy of and be grateful for what I get.

The Other Ones were real good but Hornsby was def the one running the show. He would always stand up & make arm jesters to change things up. I think by the end of the tour they had had enough of it. The Dead on the other hand everyone had a hand in the changes.

How do they top this year?
Very difficult . Can't think that far ahead, head is still blown away from this years lineup. Thankfully we still have hockey on to keep things normalized

I'm going to a private festival over Memorial Day and Nashville in July. I've barely thought about either of those things.

Back to the 2015 speculation...
Listening to Jazz Fest on AXS TV right now and Carlos Santana is not a bad option for next year. 40,000 people grooving to Soul Sacrifice and Oye Como Va sounds like a good idea to me.

Phil Lesh & friends & family, a Bruce Hornsby project, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Randolph, Jackson Brown, plus of course SCI & Widespread Panic.Jun 24, 2014 15:54:54 GMT -5 @wharfrat1490 said:Bobby says he's down.www.jambase.com/Articles/120601/Bob-Weir-Wants-The-Dead-To-Honor-50th-Anniversary
