Celebrating 60 Years of Grateful Dead

This year marks a significant milestone for The Grateful Dead, as they celebrate their 60th anniversary. Last month, Weir hinted at the possibility of a reunion for the occasion, saying he’s open to the idea of performing as a trio to honor their legacy, especially following the passing of co-founder and bassist Phil Lesh.

The band had initially planned a reunion featuring all four core members to celebrate this special anniversary, but those plans were unfortunately put on hold due to the loss of Lesh, who passed away in October at the age of 84. A heartfelt statement released at the time mentioned that he "passed peacefully" and was surrounded by his family and love.

Weir addressed the chances of a reunion without Lesh in a recent interview, stating, “I suppose I could go back out. I wouldn’t put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point. It’d be me and two drummers. I’d have to think about that. I haven’t thought about it — it’s just now occurring to me that it’s a possibility that we could do that, since you asked… I guess we’ll just see what the three of us can pull together.”
